Bird Cage Styles

Flight cages

These type of cages are great for multiple small birds because it gives them plenty of room to fly around. Flight cages give birds the opportunity to exercise and socialize, plus flying is great for a bird's mental health!

Travel carriers/cages

When it isn't convenient to be constantly moving your bird's primary cage, a smaller travel carrier or cage may be the answer. If you're going on a trip or taking your bird to the veterinarian, having a smaller cage is very beneficial. A travel cage like the Perch & Go makes traveling stress-free and gives your parrot a complete view of his surroundings.

Aviaries

Aviaries are generally much more spacious than a bird's primary cage, providing birds with much more space to exercise and fly. The spacious interiors are great for someone with multiple birds, plus they can easily be set up outside, offering birds a natural environment, fresh air, and sunlight.

Beneficial cage features

Cages can come with a variety of features, and many of these features can make your life much easier. Ensure your cage has these beneficial features to make accessibility and daily maintenance simpler. A cage with roll casters make location changes a breeze, while large doors give you easy access to your bird or for cleaning. Removable seed skirts, bottom grates, and slide-out trays help to minimize mess and make cleaning much easier. Doors with locks are a great security feature for clever birds. Lastly, individual feeder doors that open from the outside ensure smooth food and water changes.
