The cage should be at least 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 6 feet tall. The recommended minimum cage size for macaws is 1.5 to 2x the bird's wingspan, to allow them to move around and exercise. If you decide to put perches or toys, feeders, and food stations inside the cage, they will take up space and may cause less space for wings exercise. severe macaw is also important to consider the height of the cage when choosing the macaw cage. Their tails can grow as long as their bodies. It is important that the cage is tall enough to stop the bird from scraping its tail against the walls of the cage when it turns around. The size of the bars is an additional aspect to be considered. Macaws are strong with their beaks and feet, so you need to make sure that the cage's bars are constructed of solid metal and have sufficient spacing to keep your bird from getting its fingers stuck in them. Avoid cages that compromise the safety of your bird, like round cages or cages that have decorative spiralwork.

The spacing between bars is a further aspect to consider when choosing the right cage. The cage must have bars that are not too close together because a bird can get its feet or head stuck between them when climbing. This could be very hazardous for birds, so the spacing between bars should be at a minimum of 3/8 inch or ½ inch in the case of small finches. For larger parrots the bar spacing should be 1 inch or ¾ inch apart. The cage should have a wide, easy-to-open door. This will make it easier to clean the cage as well as access water and food. The front door should also be bird-proof. The cage should also have a perch and a grate since birds love perching on them. The cage should also be equipped with a swing-out feeder door as well as a slide out tray, a bird-guard rail, and a movable divider that can turn a cage into two. The cage should be rectangular or square instead of round, because the odd angles can restrict the bird's feet. This makes it difficult for them to move around. Avoid cages with mesh of plastic on sides and tops since birds are able to chew through them. Galvanized cages should be rinsed thoroughly since the process could leave trace amounts of zinc and other metals on the wire which can be harmful to birds.

If you have a cockatoo or other bird that isn't used to playing with toys, it may take some time and patience to get them to accept and play with them. In the beginning, keep the toys away from view and slowly bring them closer. Eventually, most birds will begin to play with toys that are not their own.

A few of the most commonly used toxic substances are paints and finishes that contain lead as well as other harmful chemicals. Make sure you choose cages composed of non-toxic materials that comply with the regulations of the government. Allow your macaws to interact outside of its cage. This helps them bond with their owners, lessens anxiety and stress and encourages healthy behavior. The best socialization occurs in a dark, quiet area away from children and other pets.
