How to Select a Cage!

There are a few simple rules when selecting a cage.

1)  Select the largest cage you can get

2)  Remember that this is your bird's new home.  You would not want to live in a small space.

3)  Bar spacing is critical for the type of bird you are buying.  If you are not sure what the correct spacing should be for your bird please feel free to e-mail us with the species and we can advise you accordingly.

4)  Color does not matter to the bird - get the color you like best.

5)  Make sure the cage can hold the right amount of toys for your bird - Your bird will need toys and distractions and to keep it active, a bored bird is very unhealthy.

Right Size Cage for your Bird!

What a cage means to a responsible bird owner is a spacious, sturdy home filled with colorful, interesting toys, plenty of space to climb around.  It should also accommodate a variety of perches and places to put food and water crocks.  The home environment for a happy, healthy, well-adjusted bird recreates its natural environment on many levels and helps create a harmonious relationship between you, your bird,  and its home.

There are some basic guidelines for purchasing your first cage, but the golden rule is to get the biggest and best cage you can possible afford.  Would you be satisfied with a tiny, box-like apartment when you could have four rooms, a patio and a Jacuzzi tub?  Your bird is going to need some cool stuff for its new digs, too.

First get a new cage, do not take hand-me-down cages especially if you know a bird has died from an illness while residing in that cage.  Antique and wooden frame cages are not bird friendly and maybe treated with toxic chemicals or paint. Get technical with the construction and aspects of the cage.  Look for welded seams and corners and a quality paint job.  Your bird's eyesight is superb, and it will find any chips in the paint and start making them bigger.  Look for wide cages, one rule of thumb is to start with a cage that's at least double the adult wingspan of the bird that will reside in it, but remember that is a guideline for minimum space requirements.  This is one instance in which bigger is definitely better, given recommendations from numerous sources that your bird have anywhere from four to six toys in its cage at a time.  A single lovebird, budgie or parrotlet may do OK in a cage that has a 1 foot square on the base and 12 to 18 inches high, provided it gets out of the cage for substantial periods of time on a regular basis.  But a cage 18 by 18 inches on the base and 18 to 24 inches high provides more room for your pet and all its paraphernalia.  A cage with a base of 2 feet square, 3 feet high that might me labeled as an Amazon cage might be appropriate for a caique, Senegal or ringneck, provided the bars are of the proper spacing.
