Cockatiel Cages

For a happy, healthy cockatiel companion, it is essential to house them in an appropriate habitat in regards to both dimensions and bar spacing to help prevent escape or injury. Providing your cockatiel with all of the essentials in their home will help make them feel comfortable in or out of their habitat.

Cockatiel habitats should include multiple perches of varying diameters and textures to help keep your cockatiel's feet healthy and nails trimmed. Adding a variety of toys and a play top in the bird cage are a great way to provide extra enrichment for your cockatiel. Prevent undesired behaviors by providing mentally stimulating activities and prevent boredom in your cockatiel's habitat. An ideal cockatiel habitat includes a metal grate over a tray to keep birds clean from droppings and to secure food and water bowls to prevent spillage or contamination. Always invest in the largest cockatiel habitat possible to provide your feathered friend enough room to exercise and a place to call home, sweet home!
