When I first began looking for a huge bird cage for my two parakeets, I wasn’t sure how big it should be or whether my birds, Charlie and Sweetie really needed a larger cage.  So I started to ask people I knew in a chat room about what they thought.  One of them suggested that I look for “flight bird cages”.  I really didn’t know what that was, but she quickly told me that it was for my birds so that they could actually fly in the cage.This is the reason that it has that name.Crazy me, but how was I to guess!  When I looked online, I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted right away.I have dedicated this website to all about why larger birdcages are important for your pet birds.

I have since found more and more information about why birds really should be able to fly inside of a cage, rather than all the time just out of their cage in the house.  Charlie and Sweetie have loved their new cage and really do seem much happier.  Some of my points of why this type of cage is the greatest for them are below.

Why I think Flight Bird Cages are necessary for birds:

My birds are much happier when they can fly around in their cage.The bigger cages lets all birds be healthier and happier because they get their exercises in all day.  It keeps their little bodies strong!

They are a lot safer in their cage if there are other animals in your house, such as a cat or dog.  Especially so when you can not be home with them all the time, they can still fly about in their cage.  One word of caution that I read somewhere, so use your own idea on this, don’t put your birds in a round cage because it doesn’t give them any points of reference and they will be confused.  That’s why so many cages probably are hexagon or at least have corners.

The right bird houses are perfect for breeding birds.I discovered that after Charlie and Sweetie started flying about in the bird cage, they began to mate.Just to make sure you understand that if you have had no luck with your birds mating, it might be because the birdcage they are in is not large enough.Allowing birds access to flight will enhance their ability to mate!

It makes your pet bird feel free.  When it is warm outside, I make sure that their cage is outdoors once in a while.  I think when they whistle at the people that go by is a very funny and cute thing.When the unexpected person walks by, they smile and then giggle and my other friends howl with laughter.

You can clean the cage easier because of the room you have in it.  I found that the easier cages are to clean, they get changed and cleaned a lot more often.  Even my son doesn’t mind cleaning it, and it takes less time than it used to with the smaller cage.

The flight bird cage I got for my birds is on a pedestal, so they are at eye level with us.  They love being able to be right there with us and talk to us a lot more often.  That way they can join the family more often and still be very safe.Being able to move the cage to where we were, the birds were so accustomed to them being around us.  Even with this bigger cage for them, it still makes it so easy.Always remember, birds love to be in the family-unit also.

To help figure on what size birdcage you’ll need, remember my Charlie and Sweetie are parakeets.  Their cage is 32” width by 22” depth.  The height is 59”.  The flight cages are a bit more expensive than just the small little bird cages that you probably had when you first got your birds.You better bet that Charlie and Sweetie are very enjoyable pets because now they can fly with their new home bird cage.  I hope you will visit often, as I am going to be adding more material to this website.I hope that you will share some of your time to tell us about some of your tips about birds.Just wanted to say thank you again for visiting and look to your return.
