Hey everyone,

I'm looking for your recommendations for cages for hopefully a future Amazon parrot. Preferably something less than 1 thousand dollars. I imagine that the parrot would be in the cage for all night and possibly some during the day(depending on my work situation at that point). I would also have a stand-alone play stand for when I had he/she out and wasn't actively interacting.
Any suggestions? :anyone:

I am a fan of the Avian Adventures cages and have 3 of them. The Grande playtop for my larger Mealy Amazon, and even for my umbrella Cockatoo. Plenty of space, cages hold up perfectly.

Once cage is over 11, the other over 13 years old.

I agree, bigger is better. 36" x 24" would be the minimum IMO.
Most Amazons aren't going to break welds, so you don't have to go heavy duty.
I also agree playtops are perfect for Amazons.

I like Avian Adventures cages. The Grande would be an excellent size. My Amazons are in Mediana playtops and that has worked out but if I had the space they would be in Grandes.
Mediana is a good size for smaller Zons. My Red Lored is in that one with playtop that's never used since the two boys spend out of cage time together in Kazoo's room. They use the playtop all the time.
