Five points to consider when buying a new bird cage

By Joe David


One of the fundamentals in possessing and taking care of a pet bird is providing a comfy living space for it. With the plethora of bird cages available on the market, it can overcome many new buyers and often leave animals in inappropriate environments to live in.

Keeping that in mind, make your pet bird extra pleased by considering these 5 simple points when purchasing your new cage:

1. Where your bird cage is going to be housed

2. Having the right sized cage for your pet

3. Finding a bird cage with the right bar spacing

4. Style and shape of your cage

5. Design and quality of your new cage

Where your bird cage is going to be positioned

When thinking of where you can place your bird cage at home - think about your bird and their need for moderate exposure to daylight, warmness and opportunities for sociable engagement. If you've thought of the ideal spot - you will want to make sure a cage will fit there.

TOP TIP! Your pet bird will get overly warm or incredibly cold if you put them near to a window - so avoid doing so without exceptions!

Considering your pet bird's size

This one may look straightforward, but when buying your cage on the internet it is extremely easy to lose the concept of dimensions and sizings of the products that you are getting. Always buy the largest bird cage for your animal as you can pay for or fit at home. By the time you fill it with perches, toys and meal bowls, they should still have space to walk around easily and flap their wings!

Selecting a cage that's too small will make your pet feel like a hostage. Just like humans, extended exposure to a confined space with little space for exercise will have mental effects - shouting, nipping and feather pulling are just a handful of symptoms to say your pet might be stressed by its cage.

Getting a bird cage with the right bar spacing

Birds can very easily break free if given the chance to - they don't naturally live in cages after all! So you need to ensure your bird cage is going to hold them safely. For example, if you were going to keep a finch, you would need a cage with the bars relatively close to one another.

Birds love to climb about inside their cages and have a nosey at things a bit closer, so they love having bars that are primarily horizontal. It's great exercise for them too so it's definitely worth getting such a cage.

Which shape cage and design should you buy

The style of the bird cage is also a factor that you should take into consideration - not solely to match the appearance of the room it'll be residing in either!

As outlined by veterinarian research, circular bird cages have been found to be harmful to a bird's mental well being. Understanding that, our recommendation is that you buy an angled cage. Most cages can be hung or put on a stand, and angled cages are available for all types of birds.

Things to look for build wise in a quality cage

A pet supplies shop on-line will be the best place to buy through, if you're not visiting a regular store. They will have the most effective goods that are the most appropriate, so it will take the stress out of choosing for you if you do.

Usually, most cages now come with perches and feeding containers built-in - and that means you don't have to worry about cramming them in and buying them individually. It's suggested you buy a stainless steel bird cage as well, since they are the simplest to wash and are the safest for the bird.

With all of that - you should be prepared to choose the right cage for your animal that's available! You can be confident they are loving life in their new bird cage and you can get on with enjoying the company of your feathered friend at-home!
