Bird Care Delivery or Pickup

When you need to choose toys and cage decor for your bird, safety always comes first. Be sure not to give birds anything they could accidentally swallow or something that might entangle them. Some excellent bird toys include interactive choices that are mentally stimulating and encourage them to get some exercise. Some great options include the following items:

A birdcage should be at least twice the size of your bird's wingspan and even wider if you are housing multiple birds in a cage. Stainless steel cages are a long-lasting, affordable option with thinly spaced bars to keep your bird from getting out. You'll want to inspect the bottom grate to make sure it's easy to clean. When you're choosing from among many types and sizes of birdcage, consider the following:

Birds are loving and social creatures that enjoy being a part of your home. Consider putting your birdcage in your living room or somewhere close by where your bird can feel included in your daily activities. Avoid putting the cage anywhere near the kitchen or other places where smoke or exhaust fumes from cooking can gather. Some birds don't like hot or cold temperatures; keep cages away from any drafts or direct sunlight. 

Some bird owners keep a second, smaller cage in a quieter part of the house to encourage the birds to sleep. The bedroom is an excellent location because your bird won't feel lonely at night, and it's quieter than other parts of your home.

It's important to give your birds a varied diet and feed them in a way that mimics how they eat in the wild. You'll want to use foods safe for the species and keep the food stored properly to keep it from spoiling. 

Birds enjoy cuttlefish bones, which give them plenty of essential nutrients and calcium. Fill your cart with all types of nutritious bird food and treats via the Instacart app, which can save you time going to a pet store.
