Parrot Cage
Parrot Cage
Parrot cages should not be round and must have corners for the birds to feel comfortable. Inside the cages there should be enough bird toys to keep the birds active and happy. Parrots are of many sizes. The size of cages you will need to keep your pet will depend on the size of the parrot or parrots. To make the birds happy, make the cages as big as possible and fill it up with toys.
Even small parakeets must have Parrot cages which are at least 18" x 14" x 22", where 18 is width, 14 is depth, and 22 is the height. That, of course, is the minimum requirement. Even small parrots like lories will be happier in cages double that size. Birds should be able to flap their wings, and fly around, and hop from perch to perch within their cages and larger the cages are, the healthier the captive birds would be.
For larger parrots like macaws, the width of the Parrot cages should be at least 40" as their wingspan is more than that of parakeets. And the height of the cages should be such that the parrot's tail does not touch the cage bottom when it is on any of the perches. Above the bird there should be enough space to hang the bird toys. Lack of space and lack of toys will suffocate the bird and it might scream and bite and pluck its own feathers.
Parrot cages should ideally be squares, rectangles, or hexagons. Corners are a must for the caged birds to get direction. Within a rounded cage it is said to be difficult for birds to get a point of reference so that they might become confused and frightened. And horizontal bars are better for cages than vertical bars. Horizontal bars will double as extra perches for the bird and they will be more suitable than vertical bars for hanging bird toys.
Jungle life of parrots like lories is full of activity and variety. In their natural habitats they fly from one tree to another in flocks. To ensure that they miss their real home as little as possible, their Parrot cages should be full of bird toys and the birds should be allowed to interact with their masters as frequently as possible. Lories feel the face or fingers of the owner with their brush-tipped tongues and it should be given enough opportunities to do that.
Ideal bird toys for small parrots like lories are hanging bells and ropes that can be easily hung inside Parrot cages. Plastic, wood, and other natural fibers are ideal toys material. Leather toys are not strongly recommended because it often tends to become sticky and messy with the nectar that these birds are fed. Twigs and wood used, whether for perches within the cages, or for bird toys, should be free of chemicals and pesticides.
Birds get bored with the same toys day in and day out. One way out of this is providing them with small, improvised homemade toys. Lots of things available in the backyard, or leftover things like containers, covers, and water bottles, can be converted into good bird toys with a little innovativeness.
Shop and buy a small, medium, or a large parrot cages for you pet parrot and pet birds. All types and sizes of bird cages and bird toys are available for your pet birds.
