the cage is about 1m x 50cm x 70cm. they seem to get along better now, since i bought 2 differnt food bowls, might just have been territorial issues and the cockatiel has learnt not to get in his way. they look both healthy and happy. =) they keep chirping in the afternoon, and my cockatiel singing ...
