Making Your Pet Bird Cages Beautiful

A pet owner brings bird's home because their beauty beguiles him. This beauty of birds has to be complemented by equally beautiful bird cages. There is no shortage of patterns for cages. The roofs of the cages may be variously arch-dome shaped, round dome shaped, flat, slope, conical, or play top. Even bird cages with ornate, decorative roofs, variously named Victorian or Valentine, are available in the market. Such cages often suit the aesthetic preferences of people who would like to have their bird cage to match their home pattern.

There will be a main door in all bird cages that can be kept fully locked. Besides that, there will be 2 or more feeder doors, and a grate and a bottom tray that can be slid out and replaced. The main door may open to the side or to the top. Except for very small cages that are designed to be hung around a home, all other bird cages come fitted with casters that make their transporting easy. Some are designed to be removed from the stand and carried by hand when necessary. With various combinations and sizes to choose from, the choice of most bird owners would have to depend on the size of the bird, and the space in their home where they hope to accommodate the cage.

One way of beautifying bird cages is by setting up perches, steps, and toys within the cage with the eye of an interior decorator. Readymade bird cages will have built in perches but users can increase the number of perches with natural twigs and branches, which will give a realistic, touch to the cage and will make the bird more comfortable. Unlike the built-in perch, the additional perches can be rearranged frequently to give a fresh look to the cage.

Keeping small colorful steps, made of cardboard or steel and stuck with colored papers, will make the bird cages attractive and will give some exercise to the bird as it will hop up and down those steps. Those who attempt to accommodate such addenda should also have the patience to redo it frequently since the birds will easily damage such paper objects by tearing at them with their beak and by spilling food and drink over it. Flowers on the perches will also beautify bird cages. When keeping flowers, whether natural or artificial, it should be confirmed beforehand that chewing them are not likely create any allergic or other negative reactions in the bird.

A caged bird is deprived of the natural ponds and puddles in which it can dunk now and then. Getting birdbaths can make this up. Colorful plastic bird baths are available that can be attached to the horizontal bars of the bird cages. These will satisfy the bird and beautify the cage at the same time. Attachable birdbaths will have locking clips with which they can be clipped and removed from the cage as necessary. And those who are innovative can use many leftover knickknacks of their home, and wild growth of the yard, to decorate and beautify their bird cages.
