Bird Cages

With so many shapes and sizes that are available, finding the right cage for your feathered bird can be a challenge. Unfortunately, many birdcages are designed for their ornamental value rather than for purpose. As a rule of thumb, when it comes to choosing the right type of bird cage, the width or length should be longer than the height because birds usually don’t fly up and down. A cage that is tall and narrow don’t allow flight. Cages that are rectangular in shape are better compared to those that are squared or rounded. The dimension of the cage should be able to allow the bird to stretch its wings and flap them without hitting the cage’s sides.

There are 2 basic cage designs that are recommended for pet birds. One is exclusively made of wire and the other is a box cage which is made of metal or wood on the 3 sides and the front is wire mesh, iron or steel bars, or glass.
