Cage sizes and security guidelines. |

Click on the scrolling link above to see beautiful, new, quality cages for sale, right here in Phoenix, Arizona!!! We have had many people say, "How big of a cage should I buy?"...and I say, "Buy bigger than you can afford." Depending on the species of bird you own, you
should look at the space between the bars and make sure your little birdie
doesn’t make a guillotine out of its cage. Think of your new bird as a
Houdini-wanna-be. Make sure that the latches are secure and that the bars
are strong enough to contain his prying beak...and body. For more
information on cage sizing and bar spacing, go to:

is a "Cage Size Chart" that is really done well. If you have a screaming bird, having an outside cage is a wonderful idea! We have a Blue Crown Conure who used to scream. We put her in a cage on the porch by the door we were constantly running in and out of. She soon learned that her screaming got her no where...we would still keep running right by!!! A bird's cage is his/her house. Make the cage big enough so that the bird is comfortable. Make sure you do not overcrowd your bird's cage with toys, but also, make sure they have lots of toys. A big
concern for me with cages is that IF the cage has bowl holders built into
the cage, that those bowl holders should always hold a bowl, even an upside
down bowl if the person doesn't want anything in the bowl...because leaving
cage bowl holders empty is a serious hazard for the birds. The birds WILL
try to crawl into those bowl holders and end up breaking a wing or leg or
worse. http://exoticfeed.com/ is a Phoenix cage dealer |
