You might be searching for a cage for your new or existing parrot, it can be quite a large decision to make. I am going to help you make this a bit easier by giving you a number of things to consider.
Parrots are very long lived and will be with you for many years so they need to be kept happy, comfortable and relaxed.
The most important rule when looking for a new cage is to go for the largest one you can afford.
Parrots require a lot of space so a cage that is too small is a big problem!
Parrots require lots of stimulation and are very intelligent. Your parrot needs to come out of his cage on a daily basis to play with you or by himself. An area where the parrot can play such as an open top cage is ideal. You can use this for training sessions, rewarding or just general play with your parrot.
Parrot cages need to be very spacious so that whichever parrot cage you choose it needs to provide your parrot with plenty of space and comfort.
It is important that your parrot cage is durable as those powerful beaks can do a lot of damage. Make sure that your cage is parrot proof and designed to last a lifetime rather than a few years.
It is best to position the cage in an active room to help keep your parrot stimulated and happy. The parrot cage should be placed away from areas of high traffic (next to doorways), direct sunshine and draughts as these can stress him out.
Parrots can feel more secure with a wall behind them so a corner of a room can be a good place. Corner cages take up less space than a conventional cage and can provide your parrot with lots of comfort and space that will keep him happy.
Please remember your parrots cage is his home. It is important that he comes out of the cage regularly to interact with you but it is also important that he can also go back to his cage for some personal space if need be.
Remember these important points and you will have a happy, healthy parrot for years to come.
