Your family is excited to bring a bird into the household, and you are eagerly preparing for her arrival. Since you know that her cage will be where she spends a lot of her time, you want to make sure you choose the right one. However, there are so many sizes on the market. How large should your bird’s cage be?

Every bird is different, so you will need to do some research prior to purchasing a cage. Some birds will need more space than others, and will therefore need a larger cage to keep them happy and content. Also, consider where perches can be placed within it, as this may impact your decision. The spot you plan on placing her cage within your home may also influence your decision, so determine this before heading to the store.
