How to Set up a Parrot Cage - Medium or Large sized Birds ft. Bella the African Grey 

Please don't use a chicken pen for a parrot as the chicken wire is toxic to parrots. When you decide what kind of bird you would like then invest into a good cage. Perhaps an Indian ringneck would be a perfect fit for you, they are very personable, friendly, and can be exceptional talkers and love to cuddle.

Sadly most of them aren't big enough on Amazon for any medium or large bird's. I have this exact cage from Amazon and it's a cheap cage with horrible locking mechanisms and where the food and water bowls go should slso be much more secure. We just moved ours into a large King's cage, which costs more than the cheap one's that Amazon offers. Our Grey was able to bite through the cheap metal that the cage is made out of. Thankfully we saw this within a short time of Dude doing so and were able to pull a King's cage I purchased for a B&G & a 2nd for a Hyacinth Macaw. We were lucky that the cage bars were close enough to house our African Grey in.

I'm glad you found the video helpful. I hope you are having a great time with your Grey.

We're so happy you found the video helpful. :) Have you gotten your Galah yet?

Flock of Five No sadly not yet, but maybe soon!

Flock of Five Hello! I am getting my Rosie in April or May! We just bought him today, but he is very, very young so he can’t come home until then. I am SO excited!

Bell Iron Fist update us when you get himm! 🥺🥺

sukiee msp I will! 😊

Bianca okay?

Bianca I agree. I guess some people don’t think about that??

We have cut her nails on occasion and have found she has better balance and less falls when her nails are longer.

Hello Marquise!! Happy to hear from you again :D

Maroc

What a great deal. :)

Link?

I would like the link

Charlie_the_ cockatiel what the hell dude? They where just trying to be helpful and give advice that they find proper okay? Even if you didn’t agree there’s no need to be so damn rude about it. Also this comment was literally made an entire year ago. 😐

@@blossomingflower1119 and i made this comment 1 month ago😐

@@blossomingflower1119 if you don't know the situation don't say anything simple😐

Charlie_the_ cockatiel and my post was made over a year ago....so same advice to you. If you don’t know the situation....don’t say anything, right?!

@@AsRock78 and your post was stupid right!

We have released a few videos since and are hoping to release a new video over the holidays.

Flock of Five Yay!

Macaws in my opinion shouldn’t be kept in cages u should build an aviary for them

@@khaledalloush2423 I totally forgot that I had commented that lol. Don’t worry though I have the double macaw cage from kings cages for my B&G (my only macaw). She will be moving to her bird room w/outdoor aviary in a couple months. Right now she is only in her cage a couple hours of the day and is out and about most of the time. Thank you for replying :)

Bella never had any difficulty getting to the top of the cage, including the ladder and the long wooden dowel on top. We were considering removing the top ladder and dowel because she used to have some behavioral issues with height dominance, but she grew out of it and we have left it there. At this point in time she doesn't really go up to the top dowel anymore and prefers using the sides of the cage to climb around and the flat part of the playtop. She has really taken to climbing around the whole cage.

Of course! Many vets recommend no more than 30% of diet as chop and snacks. 70% of the diet should be pellets.

Hello! So i know this was a long time ago and i know that she has already responded, but something i reccomend is sprouts. I give my green cheeked conure chop in the morning, sprouts for lunch, pellets for dinner. He has seeds and nuts as treats. In his chop he will have a few greens, a few orange vegies and something else. Every second day he will get fruit. It is very high in sugar so i do not reccommend giving fruit daily. I also give him sprouts as it is completely packed with nutritional value, i highly reccomend it. For pellets, it really depends what brand of pellet. High quality pellets can be absolutely amazing amd packed with good nutrition, vitamins and minerals. But some pellets have added sugars and other terrible stuff that can be just as bad as feeding seeds. I still do not reccomend giving them too many pellets - even if they are an amazing brand, as i believe that sprouts and chop are still much better, yet at the same time pellets can be just as good and nutritional. Now i know all you asked was how much to give your bird but i thought it would be nice to see someone elses birds diet, so you can weigh out your options to really decide what you want to do for your bird (or future bird😆). For the amount, i give my bird about 50% pellets, 50% of everything else. So 3 teaspoons of chop in the morning, 2 teaspoons of sprouts for lunch and about 5 teaspoons of pellets at night. Remember the importance of foraging too. Good luck😊😉

Water Sheep yes, it would be!

How long this Cage lasts

Depends on the amazon

We got them at a pet store in Canada and are unsure of the brand or product name. There is a similar product from A&E CAGE CO called multi branch that comes in different sizes. The branches are all different, so it would be best to purchase them in store if possible.

Flock of Five Okay, will do thanks!

Which store?

There's multiple similar java perches on a website called Mysafebirdstore.com for $10.00-$20.00!

Smok uwu ooh, thank you for linking! I might buy one

36 inches x 24 inches

Thank you so much, TheDropper805. We have uploaded a few newer videos, but are making them at a slower rate. We are hoping to release one over the holiday season.

We filmed a new video of Happy the Green Cheek talking at length. Just need to find the time to edit it and post it.
