Parakeet Cage
After purchasing your brand new parakeet
cage, you need to decide where to put it. Should it go in the living room, dining
room or one of the kids’ bedrooms? You may think anywhere will do. After all, it’s
just a parakeet cage. Wrong!!
Deciding where to place the birdcage
is not as simple as you may think. In fact, if you accidentally pick the wrong spot
you could potentially kill your bird.
Here are 3 places you should NEVER
place your parakeet cage:
1.
The
Kitchen.
Certain non-stick cookware lets off
an odorless fume that is toxic to birds. If these fumes seep into your birdcage,
your beloved pet may have a very short life. In addition, parrots are sensitive
to temperature change. If you’re boiling water or have ovens running all day, your
bird could overheat and die. The kitchen is simply not a good place for your parakeet
cage.
2.
The
Hallway.
Hallways tend to be dark and have
heavy traffic. If you set your parrot cage up in this area of the house, your bird
is likely to become depressed. He’ll feel isolated and away from family members.
3.
The Basement.
Depending on the condition of your
basement, you may or may not want to place your birdcage here. If the basement is
drafty or cold, it is best to put the parakeet cage elsewhere. Otherwise your bird
could catch pneumonia and die. And remember parrots are sensitive to changes in
temperature. If it’s too hot or too cold, they won’t be able to handle it.
Where Do I Put My Parakeet
Cage?
So if not the kitchen, hallway or
basement…where is an ideal spot? Think of it this way. A bird needs to be part of
your life and family. Don’t stick your parakeet cage in some dark, isolated corner
and expect your bird to be happy. Instead, place the birdcage in the very heart
of the home—the living room. And if you’re worried about your décor, don’t. Simply
buy a decorative bird cage.
The Majestic birdcages come in enough
sizes, designs and colors to fit every preference. They have ornate wooden frames,
attractive hoods & stands and a variety of custom finishes. You can even add
a burst of style by ordering legs or a beautiful crown for the top.
If you want an avairy or flight cage,
the Suncatcher brand offers several bird aviaries that are simply elegant. They
are functional and spacious for your bird, but decorative for you. Some of these
aviaries even have an ornamental ball on the top, which is a real eye-stopper.
