Hello. Jumbo will benefit from being where the action is. The living room or family room is often a great place for your bird since they will feel a part of the family and get to spend more time with you there. If space is an issue in the living room, the cage could be put in a bedroom or office and a smaller play stand can be set up in the living room. That way, the bird has a quiet room for sleep but can be on the play stand for more interaction through the day. I would avoid putting a cage in the kitchen because of the bird dangers that exist there. Hot stove tops, Teflon pans, etc all can be extremely harmful or fatal for birds. Wherever you locate the cage, make sure it’s free of drafts and that other family pets can’t access the cage or pose harm to Jumbo. Good luck!
