For some people finding a cage is one of the hardest things to do.
It should be remembered that one of the most important things in a bird's life is the cage that will be chosen for it to live in.
This cage should be large enough for the bird to spread its wings comfortably without touching either side.
One rule of thumb is that bigger is better.
Before purchasing a cage please take into account how much time the bird will be spending in it.
Because, if it will be spending a lot of time outside of the cage, then a smaller cage might be suitable.
Wire spacing is also an aspect that must be carefully considered.
For instance, do not get a cage with wire spacing that is wide enough for your bird to get its head into.
This is a particularly unsafe condition.
Find a cage that is affordable, safe, durable and long lasting.
Wrought iron cages with nontoxic powder coated paints will generally meet all these requirements.
But definitely the best choice for larger birds are the stainless steel cages.
These cages are less likely to be damaged by the larger birds and although generally much more expensive, they can often be found at affordable prices.
Round cages are not recommended for most pet birds.
Birds that climb and maneuver on cage walls may circle the cages becoming frustrated or distressed at the seemingly endless boundary.
Corners in cages give them reference locations.
However, this will not likely be an issue with the smaller birds that generally fly from perch to perch.
