Take into consideration the ease of cleaning as well. A high quality cage is a better investment in the long run. The cage should be equipped with two food containers and a water bottle. Water from a bottle remains cleaner than an open container of water. Perches of varying sizes are a much needed accessory.
Tree branches make great natural perches.
Concrete perches should not be used exclusively, because they can cause the joints to become stiff and the feet to become sore. Ropes are suggested for sleeping as long as they do not become frayed. Water bottles and dishes need to be cleaned with hot, soapy water and thoroughly rinsed and refilled each day. Also, fresh fruits such as apples, pomegranates, grapes, oranges, bananas, cherries, peaches, coconut, pineapple, and other various fruits should be fed each day. Vegetables should also be fed on a daily basis.
