So that's the first thing you have to remember about a pet bird cage; they need to have enough space. And for a parrot, that usually means a very big cage.
Aside from food trays that are easily reachable inside the bird cage, ideally the cage will also contain a variety of perches and several different toys. Parrots are such intelligent birds that they need a great deal of mental stimulation, and playing with a bird toy will provide some of that.
These toys should be made of wood or rope, rather than plastic, so the parrot can't break them and swallow plastic pieces. Perches should be of varying thicknesses so the bird's toes are exercised by gripping in different ways.
If you follow the recommended practice and let your parrot out of the bird cage every day, you may still want it to be able to find a good perch and a good place for lunch. Some parrot cages come with a perch and bird food trays on top of them, so the bird can have a secure place to sit and eat even when it's not right in the cage.
You can give your parrot a safe refuge if you take care of all these details, and it will have a happier, more secure life.
