This is an issue that has several answers, many right and not so right ones. In the end, the correct bird cage for your feathered friend is one that is large enough, does not contain harmfulitems that could injure your pet, has the correct bar spacing, is easy maintenance for the owner and is set at a area where your petbird can socialize and be part of the family.

All these ingredients are part of the selection process of finding the "best kind of cage for your feathered friend". To me, size is the number one thing that should be considered. No matter where you purchase your bird cage, whether it is in a store front or online, there should be a sizing chart or guide available 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.

Make sure you are acquiring a top quality cage from a good manufacturer. Paint is very important and any bird cage should use a powder coating process for their painted bird cages. You can avoid this issue by purchasing a stainless steel bird 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 a bird cage.

Your cage needs to be easy to maintain. This really is important because it is essential to your bird that you maintain its home. If a cage is difficult to clean you will more than likely not do it as often as needed. Now, I do not know of a particular bird owner that enjoys this job but making it more difficult than it needs to be just adds frustration for you. Easily removable trays, having 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 maybe the most important aspect bird cage|cage} buying is picking the area to put it in your home. Going through the process of purchasing a bird, bird cage, toys, supplies and all the other items that accompany it and then sticking your pet bird at 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 larger varieties like to interact and be a part of the family. Having them separated is invariably harmful and can lead tophysical and psychological problems with your bird.

So, ask questions, find the right size and bar widths, check the manufacturer, and find the proper area for your bird cage. When you do these items, you and your bird will both benefit and live longer and happier lives.
