Parrot Cage Dimensions
How big should your parrot's cage be? What dimensions should you aim for?
​
Choosing the right parrot cage isn't only about size - it is also about safety. So, don't ignore bar spacing as well! The wrong bar spacing can cause birds to get their heads stuck between the bars which can be extremely dangerous.
