- Hahn's Macaw - Solo
Hi,
This weekend I purchased a Hahns Macaw from a local pet shop, but the cage they supplied seems very small to me - it is roughly 16" x 24" x 24".
I desperately want to get a different cage for Solo, but this being my first bird I am not entirely sure how much room would be recommended for him?
I have read that the minimum cage size would be something like 24" x 24" x 24", but I find this hard to believe watching him climb around his cage. He definitely wants more room, and I am inclined to give him it.
I have read a lot about the bar spacing, and everywhere says that 5/8"-3/4" is the most you should go. A lot of the cages that I see suggested as suitable for small macaws are around 1" however, and I am struggling to find a nice cage that will give him enough room to move around, but not put him at risk due to the bar spacing.
Does anyone have any recommendations of cages/suppliers who will deliver in the UK? I am looking around the £200 range.
