Top 3 suitable cages for macaw

Macaws are the giants of the parrot world; they have giant wings, giant tails, giant appetites and giant mandibles. When choosing housing for your large macaw — whether it’s a cage, indoor flight or an outdoor aviary — bigger is always better. The bigger the housing, the less likely your macaw is going to become bored and possibly exhibit negative behaviors.

About Macaw :

• Colourization Adult: Both adults bright blue above, mostly golden-yellow below; with long blue and yellow tail; bare white facial disc with fine lines of green feathers; throat black; crown and forehead green. Large black/grey bill. Eye yellow.

• Longevity: 60 yrs

• Housing: Should have access to a large enclosure (15 m (50 ft) long) in which to fly for part of the year.

• Diet: Soaked or sprouted sunflower seed; walnuts, peanuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, pine nuts; corn on the cob, banana, orange; slices of wholemeal bread, cubes of cheese. Complete kibble for Macaws.

• Enrichment: Large macaw toys, chewables (fir branches, pine cones, bird-safe wood), large perches, swings, ladders; regular bathing.

• Nest Box Size: Horizontal box, 16" x 16" x 48" (40.6cm x 40.6cm x 122cm) or 35 gallon (9.2 L) pickle barrel.

The suitable cages for macaw :

The depth of the cage is most important, according to Joanne Abramson, an author of The Large Macaws: Their Care, Breeding and Conservation and a macaw breeder for 29 years. “Most cages are 24-inches to 30-inches deep in order to accommodate [our] doorways.

Csaky, a macaw breeder for 20 years with a specialty in hyacinth and scarlet macaws, said the material is less important than having a “sturdy” well-constructed cage. “If the welding is done well, then the bird should be OK,” said Csaky. Square tubing might be better constructed, but welding is easier to clean, she added. Csaky recommends bars with a diameter of a quarter inch and a spacing of 11⁄2 to 2 inches. Two-inch spacing can make it easier to see the bird through the cage bars, but 11⁄2-inch spacing is better for their beaks, which they use to climb around the cage. “Wider spacing is harder on their beaks.”

Keeping your macaw entertained and providing a large enough cage can reduce the bird’s desire to chew its cage apart, Abramson said. “The larger the cage, the less likely they’re going to go through it.”

These cages will give your large macaw all the space it needs in an enclosure and plenty of room to climb. Take a careful look through the top-quality options we have below, including large and extra large options for big birds, with a variety of features sets. You will find dometop and playtop cages for added climbing fun, split level houses for the best of both worlds, and breeder cages for you professionals.

Purchasing A Bird Cage :

The most important thing you will buy for your bird is its cage. Since this is where it will spend the bulk of its time, a cage must be large enough for the bird to move about freely; otherwise, the bird will be an unhappy creature. At minimum, the cage should be 14" l x 11" w x 12" h. Remember, once food dishes, perches, and toys are added, the actual space in which your pet has to move about will be diminished. Please, resist the "starter kits" some pet stores offer if the cage is smaller than the above dimensions. I know it will seem like a good deal at the time, but it will not be good for your bird in the end. If you can afford an even larger cage, then get it. Your bird will thank you. We as humans go through busy times when we cannot give our pets as much playtime as they want/need, so if the bird has a bigger play-space it will not mind some alone-time quite so much. Whatever size cage you buy, make sure the bars are no more than half an inch apart. This will prevent your budgie from getting its head caught between the bars. Also, try to find one with bars made from heavy wire as the bars tend to bend easily on cages with thin bars. Finally, a cage with a non-toxic coating on the bars is best as it prevents rust from developing on the cage.

The other thing that cages come equipped with is food and water dishes. You will also want to buy a separate cup in which you can put treat seed or fresh foods.
