Choosing a Macaw Cage

The best cage can make an enormous difference in the life of a macaw keycaps. It can aid in bonding the bird and help it flourish.

To keep a macaw happy and stimulated, it is important to provide plenty of toys in the cage. Making an informed decision is the best way to find the ideal cage for your pet.

Size

Macaws, the biggest of domesticated birds, require a cage large enough to accommodate their size. These intelligent birds require plenty of space to play and exercise and they love having stimulating toys in their cages to keep them occupied throughout the day. The ideal cage should be at least 3 feet wide, 2.5 feet deep, and 6 feet tall.

The recommended minimum cage size for macaws is 1.5 to 2x the bird's wingspan, to allow them to move around and exercise. If you decide to include perches, toys and food stations to the cage, it will consume more space and leave less for the bird's wings.

It is also important to consider the size of the cage when you are choosing a macaw cage. Their tails can grow as long as their bodies. It is important that the cage is sufficient in height to stop the bird from scraping its tail against cage walls when it turns around.

Another thing to consider is the dimensions of the bars inside the cage. Macaws have strong beaks and feet, so you need to make sure that the cage's bars are made from solid metal and have sufficient spacing to keep your bird from getting its fingers stuck in them. You also want to avoid cage designs that could compromise your bird's safety, such as round cages, or cages with decorative scrollwork.

Choosing a quality large bird cage for your macaw is an investment that will ensure the health and wellbeing of this beautiful pet. A cage that is suitable will give your bird the space it needs to live a healthy and happy life, while also allowing you to spend more time with him and interact with him outside of the cage.

Bar Spacing

These features prevent the bird from accidentally escaping and stop them from taking or chewing through toys that they find in their cage.

The spacing between the bars is another aspect to consider when choosing a cage. The cage must have bars that are not too close to each other because birds could get their head or feet stuck between them while climbing. This could be very dangerous for birds, therefore the bars' spacing needs to be at least 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch for small finches. For larger parrots, the bar spacing should be 3/4 inch or 1 inch apart.

The cage should have a wide, easy-to-open door. This will make it easier to clean the cage and access water and food. The front door should be bird-proof. The cage should also have a place for a grate as well as a perch because birds like to rest on the perch and the grate. The cage should also be equipped with a swing-out feeder door, a slide out tray, a bird-guard rail, and a movable divider that can turn a cage into two.

The cage should also be rectangular or square in shape rather than round as the odd angles could restrict toes and make it difficult for birds to maneuver. Avoid cages that have mesh on the sides and top because birds are able to bite through it. Galvanized cages should be rinsed thoroughly since the process could leave traces of zinc and other metals on the wire that can be harmful to birds.

A cage can bring your pet satisfaction or anger. To ensure you purchase the appropriate cage for your pet make sure you consider all of the factors that are listed above. When you choose the best cage that meets your bird's needs, your pet will have an enjoyable life and you will be more content as well.

Toys

Macaws are intelligent birds, great green macaw talkers, and live long (up to 100 years). They can also be extremely destructive so it is important that their cages and toys provide plenty of stimulation and entertainment.

It is essential to provide a variety of toys them to play with. They are social animals and like to interact with their human. It is crucial to provide them plenty of chewing materials that will keep their beaks active. My cockatoo Lily for instance, was fond of shredding and turning books into "confetti", which she would then fling all over the room. I was required to spend a long time every morning cleaning up the scattered confetti.

You can buy many parrot toys, but you may already have some at home. Natural branches, like those found outside, can entertain for hours and can be used to create hand or foot toys. Untreated lumber cut from your local home improvement shop or an area woodworking shop is an inexpensive toy that will offer hours of fun for your bird. The trick is to hang non-toxic branches from the bars of the cage of your bird in small pieces. Some branches can be spliced together with sisal or cotton and rope to make a variety of toys.

If you have a cockatoo, or other bird that isn't used to playing with toys, it might take some time and patience to get them to be able to play with them. Initially, keep the toys out of sight and gradually bring them closer. At some point, birds will be able to play with toys that aren't their own.

Safety

Macaws are curious intelligent birds that may become prone to accidents in cages that are not suitable for them. Therefore, it is crucial to put safety first when selecting a cage for your pet.

The ideal size for a cage should be at least 5-6 feet tall and wide. This will allow the bird to fly free which is crucial to its well-being. The cage should also be constructed of sturdy materials, like stainless steel, to resist the chewing that happens in these large birds.

Stainless steel cages are a popular choice among pet owners due to their strength and safety. They provide greater ventilation and visibility while also protecting your severe macaw from getting trapped in sharp metal components that can be harmful to them. Additionally some stainless steel cages are constructed with doors that are larger to facilitate easy access for cleaning and interaction with your pet.

Toys are an additional essential part of a macaw cage that provides both entertainment and enrichment. The rotation of toys on a weekly schedule will stimulate your pet's brain and help it develop its natural instincts to hunt. Furthermore, toys must be made of durable materials that can withstand the weight of a macaw flying and are safe from chewing or ingesting.

When building a cage it's also important to avoid using materials that can be harmful to macaws. Paints and finishes that contain lead and other harmful chemicals are some of the most common toxic materials. You should search for cages made from non-toxic materials and that meet the regulations of the government.

Allow your macaw to interact outside of its cage. This helps them bond with their owners, lessens stress and anxiety and encourages a healthy behavior. Ideally the socialization process should take place in a calm, dark place away from the noise of other pets or children within your home.
