When I first began looking for a large bird cage for my two parakeets, I wasn’t sure how big it should be or whether 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 he 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.  I felt foolish, but hey, who knew!  When I looked online, I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted right away.  So I decided to dedicate a site just to flight bird cages.

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.  my birds 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 large cage lets them be very healthy since they can do their flying anytime they get the urge to.  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.When you are absent from the house a lot, you can be assured your birds will still be flying and happy.  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 a lot of bird cages probably are hexagon or at least have corners.

The right bird houses are perfect for breeding birds.After finding out that birds that could fly would breed, I did observe Charlie and Sweetie doing just that.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.  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.Everyone seems to chuckle when they hear it, and my next-door friends actually adore it.

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 husband 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.  That way they can join the family more often and still be very safe.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.Just so you are aware, your bird wants to be in the mix with everyone, too.

So you will have a point of reference for the bird cage size, my birds are parakeets.  Their cage is 32” width by 22” depth.At the 59 inch mark, it is a good elevation.  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.  But believe me, Charlie and Sweetie are such happy, healthy and breeding birds now that they have their new place of residence.  I hope you will visit often, as I am going to be adding more posts to this website.While you are still here, if you would like to leave a message about some of your tricks, please do so.Please come back lots and thanks for your visit.
