Parrots are wonderful creatures with their stunningly beautiful colors, super intellect, and their show-stopping ability to speak words and imitate sounds. If you are considering adopting a Parrot here are brief descriptions of eight types. Most have considerable life spans, so knowing what to expect will go a long way towards helping you choose once and well.
African Greys are medium size birds that are grey and sometimes have a red tail and or red wings. Many speak using a large vocabulary of words, and imitate sounds they hear, but there is no guarantee that every Grey, and more specifically, your Grey will speak. Buying the bird for this feature is not a good idea. They can be very loud, and sometimes even scream. They are demanding in terms of the human attention they need, but will more than reward your attention with love and loyalty.
Cockatiels are gentle natured birds that are generally less expensive than most other parrots. They are a great choice for a first time bird owner because they are non-aggressive and adapt very easily to their humans particularly if they have been weaned, hand fed, and adopted when very young.

Is it big enough?
There is a cage exactly the same, only it has a dome top that opens up and you can make it into a perch. Would that be better?
Well, what do you propose I do when I am gone or at night? I am getting a HUGE playstand, but I need a cage for when I can’t supervise my MINI macaw.
My school recently adopted out a severe macaw and it was in a cage that is slightly bigger than that. It also featured a dome top to allow more space to move and hang toys and such. Something like this would work well…

As with all companion parrots, its always wise to get the largest cage you can afford. Mini macaws like the severe still have activity level and space requirments as the large macaws, probably more. Go with a larger, dome top cage with the approprate bar space (1 inch)
But if you wish to keep a severe in that cage, its perfectly fine as long as bar spacing is ok. Good luck!
Improv Track/Timelapse from “The Caged Bird Sings” 24 Hour Music Performance
“The Caged Bird Sings”
6 Musicians. 24 Hours. ONE Vibration.
“The Caged Bird Sings” is a multimedia performance, 24-hour musical improvisation, and 3-week exhibition beginning on Friday January 29th at 7:30pm. It will take place at Alfa-Art Gallery in New Brunswick, New Jersey in celebration of the gallery’s 2nd year Anniversary.
The project was conjured up by Michael Durek, an experimental musician from Colonia. He conceived of The Caged Bird Sings in the spirit of Einstein’s realization that “Everything in life is vibration”. A six-celled cage will be constructed inside the gallery. Six musicians, each in their own cell, will remain inside the cage with their instruments and improvise continuously for 24 hours. The music performance will run continuously from 7:30pm on January 29th, to 7:30pm on January 30th. Throughout the performance, live video feeds from within each of the six cells will be broadcast online. The musicians involved will be Robert L. Pepper and Amber Brien of Brooklyn-based experimental music group PAS, Dave Tamura of The Jazz Fakers, Tsubasa Berg, and Durek himself. According to Durek, the 24 hour musical improvisation mirrors the continuous and possibly choice-less vibrational communication that exists between different forms in the universe.
The gallery will also be transformed by six artists. Contributors include Rutgers MFA graduates Anne Percoco, Sarah Granett, Eric Clausen, and Michelle Provenzano, Rutgers BFA student Daniel Pillis, and artist Ian Trask. Each artist will collaborate with a musician and a choreographer to create an interdisciplinary show that will kick off the improvisation on January 29th. Choreographers and dancers will include Laura McComb and Jilliana Richcrick of And Dancers, Nicole Mahncke and Michelle Puskas of The Nikki Manx Dance Project, Carla Menchinella, Emily Pope-Blackman of HoverBound, and Ann Peters. The cage design was influenced strongly by the ideas of artist James Tuite. The cage construction was led by Mercedes Bradley, and aided by Anne Percoco. The exhibition, facilitated by the gallery’s curator Michiko Mull, will run until February 17th. The gallery is located at 108 Church Street, in New Brunswick NJ.

About the Exhibition:
In her Slips series, Michelle Provenzano explores the fleeting and unguarded moments of gestural expression through watercolor, drawing, and sculpture. Her work often memorializes casted shadows, in which the physical manifestation of memory is both interactive and thought-provoking.
Similarly, artist Sarah Granett constructs a nebulous spandex form in which a series of time based interactions offer the contemplation of surface, form and infinity.
In his series entitled, ‘It Came From Beneath the Sea, artist Eric Clausen considers the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, an alternative evolutionary theory which proposes that our ancestors first adapted to life within a partially aquatic atmosphere. These works illustrate our natural environment (the sea), the human ascent to land, and perhaps why humans have never returned.
Artist Ian Trasks primary medium is trash. After noticing the abundance of industrial waste from his work place, Trask set out to liberate and transform his found medium into mesmerizing pieces of sculpture. His installation on view entitled Variable is made out of found and recycled cardboard.
Anne Percocos “Complements of the Hotel Eden” is an interactive sculpture that was inspired by Aldous Huxleys Island, Joseph Cornells bird-themed vitrines, and the artists personal matchbox collection. In addition, the artist will create a delayed video feed of a space projected onto itself, allowing performers and viewers to interact with their past traces and movements.
Daniel Pillis is a verbal and visual artist, whose artistic motivations are fueled by a deeply seated desire to decompress the inner workings of social systems by re-interpreting symbolic devices through the mechanisms of subjective identity. His current work on view exemplifies the relationships between the constraints of time and the creative process.

Is this cage good/big enough for one sun conure?
http://birdcages4less.com/page/B/PROD/Medium_Bird_Cages/PA5737
if it’s not, could you recommend to me another cage that would be good for a sun conure?
I have a cage that is very similar. The size would be great, as will the spacing for the bars. You have to be careful with both areas. Also, the material is more than enough to withstand his playing with the cage itself.
Bigger is better!!! They NEED room to move around and enough room to flap and exercise their wings. Just make sure to keep plenty of toys in there, and change them out on a regular basis. The sun is a smart bird and loves to be stimulated.
On a side note, as this one is so similar, maybe the same we have, you’ll love how it is so easy to clean both the cage and the upper play pen area.
Have fun and enjoy your little friend!

Top Quality Parrot Gymnasiums at ” Affordable ” prices!
The Last Parrot Gym your bird will ever need!
Your parrot gym will be individually hand-crafted and species specifically designed and computer balanced for your particular species (type) of parrot/s.
Made to simulate the twisted vines and branches of the trees found in your parrot’s natural habitat, precisely ridged multidimensional footholds are circumfused and grafted into the base of the tree-top. The branches provide a slight and gentle bounce, and the multidimensional footholds will provide your parrot/s with optimal foot comfort and exercise. The grafted branches are ‘orthopedically designed and precisely ridged’ to ensure an easy grasp, as is shown in the video footage.
No more having your feathered friends standing on damp wooden perches!
Again, the perches on the Rhodesian Elm Tree are not made of natural wood… such as manzanita, which can be quite slippery… java trees, bottlebrush, or grapevine. The wood-grain appearence is created via the three stage molecular process, without the use of any dye, stains, or chemicals, and all materials used are 100% non-toxic.
The branches have been ‘hand-grafted’ into irregularly shaped limbs in order to stimulate the muscles in your parrots’ feet, thereby preventing leg cramping and foot sores, which is a common ailment in captive parrots.
