Parrot Cages

Although your Amazon should spend significant time daily out of its habitat socializing with you, a cozy and comfortable habitat that meets all of your bird's needs is essential for a happy bird. A habitat for an Amazon should be a minimum of 36 W x 24 D x 48 H inches. It is best to provide the largest habitat possible to help ensure that your bird has ample room to stretch and exercise. Bars should be strong metal and spaced no more than a ¾ inch apart and any doors should be secure as parrots have powerful beaks and are known escape artists.
