Width VS Height

Post by Lauren16 »

As the title says, what's better, a thin but tall cage? or a wide but not very high cage? For an IRN with wings clipped.

wide cages are better because they let you bird fly and jump from one perch to another

Tall & Thin

Post by Rolly »

For an IRN with clipped wings,
a Tall and thin cage offers better exercise opportunites
than one which is wide and low.
A tall cage challenges the IRN to use its beak & feet
in climbing up & down the bars and perches.

A cage that's wide & long however,
is better for fully flighted IRNs.
As they fly to and from perches spaced at both ends of the cage.
And at times, will just hover in mid-air.

A 2 ft. Wide X 2ft. Deep X 130 cm. Height
is suitable for your IRN w/ clipped wings.
A Ladder, rope, or swing can be placed inside for the bird
to go down to reach its food & water pots...
and climb up...getting its exercise from the cage design.
