If you have either a African Greys, Amazons, Parrot, Cockatoos,or Macaws you should give serious thought to a large bird cage. A birds health and well being is directly related to his/her environment.  The cage should be safe, yet comfortable, for your bird. It should promote natural instincts such as to fly or climb. Also, features or bird cage accessories that make cage maintenance easier will allow you to spend more time with your bird. The large cage should be roomy enough for the bird to stand comfortably and move freely within it and spread his/her wings without touching anything else. Most experts say the cage should allow for 1-1/2 times more then the wingspan.  It is sad and cruel to place a bird in a small bird cage.

There should be plenty of room for food, water and treat dishes along with a bath. Don’t forget the bird needs plenty of toys and bird cage supplies to encourge exercise for good health. Play also stimulates instincts and
intelligence. But you don’t want the bird to feel that he/she is just lost in all the accessories.  The bars should prevent escape or injury but still encourage instinctive activities, such as climbing, flying, or play. Large bird cages should have a bar spacing of 1-1/4 or more inches. Inappropriate spacing can result in injury to your bird.

Sufficiently large doors are a must. Make sure it features a quick and simple method of locking and securing doors. Large doors will provide easy access to your pet and let you conveniently clean and refill the feeder cups. A removable drawer or tray will make cleaning easier.  Large pet birds have considerable beak strength and are prone to chewing, so check on any paint to be sure it is lead and zinc free and any materials are completely pet-friendly. Avoid sharp edges.  Just remember, all birds stay happier and healthier in a roomy cage. A good rule is to buy the biggest cage you can!
