Cage size debate — what's truly 'big enough'?

Minimum cage sizes for Eclectus vary wildly depending on who you ask. Some people say flight cages are the only ethical option, others say a smaller cage with lots of out-time is fine. What cage do you use and are you happy with it?

So I had this exact problem about a year ago. Let me share what I learned. The key thing is playing music during the day — my bird loves calm acoustic guitar. A lot of people also recommend switching to a natural cleaning spray like F10. My avian vet in Scarborough also suggested checking for boredom from lack of enrichment and mental stimulation which can sometimes be an underlying factor. Good luck — feel free to DM me if you have questions!

Couldn't agree more. This has been my experience as well.

This!! So much this. Saving this post to show my partner.

Yes!! My Coco does this too. Hahn's macaw owners can relate.

I actually disagree with this. In my experience with my African Grey, the opposite was true. But I know every bird is different.
