AI pick (brand): Prevue Pet Products

What the AI looks for in Birdcages & Accessories
- Bar spacing for the species
- Finches, canaries and budgies need at most 1/2 inch; cockatiels 1/2 to 5/8 inch; conures 5/8 to 3/4 inch; greys and Amazons 3/4 to 1 inch; macaws 1 to 1.5 inch Bars that are too wide let heads get stuck, and bars that are too narrow trap toes and beaks.
- Safe materials
- Stainless steel or lead- and zinc-free powder coat; no galvanized wire for chewing birds Parrots chew metal and coatings, and zinc and lead poisoning are common causes of avian illness.
- Perch variety
- Several diameters and textures, with natural wood as the main type Perching on one uniform diameter all day contributes to foot sores (bumblefoot).
- Cleanability
- Pull-out tray and grate, and accessories that clip on or come off without tools Daily cleaning only happens if it is easy.
