What is the minimum size bird cage for a Parrotlet?

I have a 22"L x 14"D x 18"H cage and I would like to know if that would be big enough for one Parrotlet bird. Please post your suggestions and, or the minimun & average size of a Parrotlet bird cage.
Thanks :]]

I have a parrotlet. His cage is 24" L x 15" W x 20 ½" H and he seems PERFECTLY happy in it. The cage you mentioned above might be a teeny bit small, but as long as you make sure he gets PLENTY of exercise and time out of his cage with you, it should be fine I consider my cage size the minimum, but if he will have time outside the cage too, he should be happy in that one. If you have any more questions about your P'let, you can probably find all the information you need from my Yahoo! Group, ParrotletsPlus.

The people there are really knowledgeable, and they REALLY helped me through all my questions about owning my first Parrotlet

The bird has to have certain items like the food and water dishes along with the perch to stand on. The dishes made out of stainless steel, high impact plastics or crockery are all good to use. A extra larger bowl for a bird bath is needed as well. Birds even like to be sprayed or misted. Be sure the water in the bottle is clean and free or any chemicals. A extra dish for treats is great if you have room. Birds like a wide variety of foods. 

After the essentials have been meet, placing some fun time toys in the cage is good. This increases physical and mental exercise. Birds will get very bored and start to find things to entertain their selves with which may not be a god thing. Being birds love to pick, chew and shred, they will do this on everything, even their selves. Feather plucking can be a sign of boredom. As you clean the cage and feed the bird daily, take a few minutes to check the items for the behavior. Birds will chew for example on the rope perches. Check to be sure there is no fraying that the bird might get their claws stuck in. When purchasing the toys and accessories, make sure there is no dyes, chemicals or leads that will hurt the bird. Make sure the bird has smaller items that can be picked up and played with by the feet and claws. 

It is also important after all the items are placed in the cage that the bird still has room to stretch and flap the wings. It is also important that the tail feathers do not touch the back or the bottom of the cage. Birds need room in the cage to move and walk around a little. Just like people they need the physical and mental stimulus to make for a balanced , happy life.
