Bar Spacing Guide

Bar spacing is the most vital factor when selecting a bird cage. Choosing a cage with bar spacing that's too wide could result in your bird escaping from it's cage, or worse yet, injuring itself when trying to escape. As discussed in the Bird Cage Selection Tips article, it's also very important to select a cage that's adequately sized inside of the cage. That's vital to the health of your bird as well. This makes for an interesting balance when selecting a bird cage. You want the cage to be large, but the bar spacing can't be too wide for your specific bird's species. The Bird Cages by Species Guide is great for helping you with your cage selection. It shows every cage available for every common species of bird. So once you feel like you may have found the "perfect" cage for your parrot, make sure you consult that guide.
