What Is The Best Type Of Bird Cage For Your Feathered Friend

This is an issue that has several answers, many correct and not so correct ones. �In the end, the correct bird bird cage for your feathered friend is one that is large enough, doesn't contain harmfulitems that could injure your pet, has the proper bar spacing, is easy cleaning for the owner and is set in a area where your petbird can interact and be part of the family. �
All of these things go into selecting the "best type of cage for your feathered friend". �To me, size is the first thing you should consider. �No matter where you get your cage, whether it is in a store front or online, there should be a sizing chart or guide intended for you to review. �Also, ask the question to the sales person where your buying from. �Let them know the type of bird and they should be able to recommend a minimum size of cage. �Bar spacing is also a consideration here. �Typical bar spacing is 5/8" or 1". �Again, ask the sales person of website owner what the maximum recommended bar spacing is for your bird.
Ensure you are acquiring a top quality cage from a reputable manufacturer. �Paint is very essential and any bird cage should use a powder coating process for their painted cages. �You can avoid this issue by purchasing a stainless-steel bird cage, but often these are very expensive and not affordable to the average bird owner. �Any retail or online store should provide you information on the painting process and facts about the bird cages concerning peeling, scratching and other ways a bird can ingest paint from the cage. �
Your cage should be easy to maintain. �This is important since it is important to your bird that you maintain its home. �If a bird cage is difficult to clean you will more than likely not do it as often as needed. �Now, I don't know of a particular bird owner that enjoys this task but making it more tedious than it needs to be just adds frustration for you. �Easily removable trays, access to food and water, seed catchers, etc. are all things that ought to be properly thought out before your purchase. �
Finally, the final and perhaps the most important aspect bird cage|cage} purchasing is selecting the area to place it in your home. �Going through the process of buying a bird, cage, toys, supplies and all the other stuff that accompany it and then sticking your feathered friend in the north wing of your house when you're in the south wing all the time is just crazy. �Experience your bird and let him enjoy you. �Birds, especially medium and larger varieties prefer to socialize and be part of the family. �Having them away from the family is invariably unhealthy and can lead tophysical and psychological problems with �your bird.
So, ask questions, find the proper size and bar widths, check the manufacturer, and locate a good area for your cage. �If you do these items, you and your bird will both benefit and live longer and happier lives.
