Where your Quaker spends most of it's time is a big part of it's life.It's cage has to be it's bedroom, kitchen, livingroom, diningroom, bathroom,ect.So your Quaker should never feel cramped in it's cage! Don't get a small cage because it's more afordable remeber your Quaker is going to spend the rest of it's life in that cage.The cage should be atleast 24" x 24" but a good size is 28" x 28".There is never a cage that is to big because the bigger the better.But watch out for the bar spacing, if you do it could save your Quaker's life.If the bar spacing is to big your Quaker could get it's head stuck in it and can suffer serious injuries sometimes even death.But if the bar spacing is to small he or she won't be able to climb the bars.The bar spacing should be atleast 1/2"but the best is 3/4".

Also a big part of your birds cage is the toys.Quakers can bore themselfs easily just like you and me so there should be atleast 6 toys in your bird's cage.But there shouldn't be so many where your Quaker bumps into them,because that would make your Quaker feel cramped.Your bird should be able to stretch out his wings without hitting any toys,if he or she hits the toys take a few out.Also the toys should be rotated to keep your bird from getting bored.Also if you take some out and introduce it back to them a week later they would treat it like it was "new".Then there's the perches.You should have two or three perches that your bird can sit on.Make sure your birds perches are comfortable because imagine taking a pencil in your hand, grasping it, and holding on for it for the rest of your life!Some perches are wood,some are plastic,some acriylic,some rope,and there is a perch that has magnets that is good for birds with arthritus and is reported to help reduce feather plucking.But whatever your chose is make sure you choose it wisely!
