HOW BIG SHOULD MY BIRD ’ S CAGE BE ?
As a rule , bigger is better . In the wild , birds spend their days flying from tree to tree in search of food , nest sites and mates . In captivity , pet birds rarely get the chance to exercise , forage for food , or search for a mate . Their cages must be big enough to move around comfortably . They should be able to turn around without striking anything as they move from perch to perch and stretch or flap their wings .
While there are a wide variety of cage designs available , generally a rectangular , powder-coated or stainless-steel cage is preferred . Ideally , the cage should be as long as it is tall , and tall enough that the bird has room to move up and down without hitting its tail on the cage floor . Tall , narrow cages are impractical , as most birds like to move back and forth and not simply straight up and down .

WHAT SORT OF PERCHES SHOULD I HAVE ?
