 Bar Spacing Requirements* Other Considerations
  Amazons    
Blue-Fronted Amazon Parrots should be kept in a cage that is at least 24" x 26" x 24", though larger is better. They should also be provided with lots of toys, especially things they can climb on or chew.

Blue Fronted Amazon

 5/8" to 3/4" Bar thickness of 3.3mm or greater
A cage best suited to adequately house an Orange Wing Amazon parrot would be between 39"- 59" high and have a minimum floor space of 20"x 36" . This size will provide room for lots of movement as well as space for perches, food dishes and a variety of playthings.

Orange Wing Amazon

 5/8" to 3/4" Bar thickness of 3.3mm or greater
Red Lored Amazon Parrots, like most parrots, would enjoy a play top cage. These birds love to sit up and look around. They also enjoy chewing wood and should have plenty of wooden toys in their cage.

Red Lored Amazon

 5/8" to 3/4" Bar thickness of 3.3mm or greater
A roomy cage is required for Yellow Fronted Amazons, unless the bird is to be let out for extended periods. Many birds can spend a good deal of their time on a play pen or parrot perch.

Yellow Fronted Amazon

 5/8" to 3/4" Bar thickness of 3.3mm or greater
A cage with a playpen roof is recommended for Yellow Nape Amazons. They enjoy chewing wood and should be provided with chunks of pine or fir wood for chewing.

Yellow Naped Amazon

 5/8" to 3/4" Bar thickness of 3.3mm or greater
The recommended cage size for Caiques is a minimum of 3.5' H x 4' L x 3' W. Caiques are considered chronic chewers and need to be provided with plenty of replaceable wooden toys or they may destroy their perches, and may do so in any case. Caiques seem to prefer jumping and hopping about often in lieu of flying, having well-developed, strong legs and feet. Caiques 5/8" Look for cages with lots of room to jump around.
A canary can be kept in an indoor cage which should be big enough to let the bird fly around. The cage should have a plastic or metal base tray covered with sand sheets or loose sand to collect the bird's droppings. Perches in the cage should be at at different levels so the canary will get plenty of exercise as it hops from perch to perch. The cage tray should be cleaned every day or two. The cage must be placed in a position away from strong sunlight and draughts. Canaries 3/8" to 1/2" Recommended minimum dimensions of 18"L x 14"W x 20"H
Cockatiels need a minimum cage size of 16" wide and 16" deep to be able to open and flap their wings inside their cages. Because cockatiels often have night-frights (a startled awakening in the middle of the night), they need extra wing-span room or they may damage their wings severely in flight. Cockatiels 1/2" to 5/8" Recommended minimum dimensions of 18"W x 14"L x 20"H
 

Cockatoos

    
Like all cockatoos, the Greater Sulfer Creted Cockatoo is an intelligent bird requiring plenty of interaction and stimulation. A large, open-top cage makes the perfect home for this bird.

Greater Sulfur Crested

 3/4" to 1-1/4" Bar thickness of 5.0mm or greater
Although smaller in size than many of the cockatoos, a very large cage for toys and play must be provided. Out of cage time each day is mandatory for all cockatoos and especially indicated for the very athletic and playful Goffin Cockatoo.

Goffin Cockatoo

 3/4" Known as escape artists, proper cage latching and locking is important.
Sulphur Cresteds are very active birds, and need plenty of room to play and exercise. They love to flap their wings, particularly when bathing and displaying.

Lesser Sulfur Crested

 3/4" Look for the largest cage within your budget to allow for playing and displaying.
The Moluccan cockatoo has a beak with enormous strength and a constant need for items to chew. Being by nature a large and active bird, they require plenty of time outside of their cage.

Moluccan Cockatoo

 3/4" to 1-1/4" Bar thickness of 5.0mm or greater
As with all cockatoos, the Umbrella cockatoo is playful and intelligent. Allow room for toys and wing-spreading in its cage. An open-top cage is ideal.

Umbrella Cockatoo

 3/4" to 1" Bar thickness of 5.0mm or greater

Blue Crown Conure

 1/2" to 5/8" Recommended minimum cage dimensions of 18"W x 18"L x 20"H.

Gold Capped Conure

 1/2" to 5/8" Recommended minimum cage dimensions of 18"W x 18"L x 20"H.

 1/2" to 5/8" Recommended minimum cage dimensions of 18"W x 18"L x 20"H.
For the Sun Conure it is advised to equip the cage with natural tree branches instead of traditional perches. The branches encourage chewing and peeling of the bark and also provide a more textured natural surface on which the bird can climb. They are also easily replaced.

Sun Conure

 1/2" to 5/8" A minimum 18L" X 18W" X 20"H cage placed in a busy area of the house is a great home for this bird.

 3/4" to 1-1/4" Bar thickness of 5.0mm or greater
Because of their smaller size, Severe Macaws will do well in a cage for African Grey Parrots, however, be sure it is sturdy and do not give these birds toys intended for small birds!

Severe Macaw

 3/4" to 1" Bar thickness of 3.3mm or greater
A Yellow Collar Macaw needs a cage wide enough to spread its wings without touching the sides and deep enough so that its tail remains well away from any bars while roosting (to prevent fraying). Also important are ood latches to keep it inside the cage until you let it out and plenty of toys.
