I purchased a new cage for my severe macaw about a year ago and the seed guards are only 3 inches in width. Since she seems to like to hang on the side of the cage, and of course poops while there, the guard doesn't catch it and we have a mess on the floor. Could you recommend particular cages approx. 20 deep x 24 wide with larger seed guards?
 
thanks! Deb
 
Hi Deb: Thank you for contacting us
 
Unfortunately wider seed guards will only insure that poop will fall farther from the cage. I recommend

Removing the seed guards on the curent cage
Lower cage food dishes to the floor grate - debris will now fall into the tray not outside the cage
Purchase an office chair mat for under the cage to protect the floor
Place a perch on the outside the cage where your bird would like to sit and place a single piece of news paper under that one area. Without the seed guards your bird may choose not to perch 360 degrees and stay on the single perch

Hope that helps Regards Mitch
