Quite
simply
try
and
purchase
the
biggest
cage
you
can,
in
the
long
run
it
is
in
the
best
interest
of
your
pet.
For
those
of
you
who
are
struggling
for
space
there
are
nice
corner
ones
on
the
market
as
illustrated
in
the
photograph
on
top
although these do not have the room compared to the traditional square one as in the bottom photo.
Both
the
cages
illustrated
have
a
number
of
key
design
aspects
which
are
very
useful
to
have.
Both
have
trays
which
catch
food
and
your
eclectus
has
no
access
to
waste
or
droppings
as
there
is
a
suspended
wire
mesh
panel
just
above
the
tray.
It
is
best
to
line
the
trays
with
newspaper
which
then
make
cleaning
a
simple
job.
Notice
on
the
bottom
picture
the
tray
is
much
bigger
and
is
exterior
to
the
cage.
This
gives
the
tray
a
far
better
area
in
which
for
food
to
fall
down.
Eclectus
as
in
any
other
parrots
do
shift
through
bowls
with
their
heads
searching
for
their
favourites
and
in
the
process
scatter
food
and
some
of
this
inevitably
goes
through
the
bars.
In
that
respect
the
cage
on
the
bottom
is
far
better
in
keeping
your
floor
clean.
Notice
how
the
bowls
are
also
lower
down
in
the
bottom
cage,
the
lower
these
bowls
are
fitted
as
part
of
the
cage
design
the
better
as
there
is
less
height
for
food
to
be
scattered.
A
high
bowl
system
is
going
to
allow food to be scattered across a wider area.
Both
cages
hold
what
is
called
a
swing
feeder
system.
These
are
bowls
which
are
held
onto
housing
which
enable
you
to
undo
a
clip,
swing
the
housing
round
so
the
bowl
and
contents
face
you
and
the
housing
acts
as
a
door
to
stop
the
bird
coming
through.
This
enables
you
to
remove
the
bowl,
replenish
and
swing
around
again
without
having
to
go
into
the
cage
through
the
main
door.
Ideally
you
want
to
aim
for
a
cage
with
3
or
4
bowls,
the
majority
come
with
two.
Having 3 bowls enables you to use bowls for seed, water and fresh fruit/veg.
Both
the
cages
featured
have
play
gyms
on
the
roof.
This
is
designed
so
that
your
bird
can
spend
time
outside
the
cage
during
the
day.
These
gyms
have
a
perch,
food
bowls
and
again
there
is
a
tray
system
for
ease
of
cleaning.
This
system
enables you to open the main door and your bird can come out on its own accord and climb up to the highest point.
Although
difficult
to
see
there
is
two
types
of
bars
on
the
bottom
cage,
They
are
vertical
on
the
front
and
horizontal
on
the
sides.
Parrots
find
it
a
struggle
to
climb
up
bars
which
are
vertical.
Imagine
yourselves
trying
to
climb
poles
which
are
closely
spaced
apart,
the
same
poles
if
turned
horizontally
enable
you
to
grip
and
climb
like
you
would
a
ladder.
Ensure
that
your
cage
choice
has
some
horizontal
bars
and
your
Eclectus
will
soon
realise
where
these
are
and
will
use
them for its main travel route to the upper reaches of the cages.
If
it’s
a
single
bird
get
it
some
toys,
there
should
be
both
plastic
which
are
non
destructible
and
wooden
ones
which
the
bird
can
shred.
Cardboard
tubes,
natural
wooden
blocks
hung
with
chains
and
hessian
rope
can
all
be
used
to
provide
further
interest.
Please
ensure
any
home
made
toys
are
safe
and
the
bird
cannot
get
its
legs
or
any
other
body
parts
trapped or restricted. If in doubt buy tried and tested toys from pet shops or on-line.
