Once you've got your parrot, it will become your immediate family member for a long time, so if you're really concerned about your parrot, you should be very sure that your parrot gets the best cages you could get.
Seeing how his bird cage will be his home for the most part of his life (unfortunately, leaving even the best trained parrots fly freely through the house poses a real danger to them, or is a potential risk for them to run away), hence choosing the appropriate parrot cages is a very important task
The first criteria of choosing the appropriate parrot cages should obviously be the bird cage's size.The parrot cages' size is advisable to be directly proportional to the parrot size. By sticking a large macaw in a smaller cage will not only make your parrot uncomfortable, but it will in fact affect its health and mood in a negative way, for more obvious reasons.
However, this doesn't imply that smaller birds should have small cages either. To be honest, the larger the cage, the happier the parrot! Of course, your home’s design might not permit getting the largest bird cages out there, but try finding a room that has a lot of space for a parrot cage and place it there rather than on “traditional”, smaller places.
And even if you are able to get the largest of parrot cages from market, I want you to remember that it is still a CAGE. Give your parrot ample space to fly (around the house, be reminded that no windows or doors are left open where it could escape through) will do heaps of good for his liveliness, mood and health. Try keeping an eye for discounts on parrot cages too because this will certainly save you a hell of a money.
In choosing the appropriate parrot cages, the parrot cage's shape is also very important.You might have realized that the usual cages have a cylindrical shape, also having a greater height than their length.
It is very bad for your parrot, since it's not able to exercise its flying freely (I'm pretty sure they can't fly straight up or straight down, can they?).
Vertical cages have their advantages, allowing the parrots to climb up and down between bars, offering a better compensation for the fact that they can't fly as freely.
The materials from which the bars and cage door are made of is definitely one of the major factor when you're choosing the appropriate parrot cages. Some bird cages are made of poor plastics or toxic metals and since most parrots have the bad habit of chewing everything surrounding them, the negative effects these cages could cause are pretty obvious. Moreover, quality material bird cages also reflect better for your overall home decoration.
Although these are the one of the main parameters you should focus on whenever you're choosing a parrot cage, you might want to pay more attention to further details, how easily are parrot cages maintained (it depends alot on the material used for the cage), the ability to attach perches and accessories directly to the cage, its bar spacing (you should make sure that your parrot won't get caught between the bars in case they are too tight) and having a secure door.
The main point is, you should see things from your parrot's stand point whenever you're choosing the appropriate parrot cages, try to ask yourself what can you do to make it more comfortable and happy. But make sure you also don't put a hole on your wallet when you choosing the appropriate parrot cages, it's best you do a research on the best offers on parrot cages for sale in the market before anything else!
