Thinking about buying a bird?
I‘ve had a number of smaller caged birds over the years. Most of them have been the smaller variety like finches, budgies, canaries and the bigger ones like cockatiels. They all have their own little personalities and their own quirks but some things they all have in common.
I have not yet found a bird that doesn’t moult. That is, they are constantly either fixing their own feathers or the feathers on another bird. Preening is a whole other story. Suffice it to say – birds preen and they moult. Their feathers fall out and new ones grow in. Of course, every time the birds flap their wings for exercise those feathers are scattered all over the room and beyond.
Some birds require more care in this area that others and sometimes it depends on the condition of the air in your home. A healthy, happy bird does not have bald spots.
Caged birds usually eat seeds and seeds have shells. Most birds don’t eat the shells so they have to get rid of them and as they use their beaks to break them open the shells fly everywhere. I do occasionally give them shelled seeds, fruits and vegetables but they need the hard shells to keep their beaks in good condition. I use cage skirts that fit around the bottom of the cages to keep the seeds, feathers and dust on the inside of the cage instead of on the floors and furniture.
Seed eating birds require gravel, egg shells or oyster shells to help them digest their food. I also provide them with minerals and cuttlebone.
Clean water to drink and for bathing are essential to keep them hydrated. I have a bath attached to the side of the bird cage but they invariably want to take their bath in the drinking water instead. This means that at least once a day and sometimes twice a day they have to be given fresh water. I think I will have to find a way to train them not to drink their bath water. I guess they don’t know the difference.
After all that eating, preening, bathing, and drinking you need someplace for them to exercise. You will need a cage with enough room in it that is free of toys, drinking and food cups and anything else you might have in there so the wings can be fully expanded. I must admit – I do allow mine to fly outside the cage now and then and although I have had to put slats across the top of the cupboards to keep them from chewing it and having to make sure the ceiling fans are off – they do enjoy the freedom.
Now with all that done – they are going to relax – and well, they must get rid of some of that food and water they had. Ripped up newspapers, cedar chips, grit paper and a host of other products that are disposable can be put in the bottom of the cage and must be renewed regularly. Try to find a cage that is easy to clean – it sure saves a lot of time.
Finally the day ends and it is the only time they are semi-quiet. Those budgies still chatter when they are napping during the day. I cover the cage at night and this usually stops the chatter and they are all tucked in but.... I have a cockatiel. Many nights I have had to rush out to see what was after my birds and could not figure out what the problem was until I found out that cockatiels suffer from night fright and often in the middle of the night they scare themselves and the rest of the birds too. The noise is unbelievable. I have now installed a night light behind the cage and everyone sleeps much better.
Another thing to think about is where you are going to put the cage or cages. You will need either a stand or a table top of some sort that is away from direct sunlight, heaters, and toxic plants. Birds will chew anything they can get their little beaks on and plants that are within easy reach of the cage will either look like a lace doily or be gone altogether. As some of those plants can be toxic to birds so you either have to know which plants can make them sick or it is probably easier to just keep them away from the cage.
Now it is time to bring home that new pet!!
