what is in the bird cages at the pet stores?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

in the pet shops in the birds cages, there is some sort of mixture of small stone and crushed shells. What is it exactly, and where can you get it?What does it do ?

It’s called grit. It contains crushed stone and/or oyster shell. All pet stores that carry other bird supplies should have it. It’s a calcium supplement and it also supplies the gizzard with material to help grind food. As long as other calcium sources are provided, it’s not needed more than once every couple months. Too much can cause digestive irritation, especially in smaller birds.

my cat brought in a small bird, what do i do?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

well a couple a days ago my cat brought in a little bird, i dont know what kind it is but im thinking it might be a sparrow.
it cant really fly cause my cat pulled feathers out of it.
would it be ok to take care of it until it can fly, then release it.

we have many bird cages and even bird food.

what should i do?

The bird will need to go to a vet that sees injured wildlife or a wildlife rehabber in your area. both free for wildlife. Birds that have been caught by a cat are usually punctured somewhere on the body. If so then will need meds or it will die from infection that is deadly caused by a dangerous bacteria in the cats saliva. If not wounds and you are sure of it. Keep in dim lit room in a small cage with food and water and keep it warm. If there is a wing droop or any thing else that appears wrong bring to vet or rehabber as well. Best chance of it living would be to get to a wildlife rehabber who can get it any treatment it needs and evaluate it and then release when ready into wild again. I would also put a bell on your cats collar to warn wildlife or its presence.

Are wrought iron bird cages safe and are they a good material for a conure’s cage?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I’m getting a small conure and I see a lkot of wrought iron bird cages for sale. Is that a good material? What are some other good materials for bird cages?

Stainless steel is good but very expensive. Buy a cage with powder coating so that it’s nto dangerous to your bird. :) wrought iron sounds ok, but never buy decorative wood cages since a conure could EASILY chew through it in an hour and then escape. Wrought iron is ok for smaller conures, jsut be careufl. You get what you pay for.

Where can I find good bird cages?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I’m looking to find small to medium sized bird cages at a fair cost. If anyone knows where I can find some that’d be great. Or do you think it is cheaper to build one?

Hi, I’d recommend a warehouse pet store.
You should aim to have a cage that is at least four times as wide as your birds wingspan, this allows them plenty of room to exercise.
A wider cage is preferred to a tall and cylindrical cage.
What country do you live in? I live in Australia and get my bird cages from Better Pets & Gardens, and spend up to $300 per cage. Cost is nothing compared to the happiness of your pet.
Good luck.
