When I first started 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 acquaintances 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 she quickly told me that it was for my birds so that they could actually fly in the cage.This is the reason that it has that name. I felt foolish, but hey, who knew! When I looked online, I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted quickly enough. 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 the best for them are below.
Why I think Flight Bird Cages are best for birds:
My birds are much happier when they can fly around in their cage.The bigger cages lets all birds be healthier and happier because they get their exercises in all day. It keeps their little bodies strong!
They are much safer in their cage if there are other pets in your dwelling, such as a cat or dog.When you are absent from the house a lot, you can be assured your birds will still be flying and happy. One word of advice that I read somewhere, so use your own judgment 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 so many cages probably are hexagon or at least have corners.
The right bird houses are perfect for breeding birds.After finding out that birds that could fly would breed, I did observe Charlie and Sweetie doing just that. So, if you have had no success with breeding your birds, the reason might be because their cage is too small.They need to fly in order to do their breeding!
It makes your birds feel free. During the spring and summer months, I sometimes put their cage outside on my patio. I think when they whistle at the people that go by is a very funny and cute thing.Everyone seems to chuckle when they hear it, and my next-door friends actually adore it.
Cleaning is much easier, giving you more room to maneuver. 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.I was able to move the cage to wherever we were, so the birds got in the habit of being with us. Even with this larger cage for them, it still makes it so easy.Just so you are aware, your bird wants to be in the mix with everyone, too.
So you will have a point of reference for the bird cage size, my birds are parakeets. Their cage is 32” width by 22” depth.It measures in height just at 59 inches. They are a little more money than the smaller birdcages. But believe me, Charlie and Sweetie are such happy, healthy and breeding birds now that they have their new birdcage. I hope you will visit often, as I am going to be adding more info to this little page.You can leave a few tips that you do with your birds, that way everyone will be educated. Again, thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.
