What kind/ size of cage should a Quaker have?
Most agree, that 18x18x24 is minimum. This space barely allows your Quaker full range of motion, along with a perch, and a toy. The bar spacing should be no less than 1/2″, and no greater than 5/8″. Your Quaker, with proper care, will live 20-30 years. This space would be comparable to you spending your life in an 8×10. Provide your Quaker with as much space as you have, and can afford. Within the cage, should be several perches, and toys. The perches should vary in size, and shape for the health of your fid’s feet. The toys should vary in size, and shape, for health of body, and mind. Moving, and changing toys, and perches will keep your Quaker from boredom. Boredom can cause serious health issues, such as, feather plucking, and self mutilation.
