Choosing a Bird Cage for Your Cockatiel

When investing in a new bird cage for your beloved cockatiel, you will need to make a careful, well thought out final decision. Your cockatiel will be spending a huge portion of their life confined to this cage, so you’ll want it to be as comfortable, secure and inviting as possible. Follow my tips below for choosing the perfect house for you cockatiel.

1. Choose a large cage for your bird. In general bigger is always better. Make sure that your cockatiel will be able to spread its wings out completely without touching either side of the cage. Also make sure that there will be plenty of roaming room.
2. Choose a square cage for your cockatiel. This will be the most comfortable for your bird, allowing it to nest in the corners.
3. For hygienic purposes, its best to choose a plastic cage or a coated metal cage. It will be much easier for you to clean every week and it will go well with most decors.
4. When deciding on the bar width of the cage, make sure that the bars are ¾ of an inch or less apart. You don’t want your bird to be able to stick its head or body out of the cage. It could easily get stuck or escape if the bars are too far apart.
5. Make sure that the door to the cage is large enough for you to comfortably remove or place your bird within the cage. If it’s too small you may injure your bird when taking it out.
6. Look for cages that have grated floors. This way your bird’s waste won’t be sitting on the ground floor.
