The size or distance between budgie cage bars

[milliej]

I know there are many different types of cages but for budgies, aren't the bars (I'm thinking of the vertical ones here) all the same distance apart? My trio's cages measure 1/2 inch or 1.27 cm apart.

I'd appreciate knowing for when I order stuff for their cages and I'm still in imperial although google is very handy to get the metric equivalent! Thanks

Mine are 1cm, I think that is what they're meant to be for budgies.

That slight difference probably depends where they are made, or rather which country's measuring system is being used, as most are made in somewhere like China. I have no idea where mine was made - the distance is a little over 1cm - about 12-13mm.
