im getting a African gray in a few weeks whats the best size cage i could go for?? kinda picked one here is the sizes?? -> Suitable for African Greys, Amazons, dwarf Macaws & large conures. Colour Stone - L 61cm x W 66cm x H 154cm (skirt extra 6cm per side) includes 3 feeder bowls, 1 perch and seed catcher. Bar spacing 2cm with drop down door. Play top (as shown with 2 feeder bowls, 2 perches and ladders) dunno if it may be 2 small any ideas im lost
as large as u can afford and have space for!! these birds are exceptionally intelligent and you will need to provide toys and mental & physical stimulation for them to really thrive. you must be prepared to spend time with him/her, when u cant ie your at work/out/busy they must have enough room to move and play. a good way to think of them as Very young children, they know what they want and must be allowed to express it otherwise they will get bored.
African Grays are parrots that can be as intelligent as 4 year old children. They need a huge cage - be ready to drop $ 500 or more on a good cage for him. But beware - he also needs LOTS of toys (toilet paper rolls are a cheap favorite) and lots of things to do! Lots of treats.

Make sure your bird gets lots of love and attention every day. This bird will rip out its feathers if it gets sad (the human equivalent of slicing it's wrists). Give it plenty of things to do and be patient with it. It's like raising a child. So be good to your new buddy=)
This is the SMALLEST cage you can go with for a grey:

That is the same size as the cage I got for my goffin's cockatoo. I was told that she wouldn't need that much space, but she loves it, and uses every inch of it.
Best of luck!
