You have been looking into your different pet options, and you feel that a bird would be ideal for your preferences and lifestyle. What should you know about purchasing a cage for your new feathery friend?

There are a lot of different cages out there, and you will need to narrow them down little by little to find the ideal option for your bird. The easiest way to initially get the ball rolling is to look into size and shape, then move onto perch placement. Different birds will need different things, so make a point to determine what your bird’s cage will need to house and where you would place these items. Consider the space between bars and how the opening is held closed, as you want it to keep your pet safely contained. Your local Oshawa, ON veterinarian can offer additional guidance.
