This is a great temporary cage! When you have to deep clean out their large one, place them in an area that is natural wood/plant and stimulating. For long term, Combine it all together into one mini forest! That would look amazing!
Research? Research suggests that you should not cage a bird AT ALL. there's a reason why the sky is their playing field. Have you ever been confined in a small space for long periods of time and you're only allowed out for certain periods of time and only during certain times of the day? Sounds alot like prison or jail. I feel like caging a bird, in general, is abusive.
@@mysticgoddess1119 if it’s a wild bird, then it is bad. But we’ve got all these domesticated birds now, we can’t just let them free. To keep them happy, you need to provide a big cage, lots of toys, natural perches for foot health, a proper diet, and time to fly out of the cage. If you stay at home all day, you can have them be completely free around the house all day, only caged at night for sleep. Having a pet bird is fine as long as they are a domesticated bird, not a wild one and if you care for them properly, which is why research is necessary. If keeping a pet bird in a big cage with a variety of toys, perches, and a good diet is abusive, then using that logic keeping a pet dog is also abusive because they should free in the wild, not in your house or in a backyard, and leases are bad because they restrain movement (I don’t think that, I’m just using the same logic as you are)
@Birdie4life I absolutely agree with the dog thing too. None of these animals were supposed to be domesticated. Man domesticated animals instead of letting them be. The only animals you won't find naturally in the wild are dogs and house cats (unless you're in a foreign country where hyenas are considered wild dogs) these "domesticated" birds you speak of, like cockateals, cockatoos, budgies, love birds, parrots etc etc are not domesticated birds. They are birds you can still find naturally in the wild. But people where these birds are native, catch them, throw them in a cage and ship them here with a "domestic" stamp of approval. This notion that any animal outside of a dog or a house cat is domesticated is silly. The birds people keep in cages are not domestic, they are wild. Domestic just means "tamed and kept by humans as a food or work source or pet". If you do your research, you'll find that parrots, for instance, will never be domestic, even though people but them and stuff them in a cage. The dogs and cats that me and you know are domesticated. They don't exist in the wild, outside of being stray, or born to a stray, because man wiped their original species out through selective breeding. Hyenas will never be domesticated and either will lions and tigers. Birds are wild, my friend.
@@mysticgoddess1119 a domesticated bird is born and raised in human captivity, it’s those birds that don’t know how to hunt. Most people own cockatiels, or any other bird that were bred in human captivity (except for bigger parrots, I think most of those are wild caught), their parents and their parents being born and raised in captivity. Not every pet bird is caught from the wild, most being sold were born and raised in captivity. Sadly breeders don’t do a good job on making them trust humans We can’t just have every pet animal released, they’ll die. Could be from stress of being transported to their home county, or being hunted and killed in the wild, or starving because they can’t hunt. There’s nothing wrong with keeping a pet, whether it’s a bird, a dog, a cat, a lizard, etc as long as they are cared for properly. There’s no denying that dogs are really happy with their humans, or that cats are happy and relaxed in their cozy cat tree, or that a budgie is happy in a large cage with tons of toys. I have 6 canaries, they’d die in the wild. One complains too much and would keep calling me to give her food, one wouldn’t see what was going on (she’s half blind) one would eat a random leaf (thinking it was lettuce) and die because it wasn’t safe for her to eat, one would panic, looking for his friends (birds in the same house) one would be happy to have a huge place to fly, but die from starvation once she started looking for food, one would stay seated on the floor, scared, wondering where her cage went, her food, her sister, all her toys, and her favorite place to sleep would be gone. It’s too late to let them all be in the wild, it’s now our responsibility to care for all the domestic animals and keep them happy
@Birdie4life everyone will have their own view and opinions, yours is not wrong, just as much as mine is not wrong. Catching birds from the wild and breeding them for domestic sale is abuse too. They are still wild. They're just being forced into domestication for profit. Animal slavery. Same with dogs and cats and livestock. Animals being kept for pleasure (pleasure being companionship or work. Using an animal for work is still pleasure, because you're not the one out there dragging the fields, your horse is or bull or whatever you're using, which is more pleasurable than you working the fields without that livestock). We are a selfish, abusive species.
@@rajarshibhattacharjee1257 yeah great idea, setting domestically bred birds, who have 0 survival instincts, free to be ripped to shreds by predators or starve to death. great idea!
Well, it’s very nice for maybe just for a plant but these are flight birds meaning they need flight cages Not up and down cage. that would be for a lizard.
While i know the intent isnt bad, education is key here. Birds need width not height. Plants will be stripped down in months and they could be toxic. Lets set better expectation for would be bird owners.
I’m a new bird owner desperately searching the internet for info if you have any advice on setting up a canary cage plz reply with w.e you got I just got him a huge flight cage bc he was given to me in a small one. Just one juvenile canary thank you either way
I love the cage but make sure you have a wider cage.Also you need shredding and foraging toys to mimic what they would do in the wild.Another thing is that you need stainless steel bowls because plastic bowls collect bacteria more easily.Also they need more natural perches.Last the diet should be pellets 60%, Veggies 30%, And Fruits 10%.
Circle cages are bad for any bird , stresses them out if they don’t have a corner to hide and will kill, ur a moron if u keep any bird in a cage like that
I keep all of these birds in my house with no cages, you can see how happy they are on my RU-vid channel. I am always saddened by birds in cages, please there are alternatives to keeping birds
I see no problem with the size of the cage as long as you let them out to fly in the room. You have come along way from the old days when it was acceptable to house a bird in a cage where they only had enough room to stretch the wings out, with no room to fly at all. As long as you have made sure that the plants aren't poisonous to your birds(some are!) you have made a good effort to make your pet birds feel relaxed...They are.There's no signs of stress.
my birds were free, my dad got a dead tree and removed the leaves of it and washed it, we decorated a full space just for birds, there was a huge tree they fly around it and we put a small cage inside it food and water, made a hiding spot for my bird, but now because we didnt want to make the house so dirty, we had to keep them inside a cage.. atleast the cage is HUGE, it even has an extra small cage in the top, we did EVERYTHING they want!
I’d recommend you bake any sticks/branches you get outside before letting your bird play with it. Baking it will kill any parasites that could be on the wood
@@CutesyDaisy oh that's very incredible 😄! I would do that but im afraid that they will not play with it 😞 because my bird Cutie has a toy already that I made years ago and she still really plays with it, and my bird Kiwi plays with Cutie !
see I have no problem with the shape of the cage make it round, square, rectangle, triangle I have no problem but as a bird owner The cage should be wider
Shocking. Why do birds have wings.???????????? You are preventing them from flight. The noises they are making are probably distress calls. Yes Round cages are bad for all birds. Especially small ones.
That cage is too small for those poor birds. I can just tell by looking at how small this cage is that the owner never lets them out. Birds are not decorations they are living beings. 😢 Your Chanel should not be good idea but bad idea. 😂
They are not for decoration .. birds are not to be caged .. period .. its a sin to cage a living being which can fly into the open skies .. God has given them that capacity and those humans who cage birds fr their entertainment and decoration does a sin ... Imagine urself living in a nicely decorated cage fr life ... How wud u feel ??? If we humans being educated dont understand then who will ??? Just bcoz some people do this these birds are trapped abd caught to be sold in the markets as if they were some commodity .. they hv feelings .. and those feelings are shattered by humans who cage them and encourage others and the bird traffickers to supply 😭
