Collection: Bird

Bird supplies house and care for pet birds — a bird cage large enough or a bird aviary sized to the species, plus perches, feeders and enrichment. The right cage depends entirely on the bird: a budgie needs less than a large parrot, but every bird needs room to spread and flap its wings fully. Bar spacing must suit the species too. Think about your bird's size and species, indoor cage or outdoor aviary, and giving enough room for natural movement.

What size cage does a bird need?

A bird cage must let the bird fully spread and flap both wings without touching the sides, and move freely between perches — bigger is always better, since birds are active and a cramped cage harms their health. The minimum depends on the species: a budgie or finch needs less than a cockatiel, and a parrot cage needs to be large with room to climb and play. Wider is more useful than tall, since birds fly horizontally. Bar spacing must suit the bird so it can't get its head stuck or escape. Size the cage generously to the species and check the bar spacing.

Cage or aviary?

The choice depends on space and how many birds:

• Bird cage: an indoor home for one or a few birds, letting them live inside as part of the household, with daily out-of-cage time for tame birds.
• Aviary: a large outdoor enclosure giving birds room to properly fly, suiting several birds or larger species, with shelter from weather and predators.

Choose an indoor cage for a pet bird kept inside, or an aviary for more birds and genuine flying room outdoors.

What does a bird cage need inside?

A bird needs more than bars to stay healthy and happy. Perches of varying thickness exercise the feet and prevent sores, and natural-branch perches suit best. Food and water dishes should be easy to reach and clean. Toys and enrichment — bells, ladders, foraging toys — keep an intelligent bird occupied, since boredom causes problems like feather plucking. A cage cover helps settle a bird at night. Line the base for easy cleaning. Position the cage out of draughts and direct sun. A cage set up with varied perches, food access, toys and the right position keeps a bird well.

Common questions

What size cage does a bird need?
Big enough to fully spread and flap both wings without touching the sides, and move between perches — bigger is better. The minimum depends on the species, with parrots needing far more than budgies.

Why does bar spacing matter?
Bars too wide let a small bird escape or trap its head; too narrow suits smaller birds. Match the bar spacing to the species so the bird is safe and secure in its cage.

Cage or aviary for my birds?
A cage suits one or a few birds kept indoors with out-of-cage time; an aviary gives several birds or larger species genuine flying room outdoors, with shelter from weather and predators.

What goes inside a bird cage?
Perches of varying thickness, easy-clean food and water dishes, toys and foraging enrichment to prevent boredom, and a cover for night. Position it out of draughts and direct sun.
