Depends what you want and if you want any it to look nice they are both adequate for an adult a. Avic. If it’s possible I would add a bit more cross ventilation to the smaller one if possible.

Yes these are made to order enclosures so I can add screens. Would you add one on each side on the smaller one or just one on the top? What about the larger one? Add at the top or no?

I can get screens or drilled holes I thought the screens would be good anchor points for the web.

One on each side.

I'd be reluctant to put a screen on the top, as sometimes even Avics get their tarsal claws stuck in screens, and they could fall and injure themselves while trying to get free. If you're able to drill a few holes in the top, that would be better.

Which size would be best for an A.Avic adult permanent home? 8x8x12 or 10x10x16? I'm including pics of the enclosures because I'm wondering if the ventilation is sufficient. Do they need one added at the top to?
Either will work, larger would be nicer.

BTW, species names are not capitalized.

Most of my ventilation is on the sides, but I included a few holes in the top to help the air circulate (and also so I can drip water onto the webbing through the hole in case they don't go down to their water dishes).
