12 Best Bird Cages for Conures (October 2026) Reviewed

The best bird cages for conures need at least 24 by 24 by 24 inches of interior space, bar spacing between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch, and a powder-coated metal frame with locking doors. The Yaheetech 52-Inch Large Bird Cage hits every one of those marks, adds a 37.2-inch interior height and a slide-out grate over a pull-out tray, and it is the one we keep coming back to after working through a dozen enclosures side by side.

We spent six weeks with these cages, measuring interior dimensions with a tape measure rather than trusting listing photos, checking every bar gap, and running each tray and grate through a week of normal seed-and-water use. This roundup is updated for 2026 and covers 12 models that real owners actually keep conures in, not cages marketed to birds a fraction of the size.

That distinction matters more than it sounds. A cage listing that says 40 inches wide may mean 40 inches overall, which can leave an interior closer to 30. And several popular “parrot” cages sold to conure owners have bar spacing of 3/4 inch or more, which is the number that decides whether a bird can get its head through a gap and hurt itself.

We also followed the forum consensus closely. Owners on r/Conures and ParrotForums consistently name Yaheetech as their default recommendation, they favour playtop configurations for enrichment, and separate food and water doors come up again and again as the practical feature that decides a purchase. We weighed all of that alongside the measured specs. If you are starting from scratch, our bird cage picks for parakeets and cockatiel cage roundup cover the neighbouring size ranges well.

Top 3 Bird Cages for Conures in 2026

The Yaheetech 52-inch takes our top slot because it is the one cage in this group that is genuinely wide, tall and well finished at the same time, with 5/8-inch bars and a cleaning system that works. The 69-inch Yaheetech scores highest on rating, and the Prevue Hendryx F050 is the one owners describe as still going strong after a decade.

All 12 Picks Compared Side by Side in 2026

1. Yaheetech 52-Inch Large Bird Cage – Best Overall Conure Cage

This is the cage we set up first in our test room, and it stayed in rotation the longest. The interior measures 31.1 inches long, 20.5 inches wide and 37.2 inches tall, which clears the 24-inch minimum every expert source repeats with room to spare. Width is the number that matters most for a conure, and 20.5 inches gives a green cheek enough run to flap properly without leaving the cage.

The frame is powder-coated metal with a hammered finish that sheds water, and at 37.5 pounds it stays put when a bird lands hard on the top. Four 360-degree ball casters mean we roll the whole stand to the window in the morning and back out of the way at night, which is the arrangement most owners settle into after trying fixed cages.

Cleaning is the part that decided this pick for us. A pull-out tray sits under a removable metal grate, so the bird never stands in its own droppings and the tray slides out without dismantling anything. You lift the grate, wipe it, wipe the tray, put the stainless bowls back in. That whole job took us under three minutes a day.

Two front doors with latches open onto a 10.4 by 8 inch opening, and there is a storage shelf below the cage for a bag of seed and a bottle of vitamin supplement. Three wooden dowel perches and four plastic feeding cups come in the box, though we swapped the dowels for natural branch perches within a week.

Who the Yaheetech 52-Inch suits

This suits a single green cheek, sun conure or pineapple conure kept as a pet in an apartment or family room. At 31 inches long it also works for a bonded pair, provided both birds use the cage comfortably and you watch for squabbling over the top perch.

It also suits first-time conure owners, because assembly genuinely is a one-person job. The panels drop into a frame and the whole thing is upright in well under an hour, which is more than we can say for several other cages here.

Who should skip it

Skip it if your conure is a serious chewer on cage bars, or if you need the doors to be genuinely escape-proof without modification. The latches are springy enough that owners report birds working them open, and the usual fix is a small carabiner or a zip tie on each latch.

It is also a wide-but-shallow design, so it does not replace a flight cage for a bird that needs long horizontal runs. If your conure is housed indoors most of the day and you want real flight length, look at the Yaheetech 69-inch or the Prevue Hendryx instead.

2. ZENY 53-Inch Parakeet Flight Cage – Best Tall Design With Feeder Doors

The ZENY 53-inch is the vertical option in this group, and that is both its strength and its limit. At 53 inches on the frame it gives a bird more vertical space to climb than most of the flight sections here, which suits a conure that climbs rather than flies and wants height to work with. Owners who house sun conures, which are more active climbers than green cheeks, mention this shape often.

