Bird Cages - How to Choose the Right Bird Cages

103 1
When you are buying a cage for a new bird or a new bird cage for an existing bird, it is always important to keep in mind the bird you are buying the cage for.
Some breeds of bird need taller cages while some breeds need wider cages.
You need to think about how the bird or the breed of bird typically behaves in a cage setting and buy accordingly.
Some like to climb and need a lot of height but not a lot of width, while some like to fly around so will need a wide cage.
A good rule of thumb is that the cage needs to be at the very minimum, twice as wide as the bird's maximum wingspan.
Of course, if your bird likes to fly around and you do not plan of letting it out of the cage a lot, you will need to get a much bigger cage so the bird can do all of its flying inside the cage.
Bird's cages come in many different shapes, sizes and are made out of a wide variety of materials.
You can find them made of wood, metal, plastic, and plastic coated metal, which are the most common as well as the easiest to clean although birds that like to chew on things may wear away at the coating over time possibly resulting in a health problem if they swallow the bits of plastic they tear off.
Another thing to keep in mind when choosing a bird cage is how you are going to clean it.
Many birds cages come with a removable bottom tray so you only have to slide it out and empty it.
You should be cleaning your bird's cage at least once or twice a week- more often for larger birds or multiple birds in the same cage.
You can of course always look for a bird cage that fits in with your décor scheme.
There are many different varieties of birds cages available for all budget ranges, and with enough searching you are sure to find something that fits in with the rest of the room that you are planning to house your birds in.
Remember though, your bird is a pet and a companion, not a decorative accessory.
Choosing a cage that fits the bird is more important than how the cage looks.
Even if it is the perfect cage and you need it there, fine.
Put the bird in an appropriate cage somewhere else and find another bird that fits the cage you just have to buy.
