A home is complete when it offers the best to the people living within. Similarly, providing adequate living space for your pet is among the basics for every bird owner. Architect Onal Kothari puts forth few guidelines to get the perfect living space for your pet bird.
- Location: This is a very important aspect as it ensures security for your pet. Pick a location where you plan to hang the bird’s cage. Shop for a bird cage that can accommodate your pet and ensure it is comfortable.
- Size: The size of your bird is another factor to keep in mind. The cage you select should be spacious enough for your bird to walk around comfortably, accommodate food bowls and bird toys. It should also be large enough for the bird to fully extend/flap their wings.
- Bars: You know that your bird could easily escape if given a chance and large bar spacing would be invitation to do so. Before you purchase a bird cage, consider the bar spacing. Smaller birds do not require more than half inches of bar distance. If the market provides, opt for a cage with both horizontal and vertical bars in it.
- Design: Shape and style of the cage is another feature to look out for. These are not only important to complement your home, but also hold a great impact on bird’s psychology.
- Quality: The primary aim of the bird cage is to protect your pet. For this, quality is essential. Enquire about the craftsmanship and quality of the cage before making any purchase. It is not necessary that every product that appears sturdy and solid is a good one. Look if the edges are sharp etc. before you finalize your purchase.