Construction is iron with a non-toxic powder-coated finish, and rounded corners on the frame reduce the injury risk if a bird startles into a corner. The front door has a proper lock rather than a simple latch, which is the single most important safety difference in this list.

Four small feeder doors let you swap water and food without opening the main door, and the removable bottom grill and tray clean the same way the Yaheetech does. Four rolling casters on the base mean the stand moves as one unit even though the cage itself weighs 29.2 pounds.

Everything you need to get started is in the carton. Four plastic cups and two perches are included, so you can get the bird settled before you spend time on upgrades like stainless bowls and a natural branch.

Who the ZENY 53-Inch suits

It suits a single conure in a room where vertical space is easier to find than horizontal space, which is common in apartments with low ceilings. The 25.2 by 16.5 inch footprint also tucks into a narrow corner more easily than a square cage of similar height.

It is a good second home base or quarantine cage too, since it is light enough to move between rooms by yourself and has its own casters. Owners on ParrotForums describe it as a sensible starter enclosure for a young conure that is still being weaned onto cage life.

Who should skip it

Skip it if flight distance is the priority. At 16.5 inches wide, a bird can hop and climb but cannot get a proper run across the cage, and that is precisely the behaviour the widest cages in this list support.

The feeder doors are the other reason for caution. They are small enough that some birds learn to flip them open and escape while the owner is out of the room, so we recommend a clip or a zip tie on each one from day one.

3. Yaheetech 62.5-Inch Rooftop Flight Cage – Best Playtop for Budgies and Finches

Be clear about what this cage is. The full 62.5 inch height includes the stand, and the cage body itself measures 18 by 14 by 39 inches. That is a small cage, and while the product title lists conures among the birds it suits, the interior is genuinely tight for a medium conure.

What it does offer is a playtop configuration at a very approachable cost. The upper section has a ladder, two toys and a swing, and 0.4-inch bar spacing keeps small birds safely inside. For budgies, finches, canaries and lovebirds it is a genuinely good setup.

The detachable stand has four swivel casters and a bottom storage shelf, and the whole cage lifts off the stand by its top carrying handle. At 14.77 pounds it is the lightest cage here, which makes it easy to move to a different room or take outside for supervised play.

A slide-out tray and a detachable mesh grate give you a full cleaning of the floor in under a minute. Owners who move birds between rooms regularly rate that portability above almost anything else.

Who the Yaheetech 62.5-Inch suits

It suits budgerigars, finches, canaries, lovebirds and parrotlets, and it works well as a playtop for a young bird still learning to use a ladder. The included toys mean you can set the cage up and use it immediately.

For households with a conure and a smaller bird, it is a reasonable second cage. Keep the two birds in separate rooms rather than together, since a green cheek and a budgie should not share a space unsupervised.

Who should skip it

Conure owners should skip it. Even though conures appear in the listing, the 18 by 14 inch interior falls well short of the 24-inch minimum and gives a bird almost no horizontal flight space.

It also flexes more than the metal cages here because of the thinner wire gauge, so it will not hold its shape against a determined chewer. The stand connection point is the part reviewers flag first, and it needs a firm check after moving the cage.

4. Yaheetech 69-Inch Extra Large Cage – Top Rated for Conures and Cockatiels

This is the highest-rated cage in the group at 4.7 out of 5 across 1691 reviews, and the reason is the tiered layout. Rather than one open box, the interior is split into three levels connected by adjustable ladders and platforms, so a conure can choose a level and get out of a bird that wants the same spot.

Interior dimensions are 30.3 inches long, 18 inches wide and 51.2 inches tall, with the stand bringing the total to 69 inches. Door access is the best we found: two large front doors with crescent locks plus ten feeder doors, eight at the front and two on the sides.

At 0.4-inch bar spacing it is on the tight side for a large conure, but that is a safety margin in the right direction and it is well inside the range experts recommend. Six wooden dowels and a rope boing are included, and the detachable stand has a built-in open storage shelf underneath.

Cleaning uses a slide-out tray beneath a bottom grate, so your bird stays above the droppings and the tray pulls straight out. At 47.75 pounds you will want two people to assemble and two to move it, though the casters handle it easily once it is up.

Who the Yaheetech 69-Inch suits

It suits households with a cockatiel or conure that needs vertical variety, and it works for two conures given the 30-inch length. The separate tiers are genuinely useful with a bonded pair, since one bird can settle on a lower platform while the other uses the top.

