Bird Cages

To find the right bird cage is not only the well-being of your bird, but also your wallet. Most bird cages are made of solid steel and wrought iron and can cost thousands of dollars. Although it can be expensive, a solid steel or wrought iron cage is best for large birds. Brass is sometimes used as material in building bird cages. However, you must be very careful to avoid these cages as brass is made with zinc and can lead to zinc poisoning in your bird.

One of the most important thing to remember is to make sure your bird cage is clean. Unlike humans birds do not have hands so they have to use your mouth to climb on their cages. Dirty cages plus foot switch is a very bad combination and can lead to sickness or even death of your beloved bird.

There are three different kinds of cages for birds: floor cages, tables and cages hanging cages. Floor cages are usually medium to large and medium-sized cages, and most are on wheels. These types of large cages are too heavy to hang from the ceiling. Most table cages hanging cages, have not been hung up. Hanging cages usually come only in small sizes.

Because birds are not color blind you need to decorate their cage with colors, especially their favorite colors, as opposed to the myth that says all animals with eyes on the side of his head is color-blind. It is true that some animals with eyes on the side of the head is actually color blind, but not birds. Birds love and need color. Birds are day variations (opposite of nocturnal) and light are necessary to display color, so they can find their food. Birds also use colors to find mates. Bird's favorite colors, and an attentive owner it is your job to discern their color preferences. So experiment: put different colored toys in your bird cage. Your bird's cage must literally be filled with all the latest colorful bells and whistles. Birds love the swings, perches, mirrors and clay licks.
