Birdcages
When I first began looking for a big bird cage for my two parakeets, I wasn’t sure how big it should be or whether Charlie and Sweetie really needed a bigger cage. So I started to ask friends in a chat room about what they thought. One of them suggested that I look for “flight bird cages”. I really didn’t know what that was, but he told me that it was for my birds so that they could actually fly in the cage. That’s why it is called that.Crazy me, but how was I to guess! When I looked online, I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted right away. So I decided to dedicate a site just to flight bird cages.
I have a lot of information about why birds really should be able to fly inside of a cage, rather than all the time just out of their cage in the house. my birds have loved their new cage and really do seem much happier. Some of my points of why this type of cage is good for them are below.
Why I think Flight Bird Cages are necessary for birds:
My birds are much happier when they can fly around in their cage.The large cage lets them be very healthy since they can do their flying anytime they get the urge to. It keeps their little bodies strong!
They are much safer in their cage if there are other pets in your home, such as a cat or dog. Especially so when you can not be home with them all the time, they can still fly about in their cage. One word of advice that I read somewhere, so use your own idea on this, don’t put your birds in a round cage because it doesn’t give them any points of reference and they will be confused. That’s why a lot of bird cages probably are hexagon or at least have corners.
The right bird houses are perfect for breeding birds.It was an eye opener for me to acknowlege Charlie and Sweeties were mating after being able to fly around in the cage. So, if you have had no success with breeding your birds, the reason might be because their cage is too small.Your pet bird needs to be flying in order for them to mate!
It makes your birds feel free. When it is warm outside, I make sure that their cage is outdoors once in a while. I think when they whistle at the people that go by is a very funny and cute thing. The people seem to get a laugh out of it, and my neighbors love it.
You can clean the cage easier because of the room you have in it. I found that the easier cages are to clean, they get changed and cleaned a lot more often. Even my son doesn’t mind cleaning it, and it takes less time than it used to with the smaller cage.
The flight bird cage I got for my birds is on a pedestal, so they are at eye level with us. They love being able to be right there with us and talk to us a lot more often. That way they can join the family more often and still be very safe.The birds were so used to seeing us when they were in the small cage that was carted around wherever we were. Even with this larger cage for them, it still makes it so manageable. Don’t forget, birds like to be part of the family too.
Just so you’ll know the size that I got for Charlie and Sweetie, remember they are parakeets. Their cage is 32” width by 22” depth.At the 59 inch mark, it is a good elevation. The flight cages are a bit more expensive than just the small little bird cages that you probably had when you first got your birds. But believe me, Charlie and Sweetie are such happy, healthy and breeding birds now that they have their new house. I hope you will come back often, as I am going to be adding more material to this website.While you are still here, if you would like to leave a message about some of your tricks, please do so. Again, thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.
