Your canary needs a quality cage. If you’ve never bought a cage before, there are a few things you need to consider. Material and size are two of the most important considerations. Here are a few tips for buying a canary cage.
Size
Size is one of the most important things to consider. Canaries are small birds. Your canary can easily escape if the bars are spaced too widely apart. You need to ensure that the bars are spaced no more than half an inch apart.
Shape
When buying a canary cage, you also need to consider its shape. Most owners visualize a tall, domed cage. Canaries don’t fly vertically. They fly horizontally. Therefore, you need to get a cage that’s wider than it is tall.
Material
The type of material used to construct the cage is also important. Plastic, wood, and metal are your main options. If possible, you should try to get a metal cage. Wood and acrylic plastic cages can be difficult to clean, and you always want your bird cage to stay as tidy as possible.
Metal cages typically last longer also. Of your metal options, powder coated metal and stainless steel are better options. However, avoid designs that have thin wire, as they will be less durable. It’s best to invest in a quality cage so you don’t have to buy one anytime soon.
Hopefully, you can now pick out a great cage for your canary. If this is your first bird, then you definitely need to learn more about proper care of canaries. You will learn all you need to know to ensure your little bird stays healthy.

When seeking out new birds cages, the most important thing to think about is the pet bird which you have and their needs. You have to take their size into account and the way that they behave when caged. Many birds like to fly around in their cage, some like to climb and others do both! You want to be sure that your birds cage gives your pet plenty of room to keep them a happy, healthy bird.
Your birds cages should be at least twice as wide as their wingspan. If your bird likes to fly in its cage though, you’ll want to get the largest cage that you can in order to accommodate this behavior.
Birds cages are available in all sizes and shapes with different choices of materials. While there are wooden, metal and plastic cages which you can buy, the most popular (and generally the least expensive) type is plastic coated wire. However, this material is not suitable for all birds, since some birds will chew on the wire and may become ill from swallowing plastic bits. If your bird is of a variety which has a tendency to do this, you?ll want to go with a different type of birds cage. However, plastic coated wire is favored by many because it is easy to clean.
As you look for a bird cage, keep cleaning in mind. Cleaning your bird?s cage is an important part of caring for your pet. Most bird cages have a bottom tray which is removable for easy cleaning. Remember to clean your bird?s cage at least twice a week and more often if your bird is a larger species or if you are keeping more than one bird in the same page.
You can of course always look for a bird cage that fits in with your decor scheme. There are many different varieties of birds cages available for all budget ranges, and with enough searching you are sure to find something that fits in with the rest of the room that you are planning to house your birds in. Remember though, your bird is a pet and a companion, not a decorative accessory. Choosing a cage that fits the bird is more important than how the cage looks. Even if it is the perfect cage and you need it there, fine. Put the bird in an appropriate cage somewhere else and find another bird that fits the cage you just have to buy.
