Has anyone seen one of these?

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a large parrot cage with lots of floor space. The cage must have a solid bottom (plastic?) rather than bars. I'd like the biggest cage possible.

Does anyone know of any large parrot cages with a solid bottom?

Can anyone suggest a regular cage that could easlily be converted to have a solid bottom?

Thank you

Why do you need a solid bottom for?

And you can just get any big Cage for a macaw don't matter an just go to a home depot and get pexi glass cut out to the gate on the bottom and just take out the gate and put the pexi glass.

Enjoy
Henry

Both of our Cockatoo's have King's Cages.....on Chiquita's we removed the grate, and she has the pan as the floor.....most cages have a grate over the pan, you just take it out, and they have access to the solid pan floor.

The bars on the bottom of Birdy's cage come out so you can leave it as a solid base.
I thought that was a common feature in cages?

Edit: Oh I was beaten to it.

Is this for your crow? A cage large enough will be very expensive and probably have the wrong bar spacing. It would be easier to just build a indoor aviary with stainless steel mesh With a simple frame. it will be less expensive and give your bird more room.

I would go with a double macaw cage. I know they are available in the UK as an owner of some african greys has a double macaw cage for her two sibling greys. I don't know where the best location would be to buy one in the UK, but I know that here in the US, a double macaw cage is typically within the $600-$1,300 price range.

The bottom has the ability to have two grates, which you can remove, along with two metal trays. Short of that, you are looking at a single macaw cage (with 1 sliding metal tray instead of two), or building an aviary.

:18: Thank you all for letting me know!!

I went cage shopping for ideas today and figured out the bars on most parrot cages can be removed, I didn't realise that before! I have a maximillian pionus (this isn't the bird that needs the solid bottom cage) and the floor bars on his cage can't be removed, I just guessed all other parrot cages were the same.

I planned to buy my cage second hand or order one online so I will check with the seller that the floor bars can be removed before I buy it

I have a crow like copperarabian mentioned. My bird spends most his time on the floor of his cage. Parrots obviously hold their food with their feet to break up what they're eating...Crows don't do this, they break up their food by smashing it with their beak on the ground which is why the cage needs a solid bottom with lots of floor space

PS: copperarabian, you said the bar spacing on a very large parrot cage would be wrong for a crow... What do you think the correct bar spacing would be for him? I didn't think the bar spacing would matter too much as he doesn't climb, chew or walk on the bars. I just planned to make sure the bars were small enough so he can't stick his head out the cage, and trust me, his head is pretty big!...Is that not ok?

Just to let you all know I got a new cage yesterday and it's exactly what I was after!

My little baby loves it!

I'm not sure what the correct bar spacing would be, but a crow can still get it's head trapped.

Will you post a pic of the cage you picked out

The cage I picked is called a "Liberta Enterprise Parrot Cage".

I've had to modify the cage slightly because when the floor bars are taken out there's a gap between the wall bars and the tray base. I've raised the base from underneith using some wooden planks (which luckily isn't noticable unless you're lying on the floor!)

The bar spacing seems pretty suitable because he's unable to poke his head out the cage

Sandwich loves his new cage and I think it looks pretty nice too!

Here's a pic:

Besides the open top, it looks like a great cage! Glad you were able to find a suitable one!
