Before bringing a pet bird home, you must have a place to keep it. The most common choice is a bird cage. There are many different kinds and sizes of bird cages on the market and they are available at a range of prices.

Smaller bird cages can measure just inches in size and are perfect for finches and canaries, while larger bird cages work well for bigger birds, such as hyacinth macaws. You will be able to find simple square box bird cage and also cages which are more ornate with lots of detail. Bird cages also vary in construction material they with materials ranging from aluminum to iron and acrylic.

There are a few things you should take into consideration before deciding on a bird cage for your new pet. The bird cage you choose should be something that keeps the bird safe and comfortable. It is important that the bird has plenty of room, so make sure and buy the largest possible size appropriate for the size bird you have in order to allow it free movement in its cage.

It is important to consider the size and space between bars on a bird cage. Bars that are too thin can be easily bent broken by large bars, possibly causing an escape. An escape is also possible if the bars are too far apart. Bird cages with bars too close together can cause birds to injure themselves if their beak, foot, or wing happens to get stuck in between the bars. Of course you will also want to take into consideration how the bird cage will look in your home and how much of your time will be taken up with maintenance procedures as well.
