| Housing your birds is an important part of keeping them healthy! Many pet stores sell cages that are far too small for the average bird. A single finch or canary may do well in a smallish, decorative cage, but this is really not enough room and can shorten the life of your feathered friend! |
| When purchasing a new water dispenser, be sure it is the correct type for your style of cage! It is very frustrating to come home with a new dispenser only to find it won't fit through the cage bars! |
QUICK TIP
| Moving birds from one location to another, such as from the pet store to your home, can cause the birds stress. Be sure to purchase a cage and set it up with food, water, appropriate perches, and anything else you feel necessary, BEFORE you purchase your bird. And before you buy, check out this link and decide if bird keeping is really for you! |
| Finches are typically very small, fragile birds. The proper cage type and size will protect them from unexpected mishaps. |
