TYPE OF BIRD CAGE

 

Cage is the major factor in a bird life, it is their home and very dear to them, we should have a proper size and type bird care for different species, this is what I believe for my parrots and they are very happy.

Safety

As with bar spacing, your birds head, wings, feet or beak may get caught in the cage beware of doors, latches and other cage parts that could trap your bird. Lead and zinc content in cages has also been a problem, especially older or painted cages. Galvanized wire contains zinc and should be avoided. Also watch for sharp edges on cage parts,

 

CAGE SIZE AND BAR SPACING

 

Budgies 18 x 18 cage - 1/2" spacing

lovebirds 18 x 18 cage - 1/2" to 5/8" spacing
             Cockatiel 22 x 17 cage - 1/2" inch to 5/8" spacing
             Conure 24 x 22 cage - 5/8" to 3/4" spacing
             Caique  24 x 22 cage – 5/8” to ¾” spacing
            Amazons 32 x 23 cage - 5/8 " 1" bar spacing 4mm bars

African Grey  32 x 23 cage - 5/8 " 1" bar spacing 4mm bars

Smaller Cockatoos 32 x 23 cage - 5/8 " 1" bar spacing 4mm bars

Larger Cockatoos 36 x 24 cage – 1 inch bar space 5mm bars

Macaw 36 x 24 cage – 1 inch bar space 5mm bars

Cage Shape

Avoid cylindrical cages as they tend to be too small some birds feel insecure in cylindrical cages. Cage should have so much space they can get most of their exercise flying within the cage. large parrots, taller cages are fine since the extra height does provide exercise by climbing although they still need to be wide to allow stretching and room to play.

Quality

Invest in a good cage which are made by high quality materials but they are expensive though I prefer to buy these cages for my parrots they are safer and will be worth it over the life span of your parrot

 

Easy to Maintain

You should buy cages is easy to keep clean.  Look for a pull out tray to clean the cage, food and water dishes that can be easily removed and replaced without opening the main door of the cage.

Thanks
