Image Source

A part of taking good care of a parrot is to find a suitable bird cage where your pet can stay safe. A parrot cage may be as fancy as it can get with all the bells and whistles, but what’s important to pet parrots are really simple: parrots need to feel secure and safe, away from threats and predators.

The right parrot cage has to be spacious enough for your pet. A parrot must be able to spread its wings without touching any side of the cage. It has to be made of durable material is made of metal. It has to be safe for birds. The cage door has to be large enough to move your pet in and out. Inside the cage should be a place for food and water dishes, perches and areas where your pet can sit, sleep and socialize.

Cleaning the cage should be a breeze. We recommend getting a cage with a removable bottom tray to easily remove food remnants, droppings, and bird dust. And most of all, the best birdcage has to be stable and durable. You want one that will last for years since parrots can live for a decade and longer especially when it receives good care.
