Macaws are the giants of the jungle! Their bright plumage and bold, inquisitive nature make them a favorite choice for pets. However, it can be challenging to find an adequate birdcage to house these beautiful parrots.

Macaws have long tails and a wide wingspan, so it’s important to purchase a bird cage that is large enough to allow them to move about freely without damaging their wing feathers. Macaws also have strong beaks and toes, so the overall strength of the Macaw birdcage, bar gauge and spacing are also important considerations.

Probably the most important factors to consider is when selecting a Macaw bird cage is the interior space. Most experiences would recommend getting as large a birdcage as you can afford.

There are many sizes and types of Macaws, so it is more difficult to provide a specific recommendation that fits all species. As a guideline, shop for a bird cage that allows you bird to flap their wings freely. For a small macaw, shop for a minimum cage size of 34” wide, 24” deep, and 36” tall. For a large macaw, shop for a minimum cage size of 36” wide, 48” deep, and 60” tall.

Also important is the bar spacing. Shop for bar spacing of ¾ inch to 1 inch for smaller macaws and 1 inch to 1.5 inches for larger Macaws. Finally, be mindful of the strength of the cage.

Macaw’s come in a variety of sizes from smaller Hahn’s macaw to the much larger and very impressive Scarlet that can grow up to 3 feet in length. They are very intelligent, good talkers, and have the ability to outlive their owners (up to 100 years).

They are highly social animals and benefit from an owner that is willing to provide them with sufficient attention to ensure they stay happy and healthy. Because of their size and strong beaks they can be destructive so it is important to provide with plenty of toys to chew on and keep them entertained.

They are also excellent talking birds and benefit from an experienced caretaker who is able to provide ongoing training to ensure they don’t become tool excessively loud.
