One of the most important decisions is choosing the best cage for your cockatiel. It is one of the most important because this will be his home, the place where he spends the majority of his day. Cockatiels want to be comfortable and love their home just like us humans do. We spend a lot of time furnishing our homes to be comfortable places for us to hang out (easy chair, TV remote handy, soft blanket, lush carpet etc). Your cockatiels cage should be no different. Here are some of the essentials for your pets comfort. Cage- Your cockatiel cage should be large enough so he can extent his wings fully without touching the sides of the cage in any direction. This is so he can flap around contentedly and keep his wings exercised while he is in his cage. You should have several perches of varying diameters in the cage so your cockatiels feet dont become fatigued as he perches. Essential Furnishings It goes without saying that you need containers of food and water at all times for your cockatiel. Be sure to place them in a location away from under the perches that your cockatiel hangs out most of the time. You dont want to contaminate them with feces and feathers. Also essential are toys for your pet. Cockatiels are very active and curious birds and hate to be bored. So keeping them supplied with plenty of toys keeps them busy and occupied like they enjoy. Even so, be sure your cockatiel gets to spend some time outside of the cage bonding and hanging out with you. You may even set up a play area outside of the cage for your cockatiel to hang out, chew and play in. By equipping him with his own area outside the cage, he will be more apt to not chew on your furnishings and valuables in your home. He will still need to be trained to stay away from those areas of the house. Cockatiels love to bathe so furnish them with a bathing dish. A lot of cockatiel owners just put in a shallow bowl-type container. If you opt for this kind of container, just make sure you change the water daily. A better option is a bath that fits in the opening of the cage door. This one is easy to remove and clean daily. These are some of the essentials of choosing and furnishing your cockatiels cage. This will get you started off on the right foot and help keep your pet cockatiel happy. Shari Hickman is a bird lover with over 25 years experience raising cockatiels, finches and parakeets.
