Cage Size Guide


Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff
cage selection guide
   for small birds like

    Finch, Canary, Parrotlet, Parakeet, Lovebird
    bar spacing: No more than 5/8"

   for medium birds like

    Cockatiel, Conure, Lory, Senegal
    bar spacing: 1/2" to no more than 7/8"

   for large birds like

     African Grey, Amazon, Macaw, Cockatoo
    bar spacing: 3/4" to no more than 1-3/8"

Explanation of our “Size” specification
Inside: The inside LIVING AREA for the bird. Does not include space between floor grate and tray floor.
Outside: The OVERALL DIMENSIONS, including wheel width, seed skirt, and playtop accessories.

Suggestion…
Remember, bigger is always better when selecting a cage – as long as bar spacing is narrow enough to prevent injury and/or escape. For example, if you believe your Conure is not quite "large", but bigger than "medium", select the more spacious cage.

FOR LARGER BIRDS, we recommend cage living area be a minimum of 1-1/2 times your bird’s adult wingspan in width, depth, and height. This allows comfortable movement and may reduce the risk of feather damage. FOR SMALLER BIRDS, a flight cage can provide the room needed for flying.

Look for the bar spacing symbol near each cage. It indicates the amount of space between bars.