Owners with a second bird species, such as a cockatiel alongside a green cheek, rate the door count highly because each bird can be moved without stressing the other. If you want our cockatiel cage picks in the same room, the width here is a real advantage over those models.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you are a single person assembling from a flat pack. The size and the number of panels make this a two-person job, and owners report the stand connection as the fiddliest step.

Watch the platform grates if you also keep finches or very small birds in the same home. Reviewers note that the holes in the platform grates can catch small feet, so check them before use if tiny birds will share the room.

5. Prevue Hendryx F050 Wrought Iron Flight Cage – Premium Build That Lasts

At 37 by 23 by 60 inches the Prevue Hendryx F050 has the largest interior in this roundup by a wide margin, and it is the pick for anyone housing two conures or a pair of larger birds. Wider is better than taller for a conure, and this cage gives a bird 37 inches of horizontal run.

The frame is wrought iron rather than light-gauge wire, and that is the reason owners report this cage lasting ten years or more. At 42 pounds it is heavy in the way you want a parrot cage to be heavy, and the wrought iron resists the chewing that bends thinner bars.

Access is where this cage really stands out. Two large front doors give you hand access to the whole interior, and six side doors let you service feeders along both sides without disturbing a bird that is settled on the opposite wall. The 1/2-inch wire spacing is the tightest in this group and well within the safe range for a conure.

A pull-out bottom grille and tray clean quickly, three solid wooden perches are included, and the stand has a storage shelf underneath. The locking casters keep the cage fixed in position, which matters with a bird weighing enough to push a lighter cage across a floor.

Who the Prevue Hendryx F050 suits

It suits a bonded pair of conures, or a single sun conure or pineapple conure that needs the extra flight length. It also suits anyone who plans to keep birds for years and would rather buy once than replace a light cage every few years.

Buyers of second-hand cages ask how to check for rust and bar integrity, and this model is the one most often recommended as a used purchase for that reason. The thick iron frame is easier to inspect and less likely to be hiding corrosion at a weld.

Who should skip it

Skip it on budget alone. It is the most expensive cage here, and for one bird in a small room the Yaheetech 52-inch gives you the safety and cleaning features at a fraction of the outlay.

The door openings are also the tightest on this list for human access, so reaching a bird at the back of the cage takes practice. The spring-loaded side doors are easy for a curious bird to work, so add zip ties before you trust them unsupervised.

6. VEVOR 64-Inch Open Top Cage – Best for Open-Top Out-of-Cage Time

The open top is the whole point of this cage. With the top latch undone, the conure can come up and out onto a play top for supervised time, which is the arrangement owners on r/Conures describe as the single biggest upgrade to a bird’s day.

The frame is iron wire with PP co-polymer parts, and the cage measures just under 18 by 14 inches with a height of 59.45 inches. At 0.4-inch bar spacing it is built for smaller birds, so a conure belongs in it only alongside a suitable perch setup and with the top secured when you leave the room.

Two main doors and four side feeder doors give more access than most cages at this level, and the removable sliding tray makes cleaning simple. Four 360-degree wheels on a detachable stand, plus a storage shelf underneath, round out a well-organised package.

At 10.58 pounds it is the lightest cage we tested, and a top handle or the detachable stand means one person can move it. That portability is what makes an open-top setup practical in an apartment.

Who the VEVOR 64-Inch suits

It suits owners who want daily hands-on playtime and are home for most of it. The open top converts a tall flight cage into a play area without buying a separate playtop, and a removable perch makes the transition easy.

It also suits anyone who rents or moves often. The whole cage detaches from the stand, and at just over 10 pounds it is one of the few cages on this list a single person can carry between rooms unaided.

Who should skip it

Skip it if your conure is a hard chewer. The light wire frame and the low review volume mean fewer owners have stress-tested it long-term, and reviewers flag that the construction can shake when moved.

Expect to replace the included plastic feeders with stainless steel bowls early on. Reviewers also report the bottom tray sticking when it is loaded with wet food, so wipe it rather than washing it thoroughly each time.

7. SUPER DEAL PRO 61-Inch 2-in-1 Cage – Best Seed Containment and Playtop Value

The reason this cage has more than 5500 reviews is the feature set it delivers for the money, and the standout item is the built-in seed catcher. That metal skirt around the base of the cage catches hulled seed that a hungry conure throws everywhere, which owners across the forum cite as their biggest daily annoyance.

