Starting Off Right: Buying Bird Pet Supplies

Birds need lots of toys and other pet supplies. The right ones will keep the beak bone healthy, and provide diversion. You can also buy natural fiber rope to keep your bird entertained. Be sure to avoid pressure-treated pine, cedar, and balsa wood, as they may damage the bird’s beak or feathers. Styptic pencils are useful for stopping bleeding. The correct size and shape of the perch is critical.

Aviaries provide large areas for birds

Birds should have plenty of space to move around and can be confined in an aviary if they are not comfortable. Choosing a proper aviary is important, as many factors can make your bird’s living environment unsafe. For example, if you buy a bare-bones aviary, you risk the risk of your bird escaping. To avoid this situation, you should invest in a larger aviary with plenty of room for movement.

Cages should be sturdy

When purchasing a bird cage, consider several factors. Cages for bird pet supplies should be strong enough to support the weight of the bird. Feeding and watering areas should be in the upper third of the cage, while the bottom third should be empty. If the feeding area is in the bottom, you will need to buy new feeders and bowls. The door of the cage should open from the side or slide back like a sliding glass door. It should also lower down like a drawbridge. Avoid guillotine-style doors, which may trap the head of your bird. Also, larger birds should be placed in cages with locks and other escape-proof features.

Food bowls should be far enough away from perches

Perches should be kept clean and easily replaced. Trees that are nontoxic are ideal. For a finch, a single perch may suffice, but if he or she prefers to fly and jump, it is best to place the perch far enough away from the perch. The perches should be high enough for the bird to access the food without their tail contacting the food.

Perches can be made

You can make perches yourself from tree branches. This is a great way to provide variety for your bird. Choose branches with coarse wood, as it will help prevent the growth of birds’ nails. Be sure to wash the wood thoroughly with boiling water, and dry it thoroughly before using it. Make sure to use wood that is at least half-inch in diameter, so that your bird’s feet do not get caught in it.

Other bird supplies available

There are several other types of bird pet supplies available. Cockatoos, for example, are affectionate birds that love to be cuddled. They have large expressive eyes and lovely head plumage, but they can also be loud and will chew on paper and wooden toys. This list is not exhaustive. Some other types of pet supplies for birds include toys for caged birds, bird food, and bird toys. Some of these items will be required for certain types of birds.
