one of the most important things about parrot cages are the the positioning yet most bird owners do not seem to consider this. Parrots are generally timid birds so you should always purchase a corner parrot cage whenever possible. Not having to constantly turn around to see if or what is behind him or her will make your parrot a much more relaxed and happy bird. If a corner cage is out of the question then one that will push up to a wall is the next best thing. That way at least one side of his home is considered safe by the parrot.
