If you want to become owned by a macaw, you'll need to provide a macaw cage for your parrot to call home. Every parrot, regardless of species, needs a cage as a safe place to sleep, providing less area to guard during the darkness. The cage also provides parrots a safe haven when you must be away from the house so they do not get into danger. This is especially true of big parrots like macaws. Cages are where the parrot will go to locate food, to play, and frequently to nap. When you are home to supervise, the door can be opened and the parrot will go into its cage when it isn't in a playful mood, coming out when it wants to interact with people.
Macaw cages are study parrot cages with large diameter bars that are widely spaced compared to cages for smaller species. Even the small Hahn's Macaw has a beak and head large enough to easily be safe with bars spaced 1 inch apart. Your goal is to select a cage that does not permit the parrot to stick its head through the bars and become trapped or to trap its wings in the bars. The bar diameter must be large enough that the parrot can not break the bars loose at the weld point, ruining the cage's structure.

Often, you'll see macaw cages that are round in shape. While some people like this shape cage, others find it particularly difficult to properly secure perches, dishes, and bottom tray coverings and you might want to consider a rectangular or square shape instead. Make certain the macaw cage is tall enough for the long tail feathers to have plenty of room so they will not become ragged as the parrot climbs up and down inside the cage. It should be sufficiently wide that the wings of the bird can be fully extended without touching either side of the cage, as a bare minimum. When purchasing cages, for macaws or any species, buy the largest quality cage you can afford. Bigger really is better when it comes to cages for macaws and other parrots.
There should be a large opening in the cage for the macaw to enter and exit the cage. Macaws, even the smaller species, are big parrots and they will not be happy coming and going through a cramped opening. Many macaw cages have a large door to allow access and a smaller door inside this door for access to food and water containers. A good cage choice is one that has food and water door openings, and the more access doors, the better, because you'll want a place to serve fresh fruits and vegetables, treats and other human foods.
Powder coated macaw cages provide long years of wear. Stainless steel cages are another good choice. Most painted cages can be damaged by the strong macaw beak over time. Because macaw cages are a hefty investment, you want to spend your dollars wisely so you will not need to replace the cage soon.
