At our aviary, we prefer to use newspaper. It's very easy to change and much cheaper. But it needs to be done frequently. Size Your cage needs to be large enough for your bird to exercise and move around comfortably. It's been our experience that it's much better to get an oversized cage.
Safety Pay attention to the spacing of the bars.
If there is too big of a gap our bird will be able to stick it's head between the bars. I have seen a bird accidentally hang its self in between the bars of a cage because of the bars not being close enough together. We will be selling certain bird cages here at the Aviary and we will help you decide which cage is best for you and your bird. If you have any questions about cages please e-mail us .
