I buy the biggest size petco or petsmart offers and then just cut a slit all the way down the length and put them on the perch, works pretty well.

I found, on ordering these cages, that the measurements belie the capacity to use them for budgies. They might be suitable for finches, but they're simply way too small for budgies to nest comfortably. On top of that, one of these cages arrived with an ill-fitted top grate. After much frustration with these cheaply-made cages I gave them (literally gave them) away to someone with finches because I couldn't stand having them around. A few months ago I purchased two 'Prevue Pet Products F075' cages and they're much sturdier, have more space, and are *much* easier to clean. They're pricier, but I've never had a nicer breeder stack and plan to purchase two more within the next six months.

Might be a little small diameter on the perch. But if they make a larger one it would be great. I grew up with a grey, awesome birds.

the wooden dowels on the ladders and perches are pretty easy to replace and i'm sure with a macaw you will be doing plenty of it. for a macaw i would look at the larger jave wood play stands. the ones that look like a tree. they are a little more pricey but i think you and your bird will be happier

Go to the hardware and buy a can of Krylon spray paint for PLASTIC...i would recommentd only spray painting the outside..not the interior...might be unhealthy for the birds

I have a plug in heated perch for my parrot. He loves it and is on it all the time! Makes me feel bad I didn't find it sooner. They have all different sizes. K&H Thermo Perch, Small

Finding a cover that works is the biggest P.I.T.A. I bought one that was close and kinda rolled the top up a bit. You can but one from the same company that will fit but it is not cheap.

Yes, we have an African Grey and the size is ideal. However, the perch is made of a soft wood rather than manzanita and our bird has certainly "whittled" that down.

We have an African Grey. It's certainly large enough but I would not recommend it. The perch is soft wood and the pan is "warped". It seems very cheaply made.

I have been making mine. Find an oak tree branch 2 inches or so. This is betterFor the birds feet.

We use ours for Mr. Utley, an African Grey. He travels to the beach most days in it. We had a friend modify the perch as the wooden dowel that comes with it is too small for his talons.

Prevue usually has a suggested cover along with the cages they sell online. You would need to remove this cover during the day so your bird could access the playtop, and the edges of the front would probably flare open, leaving your bird(s) vulnerable to drafts during the night. I would agree with Sunny about contacting Prevue to see what their recommendation is.

It appears from the web photos I see that a Quaker is somewhere between a Sun Conure and an Amazon sized parrot. I have purchased MEDIUM perches for both my Amazon and African Grey parrots with success. The problem has been that the perch separates after about a year between the grey plastic portion and the metal fastener that secures it to the cage bars. Save your receipts! There's no guarantee, but the weight and activity of the bird may cause it to separate and there's no recourse but to buy a new one or appeal to the generosity of the seller. I've been lucky in that the seller's been gracious enough to replace them twice without difficulty (apparently this is a common problem). The larger size I've used for my macaw and it's been a REAL problem for that size bird..... none of them are destructive when it comes to perches, and they REALLY like the perches in summer and winter (esp) so it's a great plus for any bird, as evidenced by their use of this warmer perch!!

This Midwest playpen includes ONE perch cover. I purchased a set of three here at Amazon from Eternity Essentials. Type this in the AMAZON search , '' Cat Playpen Plus Pet Bed 21" x 10.5" (3 Pack)" It is cheaper to order the set of three rather than purchase separately. I paid $37.29 plus $8.99 shipping. They are cushioned the same as the one that is included with the playpen. They also shipped very fast.

I made my own from 1/4" stainless steel threaded rods, wingnuts, and plywood. The two models I purchased were garbage, so I returned them for a refund. You may contact my for a simple design.

I'd like to know where everyone else got their poles from, because it didn't fit any of mine. Off to the pool store tomorrow to try and fine a new one that will fit. Very inconvenient!
