Tips For Choosing Canary Bird Cages
Canaries are popular pet birds for people, and for good reason. As far as birds go, they are relatively easy to care for, are good-natured, and can definitely help any person learn the importance of proper bird care. Of course, choosing the proper bird cage is of utmost importance. If you want to have a happy, healthy, well-adjusted canary, then bird cage selection is more important than many people would ever stop to think. For those out there who need the help, here are a few tips on choosing the right cage for your bird.
1) Consider Their Habits If you consider the habits of a canary, bird cage selection should be quite obvious. These are birds that flit and fly about; they don't climb up and down a piece of wood or the sides of the cage as some parrots and other birds tend to do. They fly and hop about, so having space for them is important for their health. A longer, more square or horizontally-slanted bird cage is probably the best bet for your pet. At least twenty inches wide is good, at least for one canary. More canaries obviously entail more cage space. Perches are an important part of canary bird cages and a good rule of thumb is to have at least two—one for each end of the cage. Some cages come with perches already built in and others require that you buy them; perches can also be a nice addition to the look of the bird cage in your home anyway, and your canary will love you for including them.
2) Consider Their Needs Your cage should have enough room for the canary, at least two perches and their food and water dish as well. This makes a larger space more usable, as the further the bowls are from the perch the better it is for your birds' health; droppings have a way of getting into food the other way, and birds will be birds. A cage with a slide-out bottom is great because it allows for very easy cleaning, so your canaries don't have to deal much with waste.
3) Consider Their Safety The last thing you want out of any selection of canary bird cages is to get one that will allow your canary to escape from his cage. Look at cages with bar spacing ½ an inch or less apart. This makes it less of a likelihood that they will ever even try to get out. Also, many canary experts discourage round cages and opt for square cages as canaries can sometimes find security in corners and edges of the cage. After making sure that your cage has been properly placed in your home, you are on your way to a happy singing canary—and no, we don't mean the kind that will snitch on you. Canary bird cages are an important part of their health, so if you want your canary to be well adjusted, make good choices in their cage selection.
