Birds as Pets
Did you know that at least 12% of Australian households have some pet birds and with more than 4.1 million pet birds they outnumber cats as household pets?
One of the most important aspects of keeping pet birds is choosing the right bird cage.
This guide will give you some ideas on what to look for when choosing a pet bird and the right bird cage.
Birds can make adorable pets and the staggering range of types, shapes and colour choices means there is a bird for every pet lover.
Birds also tend to be much cheaper to look after than dogs or cats. Some of the great reasons that birds make great pets include:
- Lovable companionship – especially for children and the elderly – can even be trained to sit on your hand or shoulder
- Low maintenance – clean water, healthy food, and a clean cage is all they ask for and they don’t need to be taken for walks
- Intelligent – some birds can even be trained to talk – they’ll also entertain you for hours with their playful hi-jinks and inquisitive curiosity
- Their beautiful singing adds a really joyful and uplifting atmosphere to any home
In fact 47% of pet bird owners cite companionship as the main reason for keeping birds according to the 2016 Animal Medicines pet ownership survey.
If you have a small apartment and you don’t want to be overwhelmed by loud bird song you might want to opt for quieter birds such as Finches.
And remember, birds are social animals so it’s usually better to keep two or more so they have company.
Pet birds really do bring life and colour to your home but as with any pet you need to choose the right bird cage for your needs.
Do I Need a Bird Cage or an Aviary?
The choice between a bird cage or an aviary simply comes down to the type of birds you keep.
Do they need space to spread their wings or are they quite content to explore smaller areas?
The number of birds you intend to keep in the same area is also an important consideration.
Large bird cages are ideal for keeping some of the smaller birds especially those that don’t need lots of room to fly.
Some people even allow their birds (when trained) to fly around inside the house and only keep them in the cage for safe keeping at night.
A large bird cage can be ideal for large birds such as parrots if they are given flight time outside the cage.
Birds are Social Creatures
Birds are social creatures but some species will fight if there is insufficient space.
Some bird species possess extraordinary levels of intelligence and curiosity and they need space to explore.
If they don’t have the space they need they may become bored or listless and eventually lead to health problems.
Typically, a bird cage is too small to house more than two complimentary types of birds.
Australian laws regarding pet bird ownership have tightened especially regarding some exotic birds or native wild birds.
If you plan to keep a bird species that is a little out of the usual run of pet birds you should check both local council and State regulations.
Features Every Good Bird Cage Should Have
Pet birds make really special pets and they’re generally very low maintenance but it’s important to not only choose the right bird for your needs but also to make sure they’re housed appropriately.
Here are some features that every good bird cage should have:
- Plastic or stainless steel food and water bowls – easy to keep clean
- High quality steel construction
- Easy access door with a solid lock to prevent escape
- Removable metal tray – makes keeping the cage clean really easy
- Metal skirt around the base of the cage to catch any spillage of food or water
- Wooden perches – ideally a bird cage should have a number of perches at different heights – wood is the ideal material as it’s easy on their claws
It’s also worth looking for a large bird cage that features caster wheels for effortless manoeuvrability.

When you’re choosing a bird species for your home you also need to take into account the local climate and your preferred bird’s natural habitat.
But you have much more choice when you can so easily move the cage around to shadier, cooler areas in the house.
You also want to make sure that any materials used in the construction of the cage are high quality and non-toxic.
Some birds can have a tendency to peck the bars of the cage and poor quality paint and other coatings can flake off and cause poisoning.
The highly attractive finish and high quality construction makes our range of bird cages ideal for adding an exotic touch to your home décor.
Empty bird cages are extremely popular for showcasing jewellery, sea shells, pot plants or succulent plants, and glass objéts d’art or highlighting topiary arrangements.
Really, the list of exciting ways to use your bird cage is endless and only limited by your imagination.
