The cage bars should not be too close together, since birds could get their feet or head stuck between them when climbing. This is very dangerous for a bird, so the spacing between bars should be at least ½ inch apart or 3/8 inch for smaller finches. For larger parrots the bar spacing must be 1 inch apart. The cage should also have a large, wide door that is easy to open. This will make it easier for you to clean the cage and to get water and food. The front door must be bird-proof. The cage should also have a place for a grate and a perch as birds like to hang out on the perch and grate. The cage should also be equipped with an opening for a feeder that swings out and a slide-out tray, a bird guard rail, and a moveable divider that can turn one cage into two. The cage should also be rectangular or square instead of round, because the odd angles could restrict the bird's feet. This makes it difficult for the bird to move around. Avoid cages with mesh on the sides and top because the bird can easily bite through it. Galvanized cages should be thoroughly cleaned because the process can leave toxic zinc and metals on the wire.
