Parakeet Cages Could House your bird for up to 20 years, so Pick Wisely

Are you having a parakeet, or you already have one, and the need to buy a cage? You'll have to take into account all the things your parakeet will need his cage.



Bigger is definitely better when it comes to the parakeet cage. Although this bird is a climber, it also likes to stretch her wings and fly, so do not look at anything under 39 "x 20" x 32 "for a few small parakeets.



Because the climb as well as flies you need for both horizontal and vertical lines. They will use the horizontal bars which move when they are climbing. Always place the bar width is smaller than their head, would you not want them to have their head firmly. 

They are fussy little birds, they do not like features and they do not like to be near a kitchen and get cooking smells or odors from the bathroom either.



Humidity is something you should seriously consider. They need a 60-70% humidity, so if you keep them in a centrally heated house, you must use a humidifier maintained at low to give them the atmosphere they need.



Parakeets love to play with toys, they just love to pull and tug on things, so one of those rope toys are perfect for them. They also enjoy the swings and ladders. If you give them something to play with, which was not designed specifically for birds, make sure that there is something about it that can harm them, crushed parts or long strings that could swallow.



They like a lot of perches at different levels of interest. If you love their food and water containers higher, you must use a stick nearby, so they can get their food and drink. Always be sure that containers are not taking anything where birds can perch and let his foul remnants of his food and water. This could make him sick.



They really enjoy a Squid legs only to shape their beaks, to get rid of some sloppy edges and also it will give them much needed extra calcium.



You can even give them the stone perches and they will use this to smooth out their beaks.



Always remember that a parakeet can live anywhere from 15-20 years, so their environment should be right for them. If you want happy, healthy birds, you must be prepared to spend time to ensure that you select the right parakeet cages.



All caged birds need to be shut out of their cage every day. Even if you've given him everything he wants and needs of its cage, it is still necessary for them to be able to fly every day to say to an hour or so.
