There are all kinds of cages for raising thrush birds, including bamboo, wood, plastic, iron, bronze and ivory. There are plate cages (square cages), barrel cages, vault cages (also known as steamed bread cages), waist drum cages (also known as watermelon cages) and imitation cleaning cages.

What kind of cage is suitable for feeding thrush is determined by bird people's love on the one hand and practicality on the other. From a practical point of view, plate cage culture is suitable for raising nest chicks, and vault cage culture is suitable for raising healthy birds. Because birds love to collide, the top of the vault cage protrudes into a semicircle without dead ends, so it is not easy to hurt the top and forehead of birds. Other shapes of cages are suitable for raising well-trained birds, but of course they are not absolute.
