COMPANION BIRDS don’t have the luxury of spreading their wings for an annual trip south, so bird owners have a responsibility to make sure they have a well-appointed home to nest. This selection of bird cages has something for everyone — modern styles offering perfect visibility; seed-catchers engineered to keep homes free of irksome bird debris; even spacious models perfect for big birds and multi-bird collections.
Seed Catchers Catch On
Clean-up is the most time-consuming part of bird ownership, so many owners turn to cages with built in seed-catchers. Seed-catchers can be easily removed and will make quick work of a tedious chore. If you’ve got a customer who is new to bird ownership, be sure to sell them on the idea of cages that do the bulk of the dirty work for them.

Big Cages Offer Living Space
Owners with large or multiple birds will hear their pets sing a sweeter song when they have room to flap around. Though pricey, aviary-style cages offer more than a cage — they give birds a real living space. Some designs fit into corner spaces to save owners square-footage. And added to a spare room or a screened-in porch, birds can feel closer to the great outdoors.
