When I first initiated looking for a big bird cage for my two parakeets, I was not sure how big it should be or whether Charlie and Sweetie really needed a bigger 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 he told me that it was for my birds so that they could actually fly in the cage.  That’s why it is called that.It was daffy of me, but I did not understand!  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 tons of 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 best for them are below.

Why I think Flight Bird Cages are good 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 pets in your home, 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 advice 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 found this out because now that Charlie and Sweetie can fly around in their cage, they started breeding.  So, if you have had no success with breeding your birds, the reason might be because their cage is too small.Your pet bird needs to be flying in order for them to mate!

It makes your pet bird feel free.  During the spring and summer months, I sometimes put their cage outside on my patio.  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.

Cleaning is much easier, giving you more room to maneuver.  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 Charlie and Sweetie 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.This way the birds can be with us in a safe environment.I was able to move the cage to wherever we were, so the birds got in the habit of being with us.  Even with this bigger cage for them, it still makes it so manageable.  Don’t forget, birds like to be part of the family too.

Just so you’ll know the size that I got for Charlie and Sweetie, remember they are parakeets.  Their cage is 32” width by 22” depth.  The height is 59”.  They are a little more money than the smaller birdcages.  But believe me, Charlie and Sweetie are such happy, healthy and breeding birds now that they have their new bird cage.  I hope you will come back often, as I am going to be adding more information to this little page.You can leave a few tips that you do with your birds, that way everyone will be educated.  Again, thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.
