Bird cages?

I noticed today my old cage has horizontal bars where as my new cage they are vertical...which is better? will my lovebird get its head caught in the vertical bars?
Answers:
Horizontal are better as parrots love to climb. Generally cages have 2 horizontal sides %26 2 vertical.
EDIT: vertical bars are usually for hanging stuff. If your bird can climb the cage without any problems it's perfectly fine.
%26 this:
"Horizontal vs Vertical Bars
Cages come with all horizontal bars, all vertical bars and combinations of the two. Vertical bars provide strong support, especially for the heavy tops of larger cages and are preferred for the front which should have a large door opening in it.
Openings for feeder doors and breeder boxes are shorter. If they are placed among horizontal bars in a cage, they create less disturbance to the structure. Horizontal bars also make climbing and attaching dishes, perches and toys easier.
When choosing a larger cage, try to get one with at least some vertical bars for strength and stability. A combination of both vertical and horizontal is a good choice. Many cages are made with vertical fronts and backs and horizontal sides"
they really make no difference and no your love bird get its head caught in the bars unless the head is that small or bars are that much far apart
it makes no difference wat type of a cage it is wat makes a difference is that he is caught in a cage
there is nothing wrong with that just be sure to clean his cage everyday and see that he is happy
i think horizontal isbetter cuzthen theycan climb
