Buying a cage for your Parrot is not something you do, just off the top of your head. Finding the right Parrot cage is a very important part of the happiness and health of your large bird. Choosing the right cage will have a big impact on how happy and healthy your Parrot will be. The Parrot cage you decide to buy will depend in part on the size and breed of your bird.

For instance, breeds that are larger will of course need a much larger cage then those Parrots that are smaller in size. Our recommendation to our customers is that you buy a cage that will at least be double the size of their wingspan. You can’t go wrong with buying the cage that is too large or bigger than what you need. Most people make the mistake of buying the cage that is too small because they think they will save themselves some money. In the long run they will spend more money. After realizing that the cage is too small and will end up buying them much larger cage.

Parrot owners actually recommend that you buy a bird cage as large as you can find. Some bird shops will recommend a cage size that is too small, because they know that you are price shopping. Don’t fall into that bird trap. If you want your bird be happy and comfortable then buy something that is bigger than what you think you will need. Knowing that you bought a large enough bird cage will give you some peace of mind.

One critical component to consider when buying a Parrot cage is to make sure that the bars are not spread out too far apart. If the bars are spread too far apart, the bird can get its head stuck between the bars. Also, make sure that the bars have no paint on them. Some large Parrots are capable of chipped the paint off and eating it.

What kind of shape should you buy?

Most Parrot lovers think that the shape of the cage is for aesthetic purposes, it is not. The shape of the Parrot cage will depend on the kind of Parrot that you have. For example, if you have a small Parrot, they usually like to fly from side to side within the cage. So the length of the cage is more important than the height and needs to be a strong consideration. Larger Parrots tend to like to climb around, so having a taller bird cage would work better for them.

Final note , make sure you buy a bird cage that is easy to clean and has a easy slide out tray. This will allow you to change the cage at least once a week. Also make sure you find one with a large door for easy removal of food and water. If you follow our guide you will be a happy and healthy Bird owner.
