Without a doubt, cockatiels are beautiful birds and make for wonderful pets in any home. The biggest issue with this kind of bird will be choosing the right type of cockatiel bird cage. Here are some tips on what to look for.

When you go to pick out any bird cage, whether for a cockatiel, parrot or other exotic bird, be sure you understand the needs of the bird first.

A cockatiel is a pretty small bird relatively speaking, but they like to have a lot of room to move around. This makes getting a large bird cage a must.

As you may already know, a cockatiel is a ground feeder and spends most of its time walking around scouring the ground for food. Therefore, your pet will need to have at least an 18″ x 18″ area. If you can swing it, find an even bigger bird cage. They will be happy with the extra room.

Another important area to be aware of is keeping the cage clean. This is where a grated bottom will work well. It allows bird dropping and used food to fall through to the bottom tray and makes for an overall healthier bird.

The height of a cockatiel bird cage is not so much an important consideration as is the ground size.

Also, the materials that make up the cage are strictly a personal choice. You can find cages made from plastic, iron, wood and many others as well. Just be sure your bird can’t get its head stuck in the cage. Bar spacing is something you will want to watch out for.

Buying your cockatiel a few toys and accessories will also make for a happier bird. Keep these tips in mind when selecting a bird cage and you will not have any problems in keeping your pet happy and healthy.

There is much more details on his website.    Below is a photo of J. L. LeMone and an email from The Tall One.

Dear Andrew,

A while ago, you featured a picture of my cockatiel, J. L. LeMone, on your blog. I am very sad to let you and your readers know that, after being with me for 7 years, he passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 14. I am going to keep his cockatiel blog, http://tielweekly.blogspot.com/, going in his honor. I was wondering if you could place the attached picture of him on your Bird A Day blog as a tribute to him.

Thank you very much!

The Tall One
