Four Tips for Buying Parakeet Cages
January 13, 2010 by
Filed under Pet Talk
Before you actually buy a parakeet and bring him home, you should have a cage already set up for him. As this will be where your new bird spends most of his time, it’s important that you pick out the right one. This article will give you a few tips on buying parakeet cages.
Shape
An important consideration to make when choosing a cage is its shape. There are many available shapes you can choose from. It’s best to buy a rectangular design. Never buy your bird a round cage because he won’t feel safe. He needs a wall to retreat to when he gets spooked.
Material
You will also need to decide what type of material you want the cage made from. Some of the best options include wrought iron and stainless steel. Some cages may be made from brass, lead, zinc, or galvanized steel. You should never buy your ‘keet a cage made from one of these materials. Birds love to chew, and the toxic metals will likely kill them.
Size
One of the most important considerations when buying parakeet cages is size. Never buy your bird a cage that’s too small for him. At the very least, there should be enough room to allow him to stretch his wings fully without hitting the side of the cage. You should try to buy the biggest cage you can afford.
Bar Spacing
It’s vital that you pay attention to the bar spacing of the cage you’re interested in buying. The bars should be no more than 1/2-inch apart. You don’t want your bird to try to stick his head through the bars and get stuck.
These are a few tips for buying parakeet cages. If this is your first time caring for one of these birds, there are many things you’ll need to learn about parakeet care. So, click here now for even more parakeet information that you need to learn.
