Does the kind of bird cage matter?
The big things to pay attention to when picking a cage are the personality and size of your bird. Escape artists or very intelligent birds are going to need more secure cages, and birds that love to climb are going to have to have lots of horizontal bars to allow them to do so. 2. Can I buy a used cage? Be wary of used cages, since they may have been repainted or repaired badly, or been home to a bird that carried a disease. If you don’t know the source of the cage, you should assume it’s not right for your bird. In addition, many cages are made to be decorative, not as real homes for birds. While it may be more expensive, you should purchase a quality cage from a pet store, that’s been designed for your bird. 3. How about imported cages? Cages made overseas may be made from unsafe materials, including lead, so you need to make sure that you’re buying one that’s been made according to good safety standards. Look for recognized companies with good reputations if you’re going to buy any
