To properly take care of your special pet bird, it needs the right home that makes it feel happy, comfortable, and safe. Each bird species requires special care in order for it to properly flourish in your home and for owner and pet to enjoy their time together. So whether you have a small finch or multiple lovebirds, the right birdcage requires a keen eye for flying space, play area, and feeding areas. Treat your beloved pets with a perfect oasis that caters to their exact needs. Here are some fantastic birdcages we recommend.
Purchasing a Birdcage
Keep these things in mind when searching for the perfect birdcage:
- Size: Smaller birds typically need cages with smaller dimensions because the space between the bars increases with the cage’s size. If you want to give your small birds more flying space, check the width of the spaces between the bars to ensure that they can’t get stuck or escape. If you have multiple birds or own a large bird, look for cages that are at least 2 feet tall and wide for ample flying space.
- Disposal System: Some species of birds toss items around, which can lead to some messy floors. To avoid this, look for birdcages with a removable tray that is waterproof so that you can wash them off. A seed guard also contains some of the mess as birds can’t drop items through the bars.
- Features: As it is not ideal to remove your birds from their cage every time you need to clean the cage or feed them, cages with large doors are ideal. Feed doors are also helpful because they give you just enough room to replenish the food or water supply without giving your birds a large opening to escape from.
