*For Finches & Canaries the safest bet is to stay with 1/2" bar spacing, 5/8" is too large for some Finches/Canaries if they are on the smaller side for their respective species

Some important things to consider when shopping for a cage:

The bigger the better, as long as the spacing between the bars is narrow enough to prevent injury to your bird in the event your bird tries to escape.
Your bird's head should not be able to fit in between the bars.
The door needs to be large enough to comfortably put your hand through, catch the bird, pull out the bird, and put the bird back in its cage.
The latch/lock on the cage door needs to be escape-proof, since the bird is going to have a lot of time to try to figure out a way to open it.

If you buy your bird from a pet shop or bird specialty shop, the size of cage they'll recommend will probably be the minimum size for that species/breed of bird. Your bird will be much happier & healthier with a larger cage.
