Parrot Cages

Home, casa, hut, shack, pad, nest whatever you call it, everyone and everything has one. Your parrot is no different whether you keep it in a cage or let it live cageless your parrot needs a place called home. Now not all parrots are into the whole mi casa es su casa thing and they will let it you know but its better that they trash their own place than yours, right? So think about what your parrots lives in as strongly as the type of parrot you are looking forward to buy, adopt or already own.

If you choose to keep your parrot uncaged you must consider all the possible household hazards that your parrot could potentially face and how much destruction to your home your parrot is capable of causing. If you decide to keep your parrot in a cage you can't let it stay there forever because it needs time out of its cage, just picture yourself living at home bored and alone for the rest of your life that is probably how your parrot would feel. Parrots are not all the same so choose a cage that best meets your parrot's individual needs. Also different species of parrots require cages that best suite them.

Some few things to consider when purchasing a cage for your parrot are price, size, material, ease of cleaning, bar spacing, shape, door size, food dishes, how escape proof the cage is, and design. The price for parrot cages can range from $20 dollars to well passed $1000. Obviously the price depends on the species of bird that the cage is going to house. Parrot cages are usually expensive at pet shops, but you can find cheap cages at the flea market or on the Internet on eBay, Craigslist, and other Internet sites. Although beware that not all cheap cages you might find are not safe.

As with previous posts I will break up this post into a series so I don't create an overwhelming monster. Also I will specifically describe the cage requirements of different species when I post what I know about them. So if this sea of text has bored you here are some videos I've posted from YouTube below.




Strangely while I was watching this video Kiki escaped out of her own cage.
