Information On Buying A Parrot Cage
Buying a cage for your parrot is not just something that you do on a whim. A cage is important especially with this kind of pet, who can be really restless and messy in the house. Besides, the cage will have to also depend on the kind of parrot breed that you have.
For instance, breeds that are bigger will of course need a bigger cage. This will not only ensure their safety but also your things safety as parrots can get really wild when they are out of their cages. They will claw on your sofa and chew on everything that they can get their hands on.
How big will it be?
The size is one of the most important consideration when buying a cage. You don't just buy a size that will fit the current size of your pet parrot, you will also have to think about the other things that you have to put in there. Will he be able to move freely? Will he be able to fit in there when he grows?
Owners actually recommend that you buy the largest that you can find on the market. Some pet shops will recommend some cage sizes but remember that these are minimum sizes. If you want your pet to be comfortable and have peace of mind (which will also leave you with a peace of mind), then buy something bigger.
Also, make sure that the cage you will buy have bars that your parrot will not be able to get through. For instance, for large parrots, spacing that are wide can be good to minimize the feeling of being caged in but try to also see if they can fit into it. Small spaces in between bars are recommended for parrots that are small like doves and finches.
What's the shape?
Although some people think that the shape of the cage is purely for aesthetic pleasure. It is not. The shape of the cages will depend on the kind of parrot that you have. For instance, if you have a small parrot, they will be doing some flying from side to side so the length of the cage is more important than the height.
The case is not the same with large parrots, which need the height of the cage for climbing, stretching and playing. Still, you also have to make sure that the width of the cage is enough for the parrot.

avian vet pls help! small parrot's corp damaged?
stray cat attack by mouth (not sure). corp is damaged and all food consumed is visible from the outside. I suspect damage is further than corp cos the hole seem to get bigger. Have brought it to the vet, but the vet said there was no hope. THeres only options of surgery (with 20% success rate) and the other's to let it die. I brought the parrot home. However, a day has passed and small parrot was capable of normal activities still (chirping, hpping, washing and feeeding), so I was wondering if I should just go and buy some antibiotics to stop the infection before it reaches the intestines. What are the recommended medicine? thanks!
The worst thing you can do for your bird is self-diagnose your bird's illness then buy antibiotics at the pet store. These are typically mixed in water. They are very broad-spectrum and rarely useful in most infections. There are a few exceptions, but you cannot possibly figure these out without a veterinary exam and culture. At best, these medications give a false sense of security and can cause you to waste valuable time when your bird could be getting proper medical care. Time is of the essence when it comes to sick birds. They can deteriorate and die within a matter of hours if an infection takes hold.
If you give the wrong antibiotic for a specific bacteria, you either do nothing, or create an even worse infection.
Get the bird back to possibly another avian veterinarian. The vet will often prescribe an antibiotic based on a smear that he or she looks at under a microscope. They should also take a blood sample to send to the lab for further culture. While it would be ideal to wait for this culture to come back, if a bird is deathly ill it is best to start him on something right away while awaiting results. However, don't rely on this as the only treatment for your bird. Those culture results are important. Ask you vet to do antibiotic sensitivity testing. While this may cost a bit more, this allows the lab to determine the best antibiotic for the particular strain of bacteria present in your bird.
