About Bird Cage Sizing
Proper cage size is essential for your bird's physical and mental health. Birds need enough space to fully stretch their wings, climb, play, and exercise.
Key Factors in Cage Selection
- Bird size and wingspan - Larger birds need significantly more space
- Number of birds - Multiple birds require additional space beyond simply doubling
- Bar spacing - Should be appropriate for the species to prevent escape
- Time outside cage - Birds with regular out-of-cage time can manage with slightly smaller cages
Did You Know?
Many commercially available cages are actually too small for the birds they're marketed for. A bird should be able to fully extend its wings in all directions without touching the sides of the cage, and the length of the cage should be at least 2.5 times the bird's wingspan.
Cage Setup Tips
Perch Placement
Place perches at varying heights and distances. Ensure birds can perch without their tails touching cage bars and provide different diameter perches for foot health.
Toys & Enrichment
Include various toys but don't overcrowd the cage. Rotate toys regularly to prevent boredom while maintaining open flight paths within the cage.
Location & Safety
Place the cage against a wall in a room with activity, but away from drafts, direct sunlight, and kitchen fumes. Ensure the cage is made from bird-safe materials.
