Round cages were originally started on a tea tables and made out of walnut, and used as decoration, then used for canaries etc. It wasn't until around 1853 an actual family started manufacturing them and selling bird cages. In 1876 the world had its first bird cage trade show.
Now you have to understand that back then, they hadn't started doing the science of aviculture, and even really paying attention to what made a parrot tick. Most of the time, parrots and other birds were used as center pieces, and just decoration. Can you imagine, just being thrown seeds and used a center piece. I can only imagine how many parrots, and birds were angry, and hated their owners.
The reason that I bring up round cages, is.... ROUND CAGES ARE BAD for birds. Birds need to feel a sense of security, and corners, heights, for them to find their secure places. A round cage does not give them a sense of going anywhere, and actually makes them incredibly anxious. If any animal is anxious enough, for a long enough period of time, they become damaged, and have trust issues. Not to mention agression, and constant need to escape.
So, the bottom line is, stay away from round cages!!
