Fitting out a cage
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:22 pm
This is the cage I have for one Indian Ringneck.

I've never had a bird before, so have no experience setting up a cage. I don't know how much space they need versus how closely spaced they need perches to be to be able to get around comfortably, or where to put toys for best access.
I have branches and hardware to make as many perches as I need, I have lots of toys to go in as well, plus I am having fun making my own - a swing, ladder and bungee so far that you can see in the photo. So I can fill the cage to the brim if needed.
I've googled a bit, but the advice is very vague. So I would love some specific advice, or any rules of thumb for spacing/positioning perches that suit a ringneck.
