Cockatiel Bird Cages You Will Love If you are looking for a great deal on cockatiel bird cages, Amazon has a great range at even better prices. Ordering cockatiel bird cages online gives you so much more choice and saves you hours of driving around. I wouldn’t buy a cockatiel online, as I choose them for their personalities. If I do get one online I make sure I can see it first, and often it is just too far to travel. Cages and accessories, on the other hand, are great to order online, as they are delivered conveniently to your door. At the bottom of this article, you will see just some of what you can find at Amazon…….

Cockatiel Bird Cages Here are some points to consider when buying your cockatiel a cage. The ideal size would be at least 24 inches square and 30 inches high or bigger. The cockatiel needs to be able to stretch his wings out fully and not be able to touch the bars if he is in the middle of the cage. So, in other words, the cage should be a minimum of twice as wide as your bird’s wingspan. Make sure the bars are not too far apart, as in the larger parrot cages. A half an inch is perfect. Bar Orientation (horizontal/vertical). Most Bird cages are vertical. Buy the largest cage that you can afford to give your cockatiels plenty of room to climb and play. A square cage is a better choice than a round one. Don’t forget to purchase perches and toys to keep your cockatiel entertained. Cockatiels love swings and mirrors. The best types of material used in modern bird cage construction are stainless and powder-coated steel. Painted cages are not ideal as a cockatiel likes to chew the paint off. Ask if the cage has had treatment for rust if you are keeping it outside. Check that the cage won’t be cumbersome to clean. A slide-out tray at the bottom is ideal. Make sure the cage comes with food dishes or that you can buy generic ones that will fit. Make sure the cage is sturdy and safe for your bird. Make sure it has secure doors, as some birds are escape artists. Examples of Great Cockatiel Cages This 60-inch Flight birdcage below is one of the most popular styles of birdcages. Probably due to its attractive design and the stand that makes it easier to wheel around. You may also enjoy a flatter and wider cage like a 30-inch Flight birdcage which is stackable with a slide-out tray and handle. The cage is crafted from high-strength carbon steel, and boasts high strength and rigidity, providing a solid structural support that enhances stability. This is crucial for maintaining the shape and structure of the bird cage and preventing deformation or damage. I love the Yaheetech Open Play Top Travel Bird Cage mainly because it opens out at the top so your birds can enjoy some freedom sitting at the top. All three of the above cages are easy to clean, which is one of the first things I look at once I have decided on the perfect cockatiel bird cage.
