Cage parts

Good luck with your cage search! Blue is one rambunctious macaw! They aren’t all bar biters/benders. Mine has zero interest in biting bars and ironically I have 2 heavy duty SS cages for him. His larger cage from Animal Environments will probably last 300 more years. I won’t be around to see its demise. That is one solid (and heavy) cage. 30+ years old and as good as new.

Even when you get your new cage you should keep searching for quality secondhand SS cages. Deals can be had! There was a used monster Animal Environments SS Luxor cage (double macaw) for sale near me for a while. It was a great deal, but I had no need (or space) for such a gigantic cage. I contact my local macaw owner friends whenever I see a great deal. Sometimes it works out.

I wish I could have afforded a $5000+ stainless steel cage that is big enough for a macaw. I’ve been looking for months trying to find one that’s reasonable as Blue is an aggressive chewer. He met with his behaviorist sometimes the Mac daddy’s are this way. All you can do is perfect a diet, and provide as much enrichment as possible in hopes that his cage deconstruction behaviors minimize.

How are things going with Blue and his therapist—um, behaviorist? You are a good parront helping Blue work through his past trauma and destructive tendencies!
