When you decide to welcome a new pet into the family, you’re taking on a happy and serious responsibility. Birds of all shapes and sizes are a wonderful addition to any household; with their combination of adorableness and cleverness, along with a huge helping of personality, birds make their way into your heart almost immediately. Plus, most birds are wonderfully independent, meaning they don’t need constant caretaking and can even benefit from time spent on their own, with the proper toys and entertainment. When you’re getting your home ready for a new bird, whether you’re bringing home a cockatiel, cockatoo or parrot, getting them a comfortable home is the first step towards making sure that they’re comfortable and contained in your house. A wooden parrot cage is a great investment in the happiness of you and your parrot.
What should you look for in a quality wooden parrot cage? The first step is to make sure that the square footage of the cage is appropriate for the size and type of parrot that you’re getting. Getting a cage that is too small for your bird is going to lead to frustration for both you and your bird as your pet lets you know that they don’t have the space they need to stretch their wings out, to play and to wander. Once you have decided on the right size, you will want to look for a cage that gives you the ability to attach many different fun accessories for your bird to play with, including toys, climbing ladders, perches and swings. By attaching different accessories and switching them regularly, you will keep your bird engaged and entertained in their cage, a necessity when you’re not able to let them out regularly.
A great wooden cage for your home will be made of a durable wood, like fir, in a style that matches your home. When you begin the shopping process, make sure to look for woods that are treated with non-toxic chemicals that are pet-friendly, since your bird may chew on the wood when bored or grooming their beak. Investing in a cage with a removable bottom tray means you can quickly and easily clean the bottom of the cage with little hassle. Take your time finding the right cage for your pet and your home; a purchase today is an investment in the future happiness of your parrot!