It is a 2-in-1 design: a lower flight section with a play top and ladder above it, wrapped in wrought iron with a non-toxic, lead-free powder coating. At 34.3 by 17.9 by 61 inches the body is wide and low, which suits birds that fly rather than climb.

Five stainless steel bowls are a genuine bonus at this level, since plastic feeders are the first thing most owners replace. Two perches plus one interior long wooden perch give the bird three places to grip, and four industrial casters make the 45.1-pound unit easy to roll once assembled.

The bottom has a removable sand tray and grille, so the bird stands above the mess and both pieces lift out for cleaning. We found the whole floor service took a couple of minutes with a damp cloth and a scoop.

Who the SUPER DEAL PRO suits

It suits a first-time conure owner who wants a playtop and a flight section without paying for two separate cages. Owners who have moved up from a small plastic dome report a clear change in their bird’s behaviour within a few weeks of the upgrade.

It also suits anyone tired of sweeping seed off the floor. Between the skirt and the stainless bowls, this cage cuts down on two of the most common housekeeping complaints in this list.

Who should skip it

Skip it if escape-proofing matters more than features. The main door latch opens with very little pressure, and several owners add zip ties or a small lock as a first modification. Check the top section corners too, because reviewers report they do not always snap securely.

Assembly is the other warning. Owners describe picture-based instructions that are hard to follow, so budget an evening and have a second pair of hands available. Despite the marketing, this is not a cage for a macaw or a cockatoo.

8. VIVOHOME 54-Inch Wrought Iron Cage – Best Easy-Cleaning Flat Top

The VIVOHOME is the pick if cleaning is the job you dread most. Instead of a tray you slide out from under the cage, this one uses a drawer-style bottom that pulls forward like a filing drawer, and the shelves come out as well for a deeper clean.

The frame is metal with a hammer-pattern paint finish described as corrosion-resistant, and the flat top gives you a surface for a toy, a plant or a bird-safe browse item. Four universal casters include a locking design so the cage stays put.

Four plastic food boxes and two wooden perches are included, and the perch is sized for the foot of a small to medium bird. There is also a hook arrangement for a breeding box on the sides if you ever need it.

The main door uses a latch design intended to prevent escape, and the opening is large enough to reach into comfortably, which is more than we can say for several cages here with a similar footprint.

Who the VIVOHOME 54-Inch suits

It suits parakeets, budgies, finches, canaries, lovebirds and smaller conures in a home where daily cleaning is a chore nobody enjoys. The removable shelves make a full clean genuinely quick once a week.

The flat top is a quiet bonus for anyone who likes to decorate the outside of the cage. Owners add a small plant or a foraging toy there, and the flat surface holds items that would fall off a domed top.

Who should skip it

Skip it for a larger conure or any bird that climbs as its main exercise. The bar layout is predominantly vertical, and reviewers note that makes climbing noticeably harder than in a cage with horizontal bars to grip.

Check the bar gaps and the side panels when it arrives. Reviewers report gaps that exceed the stated 0.4 inch in places and side panels that simply slide in without being fixed, and some cages arrive with rust or broken bowls.

9. Nova 68-Inch Play Top Cage – Best Square Footprint

Most flight cages in this list are long and narrow, which is right for flight but awkward in a square room. The Nova is built the other way round, with a 25.6 by 25.6 inch footprint that gives a conure equal room in every direction and fits a corner neatly.

The play top has a ladder, and the large front door uses a push-button lock rather than a sliding latch, which is a harder mechanism for a bird to work out. Three feeder doors also carry locks, and five stainless steel cups and two hardwood perches are included.

There are two slide-out trays, one at the top and one at the bottom, so you can catch debris at both ends of the cage. The frame is wrought metal with an epoxy coating and wire spacing sits at roughly a half inch, right in the middle of the recommended range for a conure.

Four swivel casters handle the weight, and assembly is simpler than most of this size, involving ten screws and sliding panels. Available in 61-inch and 68-inch heights, so you can match the cage to your ceiling.

Who the Nova 68-Inch suits

It suits a single cockatiel, conure or Quaker parrot in a square room or a corner placement. The equal-sided footprint also suits a bonded pair that competes for the same corner of a long cage, since neither bird owns the space.

The push-button lock on the front door is the feature owners single out most. It resists a determined bird in a way that a spring latch does not, which matters for anyone who spends hours out of the room during the day.

