You Need a Large Bird Cage For Your Parrot

Imagine being an African Grey, or any other parrot or bird and caged up all your life in a small space. It is not a happy place, especially when you have wings and mother nature intended you to fly free. But as we know, keeping birds domesticated is sometimes good for themselves too. At least, they are well fed, free from the dangers of the wild, and much loved by their owners.
Macaw would need a cage at least three feet long and five feet wide. Other parrots like Amazons, African Greys, Conures, Cockatoos, also require large cages to make them comfortable. Do remember that these parrots live for a very long time, so a comfortable cage will ensure that they live a happy life. Consider the space available in your home before you make a purchase. Some bird owners build a walk-in aviary outside their home where they keep their birds during the warmer seasons. That would be an ideal situation if your property is big enough to accommodate it.

Bird cages that are made of stainless steel or metal are the most convenient because they are easier to clean and maintain, and will not damage easily, especially with the larger birds. You will need to clean the cage regularly so do consider the materials used for the cage.
