Big Bird Cages & Enclosures, Quality Engineered

If you’ve read anything about bird keeping, you know that parrots need a big bird cage. Space is needed to house the parrot, food dishes, watering dishes, toys, perches, accessories and swings. The parrots themselves can take up quite a bit of room, depending on the breed. Amazon parrots for example can reach 3 feet in length.

While everyone agrees that parrots need a large bird cage, the question remains, how large is large enough? The answer: it depends on the size of your bird. In general you want your parrot to be able to stretch his wings without hitting either side of the bird cage.

The proper size also depends on the number of birds you plan to keep in each birdcage. The more birds you have the larger the parrot cage should be. If you want an exceptionally big bird cage, consider purchasing custom bird cages, which can be made to match any measurements.

Big Bird Cage Setup

When it comes to the happiness of your large bird, the cage set up is important. There are several items you need to have in order for your big bird terrarium to be comfortable for your pet.

Castors can be added to the bottom of the birdcage for easy transportation.

Perches

For a comfortable cage, provide a variety of places for your bird to perch on around the cage. To keep your large bird happy, you should place different width perches around the cage since a bird’s feet need to adjust to different widths regularly to keep the joints flexible, or serious foot problems can develop.

The ideal cage set up should have plenty of perches for the number of big birds in your cage, but not too many that it is crowded. Having different levels of perches is ideal, the bird will gravitate to the higher ones but will enjoy the options once comfortable in the space. Too ensure that your large bird is safe make sure you purchase perches are large enough to support your bird.

Toys

Toys are a great energy outlet for your large bird. To help you choose a good toy, try to imagine what they would do in the wild. Birds have a need to chew, they do this in the wild to survive and during nesting. Choose toys that allow your bird to chew, shred and ones that have loose strings.

How To Clean Your Big Bird Cage

When it comes to cleaning a large birds cage, you’ll need the basics—water, cloths and some type of non-toxic cleaning solution. Wipe the bird cage down at least weekly and deep clean monthly.