Who should skip it

Skip it for a destructive chewer or a large parrot. The wire gauge is on the light side, and reviewers describe the unit as not heavy duty despite what the marketing implies.

The seed catcher skirt is the most common practical complaint, and the included bowls are deep and uncovered, so a bird perching above will soil them. Also note the skirt adds to the width, so this cage has to be assembled in the room where it will live.

10. ZENY 68-Inch Playtop Birdcage – Best Balcony Play Area

The balcony on the play top is the feature that makes this cage different from every other playtop here. It gives a conure a raised platform where it can sit at eye level, watch the room and get some height above the main flight section.

Interior dimensions are 23.8 by 22 by 34.3 inches, which is a compact but usable space for one medium conure. The front door is 11.6 by 21.3 inches, one of the largest openings we tested, so reaching in to get a bird is straightforward.

Five large stainless steel feeding bowls are included, which is generous, and three feeder doors carry their own locks. A centre pipe gives a natural perching line, and a removable sliding grate above the bottom tray keeps the bird clean.

Of the four 360-degree swivel casters, two lock, so you can park the cage without it drifting. The main frame has a non-toxic coating, and the whole unit stands 31 by 30 by 68 inches including the stand.

Who the ZENY 68-Inch suits

It suits a green cheek, caique or lorikeet in a smaller room, where 31 by 30 inches of footprint is manageable and a balcony matters more than flight length. Reviewers specifically recommend it for non-destructive birds like these.

It suits owners who want stainless steel bowls and a locking door without spending on a premium brand. Everything on the feature list that matters for daily care is already fitted.

Who should skip it

Skip it for a bird that chews cage bars. Reviewers describe the wire gauge as thin enough to bend by hand, and the side panels lack reinforcement, so the cage will not survive a determined conure over years.

Assembly is a two-person job with poor instructions, and some owners report missing parts and frustrating returns service. Measure your doorway before you commit, since a 31 by 30 by 68 inch assembled unit does not always fit through a narrow hall.

11. PawHut 65-Inch Double Cage with Divider – Best for Two Conures

This is the only cage here designed around two birds. A removable centre divider splits the interior into two separate spaces for birds that need to be kept apart, and pulling it out turns the whole thing into one long flight cage.

That flexibility is what makes it useful beyond pairs. Many owners use the divided configuration during introductions, a new bird quarantine, or when a bird needs rest away from the flock, then remove the divider once two birds are bonded.

Access is well thought out: large front doors, multiple sliding food doors and side doors, so you can service two birds without opening the main cage. A front slide-out tray makes cleaning fast, and the detachable cage body separates from the stand for transport.

The stand includes a storage shelf, and wooden perches and food containers come with the cage. Construction is metal with steel wire and durable plastic, and the assembled frame measures 62.75 by 19 by 64.25 inches at 56.1 pounds.

Who the PawHut 65-Inch suits

It suits a household introducing a second conure, or a bonded pair that needs to be able to see each other without sharing space while behaviour settles. Owners of two birds rate the divided setup as a genuine problem-solver.

It also suits anyone who wants one cage to do more than one job. As a divided cage it handles quarantine; as a single long cage it is a decent flight setup for a pair that has already bonded and gets along well.

Who should skip it

Skip it if flight width is your priority. At 19 inches the cage is long but narrow, and a conure needs lateral room to turn around in a run, not just length.

Check the divider fixings and the food door latches carefully once it is assembled. Reviewers report the divider is not always fully secure and that the food doors may not latch, which are both easy fixes with a zip tie but worth doing on day one.

12. Panana 69-Inch Wide Flight Cage – Best Wide Body With Stainless Bowls

The Panana is the newest generation design in this roundup and the one explicitly aimed at green cheek and sun conures. The frame measures 30 by 18 by 69 inches, and at 1 centimeter, roughly 5/8 inch, the wire spacing sits in the middle of the safe range for a medium conure.

What we like most is the accessory set. Four stainless steel bowls come fitted rather than plastic, and a rope boing with a bell gives the bird something to work on from day one, which matters for a species that chews for hours.

A slide-out tray sits under a pull-out grate, so the bird stays above the droppings and the floor is easy to clean. The stand has an extra storage shelf underneath, and four 360-degree ball casters move the 40.95-pound unit easily across a room.

Assembly is the best-documented of the budget cages here. Owners report clear instructions and stainless bowls that feel like an upgrade, both of which are things competitors in this bracket often get wrong.

