Two parrots can live in the same cage if they are compatible and the enclosure is large enough to allow personal space. For medium-sized parrots, a cage at least 150 cm wide with separate feeding areas is recommended. Always introduce birds gradually and monitor their behaviour.
Bar spacing depends on parrot size. Small parrots typically require 1–1.5 cm spacing, while medium to large parrots need wider spacing to prevent injury. Bars that are too wide or too narrow can both pose safety risks.
A cage should be large enough for your parrot to fully stretch its wings without touching the sides. Bigger is always better. Species size, wingspan, and time spent outside the cage should all be considered when choosing the correct enclosure.
Food bowls and droppings trays should be cleaned daily. Perches, toys, and bars should be cleaned weekly to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of bacteria buildup.
Many parrots benefit from having their cage partially covered at night to encourage rest and reduce disturbances. Ensure airflow is not restricted and always observe your bird’s comfort.
Stainless steel cages offer maximum durability and are ideal for heavy chewers, but they come at a higher cost. Powder-coated cages are a more affordable option and perfectly suitable when made with bird-safe materials.
Yes, high-quality powder-coated cages are safe when they use non-toxic, bird-safe coatings. Always avoid cages with peeling paint or unknown finishes, as parrots may chew exposed metal.
