Before getting a cage, make sure you are getting an appropriate cage size for your parrot. We can assist with the size selection. At minimum, the parrot should be able to fully extend its wings while inside the cage. As well, bar spacing is critical. A cage that has bar spacing wider than the distance between your birds' eyes is too big. Reason: as their eyes are on the side of their head, they will put their head through bars that are wider than their eyes. They will not hit their eyes on bars, which is why that distance dictates safe bar spacing.
Another factor to consider is how destructive your bird is. If you have a bird that does not leave the cage metal alone, and is always chipping off the paint, then you should seriously consider a stainless steel cage. Even though any stainless steel can rust ( but can be easily cleaned up), it is not toxic to parrots.
Also, we are not big fans of playtop cages, Yes, they are convenient for humans, but parrots tend to get aggressive when they are on top of their cage and higher than your eyes. Not immediately, but over time you will notice this aggressiveness grow, so it is best to get a separate playstand that is below your eyelevel for the ideal parrot experience.
