"Fids" are Feathered Kids

Bird Breeds

Cages

*Your birds primary cage should be as large as you can afford.

-Make sure that there is enough room for your bird to spread his wings and flap around a bit.

    This is the cage that I got for Kendi. It is 65 inches tall from the floor to the top, 36 inches wide, and 25.5 inches deep. It was delivered in two boxes and took about two hours for my husband and I to put it together. I have to admit that I got a real good deal regarding my cage. The cost of the cage itself was $123 and shipping was $89, so for a total of $212 I got a cage that would cost at least $500 retail.

Birds are social animals so cage placement is important. Put were your bird can be part of the daily happenings.

-Some folks have a separate cage for sleeping also. - sleep cages can be smaller, a travel cage will work well

This "suitcase style" cage is what I will be bringing Kendi home in and it will serve as his 'sleep' cage at night. It is 24" x 17" x 20"  I bought from my breeder for $35.

- There are also cages and carriers for taking your bird with you for walks.

This is an "Adventure Pack". There are straps on the side not showing that go over your shoulders 'back-pack' style. They cost anywhere from $60 to $100 but they can double as a sleep or travel cage.

Acrylic cages range in price from $75 up, depending on the size needed for your bird. - my opinion, there doesn't seem to be enough airflow and it would get hot inside if in the sunlight.

A less expensive carrier about $25.

- birds like to chew and the mesh 'windows'on this one may be appealing

* There are so many options available in cages & carriers. When looking for one consider what purpose it will have. - will it be for daily living in, sleeping, seeing the sights, or travel?

Ebay can be a great source for buying at lower prices. 

Be sure to check a sellers 'feedback' and add shipping cost to each item BEFORE you bid.
