would a fish tank be alright for a bird enclosure, the size of the tank is 24 inch long, 22 inch high, and 19 inch wide. and the lid is a mech lid, so would this be fine for a bird like a cockatele?

Would work about as well as a bird cage would for a fish 
You can pick up proper bird cages reasonably cheaply.

You're better off with a Parrot Cage
I don't see a fish tank having near enough ventilation, it would get too hot in there.
Check out ebay
I got a $300 rrp Parrot Cage brand new and flat packed for $80, I was lucky, but if you hunt enough you might be too.

Nope, don't do it, the bird would probably stress so much its not funny.
Get a proper bird cage, its really the only way to go.

Nah I wouldn't use a fishtank for birds. They would try to fly through the glass and hurt themselves

...definately keep them in a click-clack for a while first - wouldn't want the babies stressing out in a full size fish tank...

I really hope this isnt a serious question. Please let it be a joke.
