Instructions
Purchase a relatively large cage for your bird. Make sure the bars of the cage are suitable for your type of bird. Smaller birds need bars spaced closer together to prevent their going AWOL.
Select a cage that is wide enough for your bird. Birds tend to fly around and not so much up and down. Taller birds need taller cages, but width should still be a factor in your selection.
Choose a cage made of stainless steel rather than plastic. Steel bird cages last longer and are more durable than plastic or cheap wire cages.
Select a bird cage that offers a pull-out tray for easy cleaning. Also make sure the door of the cage allows for easy removal of seed trays and water dishes.
Look for bird cages that have perches located near your bird's food and water. Make sure the perches are suitable for your type of bird. Small clawed birds require smaller-diameter perches.
Bring your new bird cage home and let your feathered friend stretch his wings in comfort.
