Cage Size and How much Attention Does Your Bird Need?

Cage Size and How much Attention Does Your Bird Need?

***CAGE SIZE & SPACE NEEDED***

Get the largest cage you can afford. There is no such thing as a cage too large. The more room your bird has the healthier he will be.

***HOW MUCH ATTENTION SHOULD YOU GIVE YOUR BIRD?***

The short answer is to give your bird as much time, attention, and human interaction as is possible. Healthy birds in captivity REQUIRE human interaction.

Many bird breeds demand lots of attention. Macaws, Cockatoos, and African Greys need a lot of attention, just to stay healthy. To make matters worse, they can be spoiled very easily. Cockatiels and Conures are somewhere in the middle of the attention scale and will stay healthy with a moderate amount of attention. On the other hand, small birds like Finches and Canaries require much less time and attention.

It's important to REALLY talk to your birds as often as you can - at the very least once or twice EVERY day. You can also offer a treat whenever you pass by their cage. The more attention you can give your bird - the healthier your bird is going to be.
