Must haves for your parrot cage
At a minimum, the parrot must have enough space to easily flap his wings, and to climb and move between perches. There should be plenty of space for toys, perches, and treats. The more time a parrot will be confined to his cage, the larger the cage will need to be, but, as mentioned above, every parrot needs at least two to three hours outside his cage every day.
Most parrot cages have openings for seed and water dishes, so that seed and water can be changed easily from the outside of the cage. This can be particularly useful if a pet sitter cares for the bird while you are away.
Since parrots are very intelligent, many of them can open their cage doors and sometimes they can open the seed and water dish openings. This problem needs to be addressed immediately by using padlocks or other effective, safe fasteners.
Every cage must be fitted with appropriate toys, perches, and dishes.