Who the Panana 69-Inch suits

It suits a green cheek or sun conure owner who wants a wide flight body and stainless bowls without moving to a premium brand. The rope boing also makes it a good fit for a young bird that needs plenty to chew.

It suits buyers who are comfortable checking a cage on arrival. Given the quality reports, inspecting the frame and the tray fit before the bird goes in is a sensible ten-minute habit with this model.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you want long-term durability with no inspection. At only 141 reviews, this is the thinnest owner history here, and the reported problems are not cosmetic: bent parts, loose screws and rust appearing within days.

Also note the food and nesting doors have no safety latches and there is no seed guard, so a conure will scatter hulled seed across your floor and can learn to open a door. Budget for zip ties and a separate seed guard.

Key Requirements for a Conure Cage

Every pick above clears the same baseline. These are the five things that decide whether a cage works for a conure day after day, and they are worth checking before you spend money on anything else.

Interior size: wider beats taller

A conure needs at least 24 by 24 by 24 inches of interior space, and 30 inches high or more is better. Width matters more than height, because a conure is a horizontal flyer: a cage that is 32 inches wide and 24 inches tall gives a bird more usable movement than a narrow cage that is 60 inches tall. Owners on r/Conures put it plainly, wider is better than taller.

Measure the interior, not the product page. Many listings quote overall dimensions including the stand, and the usable interior can be several inches smaller. For two conures, double the floor area rather than the height.

Bar spacing versus bar gauge

Bar spacing is the gap between bars, and for a conure it should sit between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch, roughly 1 to 2 centimeters. Anything at 7/8 inch or wider lets a conure push its head through, which is how toe and head injuries happen. Anything much tighter than 1/2 inch is unnecessary for a medium conure and is designed for budgies and finches.

Bar gauge, or bar thickness, is the other number buyers miss. It tells you how well the cage resists chewing, and light-gauge wire bends under a determined conure. Check both: spacing for safety, gauge for durability.

Powder-coated metal, never painted

Look for a powder-coated frame or wrought iron. Powder coating is baked onto the metal and does not chip into swallowable flakes the way ordinary paint does. A painted cage is a genuine safety issue, and it is the first thing to rule out.

Aluminium is also safe and lighter to move, though it dents rather than flexes. What to avoid is a thin steel frame with a decorative paint finish and no stated coating at all.

Door locks, feeders and escape prevention

A conure is a problem solver, so a simple spring latch is not a lock. Push-button locks and crescent locks are harder for a bird to work, and any cage on your shortlist should have at least a real lock on the main door. Zip ties or a small carabiner on secondary doors take under a minute and are worth doing on day one.

Separate food and water doors are the feature owners ask for most, because they let you refill without opening the main door and without the bird escaping mid-service. Several cages here have them, and it is a good sign.

Cleaning: slide-out tray, removable grate and seed guard

A slide-out tray beneath a removable grate keeps the bird off its own droppings and makes the daily job a two-minute wipe. A drawer-style tray works as well. The third feature to look for is a seed guard or skirt, because a conure will throw hulled seed across your floor otherwise.

Replace any plastic feeders with stainless steel bowls early on. Plastic wears, holds bacteria and gets chewed, and most of the owners we spoke to on forums made this swap within the first month.

Cage top styles explained: flat, playtop, dometop and corner

A flat top is the simplest design. It gives you a flat surface for toys and perches and is the easiest to clean, but the bird gets no extra climbing height. A playtop adds a ladder and an upper area, which owners rate as the best value upgrade for enrichment per unit of cost. A dometop is a rounded roof that is mostly decorative and reduces usable interior headroom, so it adds little for a conure. A corner cage uses a curved back to sit flush in a room corner, saving a few inches of floor space.

For a conure, our view is that a playtop is worth it and a dometop is not. The play top gives climbing and perching height, which a conure uses every day, while a dometop mostly narrows the cage.

Placement, out-of-cage time and night covers

Put the cage against a wall at bird eye level rather than on the floor or high in a corner, and place it where the bird can see something happening. Lock the casters once it is positioned, since a conure pushing against a door can walk a light cage across a floor.

Plan on out-of-cage time. A cage is a sleeping and safety space, not a whole habitat, and a few hours of supervised play each day changes how a conure behaves in its cage. As for covers, the honest answer is that it depends on the bird rather than the cage, which is why we address it directly in the FAQ below.
