Are your birds ready to welcome a new season with a brand new living arrangement? Let’s all MARCH into springtime and talk about cages! Shopping for a new bird cage doesn’t have to be a nightmare. In fact, it can be fun with the right retailer. Bird Cages 4 Less invites you to grab your morning mug, and cozy up with your companion parrot to read our March Cage Series. Throughout the month of March, join us to explore the many options we have to offer for your special feathered friend.
Today, we’re going to talk about medium sized parrots. There is such a range in the category not only in size, but shape, color, and character. We’re going to include the following birds, and all others of similar size: large conures, caiques, lories, Poicephalus parrots, pionus, Quaker or Monk parrots, Alexandrine parakeets, and Mini macaws. Large conures include the Nanday, Sun, Jenday, and any hybrid. Poicephalus parrots includes the Senegal, Meyer’s, Red-bellied, Brown-headed, Cape, Ruppel’s, and any hybrid. And, lastly, mini macaws include the Hahn’s, Severe, Nobel, Yellow-collared, and Illiger’s.
All birds in this category have larger beaks and feet, but still retain the classic “too curious for their own good” parrot personality. So, just as with small parrots, bar spacing on a bird cage is paramount to safety. A cage with 5/8 inch bar spacing is appropriate for all birds mentioned, while 3/4 inch spacing is only suitable for the slightly larger species such as the pionus and mini macaws.
There are several other important considerations when choosing a bird cage size for medium sized parrots, such as the activity level and acrobatics of the parrots in your care. Caiques are bound to be playful and exuberant from dawn til dusk, appreciating an extra large cage – but your average pionus may prefer to nap while you’re away, and play when you come home. Another consideration is the tail length. Just as with the small parrot group, some medium parrots have extra long tail feathers that must be accommodated with a few extra inches in the width, depth, and height of the cage. So, if you’re the proud owner of an Alexandrine, Quaker, conure, or mini macaw, pay special attention to cage dimensions in relation to the rear end of your feather friend.
For a cage to suit any bird who enjoys exercising outside his cage, the Lahaina Lanai Playtop cage is a perfect fit. With a permanent playtop, which includes two arching ladders and two food cups, your active parrot will enjoy snack time as well as play time. The interior is spacious enough to spread his wings, hop onto an extra perch, and play with a toy or two. At 22 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 30 inches high inside, the Lahaina Lanai cage is the perfect combination of cozy comfort and basic playtop. Your bird will enjoy that this cage has four feeder doors for extra treats, and you will enjoy the easy rolling casters and bird-proof latches!
However, if you’re looking for a cage which is truly unique with outstanding features, you have to check out the Oahu Oasis Large with 
Playtop. With a visually appealing, two-leveled “human home” design, this bird cage not only compliments your playful parrot – it will also compliment your home decor! The Oahu Oasis is an impressive 36 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 59 inches high inside the domed top, and 31 inches high inside the playtop. With a bar spacing of 5/8 inch, this cage is perfect for any medium sized parrot in your family who loves to climb, flap, and explore. The interior of this bird cage boasts three feeder doors and plenty of space to hang a swing, multiple toys, and plenty of extra perches. But, the best part is the permanent playtop! Two food cups, a ladder, and space to roam safely make this cage an excellent choice for your rambunctious caiques, and clever conures. The Oahu Oasis is a safe bird cage with numerous features which are bundled together for a tremendous value. You and your active bird will enjoy this cage for a lifetime.
Perhaps you’re interested in something with a more demure, classic shape. We have two options that are sure to impress both the discerning owner and modern parrot.
The Avian Adventures Chiquita cage is a spacious bird cage at 28 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 29 inches inside. For our medium sized parrots, this cage offers a roomy interior as well as a playtop that includes two arching ladders, two food cups, and a toy hook for added fun! Three feeder doors, easy rolling casters, bird-proof latches, and a storage shelf below makes this cage a delight for owners, as well. Best of all, this cage is safe for your conures to mini macaws with 5/8 in
ch bar spacing.
A second option to consider is the Koloa Kavern Double Playtop cage. With a few extra inches, this cage is large at 32 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 31 inches high inside. This cage is the perfect to keep all of our long-tailed friends looking sleek and well-preened as the extra width, depth, and height makes it less likely their tail feathers will drag across the cage bars. However, this cage is excellent even for the short-tailed parrot in your life! The double playtop features more space to roam and exercise with added height, but is still functional with two feeder cups, two climbing ladders, and a pull-out tray for easy clean-up. Three feeder doors, a bonus breeder box door, seed catchers, easy rolling casters, and 5/8 inch bar spacing seals the deal for theKoloa Kavern. Feel free to spoil your favorite friend with plenty of toys, perches, and anything their heart desires as this cage is roomy enough to accommodate it all!
And, as always, there are the parrot owners looking for a very basic, easy-to-transport cage which is excellent for sleeping or traveling. Don’t worry – we have you covered here, too! The Kiko Kondo Playtop cage was mentioned previously is the March Cage Series for small parrots. While this cage could function as a normal home for smaller birds, it is best used as a temporary arrangement for your medium sized parrot. The cage is perfect for buckling into the backseat of a car at a size of 16 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 23 inches high. The bar spacing of 5/8 inch makes safety a priority, and the convertible top makes playtime an option once you arrive at your destination!
