Can i put my bird in a cage?

Can i put my bird in a cage?
Hey, I have a 7 week old yellow naped amazon. I was wondering if i can put him in a cage at 7 weeks old. I am currently handfeeding it.
That's a young bird. Should be okay, but I would put the perch a little low until we know the bird won't sleep fall off of it. Gradually raise it up till it's the highest (safest to the bird) perch in the cage.

Congratulations fellow avian owner
I would start him out is a small cage. I would take the bottom grate out as well to prevent foot injuries or if you have a large wrought iron cage I would put news paper over the great. I would also get one of the stand alone perches like these ones:

Good Luck :) I put my Quaker in her cage when she was 4 weeks but I had a stuffed animal in there for her to snuggle up to.
