What size cage should I buy for my bird?

- Suzie

Ideally, the largest cage you can possibly afford should be the cage you get for your bird. Every parrot should have a flight cage or aviary where they can spread their wings and fly from location to location – however, it’s not realistic for everyone to have the space (or budget) for something like that… but you do get my idea. This is why time outside of the cage is so important.

I am a real fan of the cages Cages by Design makes. My mother is an interior decorator, so I think that has a lot to do with it. I need it to look good in the house if it’s going to be inside and I love the way these cages look.

They also clean up after themselves with the friendly feeders that come along with them. This keeps so much more of the food in the cage rather than on the floor!

The biggest deal with a bird’s cage is that there is more space horizonally than vertically. They spend more time going sideways than up and down. This allows for much more exercise in the cage via flight or climbing. It’s always a good idea to put things far away from each other that your parrot needs – such as food on one side and water on the other so they do the most exercise in the cage as possible. You want to highly encourage activity from your bird when he is inside his cage. Look for cages that allow the best for this.

Another thing to keep in mind when shopping for appropriate cages for your bird is that they are made of stainless steel. It’s safe and does not rust… I’ve done a ton of research on metal toxicity (ever since our macaw suffered from it and almost died from eating parts of his cage) and honestly, it’s better to be safe than sorry and 304 grade stainless steel cages are 110% safe from metal toxicity.

In all of our videos you will notice our CBD bird cages, so now you know where we got them! My birds have never been happier than they are in these cages out of any I’ve tried in the past. You can’t help but make their cages fun when you have one of these!
