How many perches will be good for this size of cage? Is there a rule of thumb for it?

[Burak]

I'm not sure to put how many perches to put in below cage. The picture is taken a while ago.

 

Dimensions of the cage: 80,00cm x 57,50cm x 167,00cm

 

He now has below perches in the cage:

 

2 x 80 cm (one is the one in the picture - the original perch of the cage- the other one is new- natural fig tree)

2 x 57.5 cm (original perches of the cage)

2 x 20 cm (perches from natural wood with stress ropes)

1 x 70 cm (cotton perch - he liked it and started to destroy - I think it will be destroyed before the weekend )

 

I made some more natural fig perches (80 cm and 57.5 cm) but didn't put them in the cage yet, I'll seek your advise. Is there a rule of thumb or some reference you use when you decide putting how many perches to a cage?

 

Sorry for my English as I'm not native.

 

Thanks in advance to everybody!

2 or 3/4 branches is okay. Different thickness, different lengths. Remove any straight wooden dowels that came with the cage. If those that are in the cage are branch like, leave them in. Get 2 or 3 branch type perches from any trees you have outside. Clean them well and put them in different angles in the cage, not straight across. Get old beat up, bent dead branches. Parrots like to go up and down. This is a sample of the branches and how to position them. All different positions and angles and different thicknesses.

Thanks Dave, helped a lot. I'll get rid of original cage perches -replace them with natural ones this weekend.

You made a superb work there, your parrots are so lucky:D
