How to choose a cage suitable for a parrot to live in

Speaking of pets, we have to talk about parrots. Because it’s easy to take care of, and it can talk, talk to you, and make you laugh. Parrots love to climb, so there is a cage with bars that are made up of horizontal bars rather than vertical bars, because this makes climbing easier for the parrots.

The cage should be strong so that the bars cannot be bent or damaged by the parrot, and weak bars can be bent or damaged by the parrot and injure the parrot. Cages made of plastic coated railings can cause parrots to eat the coating and are not suitable. Quality cages are made of stainless steel, especially those made of colorful mild steel railings. Railing spacing is very important for the parrot’s safety, and the railing should always be small enough to prevent the parrot from poking its head out between the railing gaps. For small parrot species, column spacing of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) is necessary. Medium parrot species such as grey parrots and Amazons require a 1 inch (2.5 cm) pitch, while great macaws can reach a pitch of more than 1 by inch (3.8 cm).
Regarding the placement of the cage, the top of the cage should not be higher than your standing eye level. This is because tall parrots are usually superior and not easy to tame. But for overly frightened parrots it can be slightly above your eye level. The bottom of the cage is usually equipped with a tray to prevent objects such as bird seed from falling to the ground and to prevent parrots from bumping their feet through the bars at night. The chassis should be covered with newspaper and replaced daily. To help the parrot feel safer, the cage should have a solid side and not be surrounded by bars. If a solid side is hard to find, put one side of the cage against a solid wall. We have to carefully choose a good cage for the parrot, so that it has a comfortable home.
