Adding style with a decorative bird cage

The use of decorative bird cages as a style statement is becoming ever more popular and they are available in a number of different materials, bamboo, wood and various types of metal (stainless steel, bronze or copper).

Wooden or bamboo bird cages are often more decorative but should only be used to house fake birds as they are more difficult to keep clean and can become unhygienic if they are used to house a real bird. If you are having your home redesigned by an interior designer you can often get you bird cage designed so that it fits in with the new theme of your home.

If you intend to house a real bird in your decorative bird cage you are probably better served to buy a metal cage of some kind, as this type of cage is more easily maintained.  However because this type of cage is usually heavier that its wooden or bamboo counterpart you should make sure that the hook or stand that you are using can carry the extra weight. You should also be careful when choosing the colour of the bird cage, stainless steel quite often will fit in no matter what your colour scheme, however if you go for a bronze or copper coloured cage you should make sure that it will fit in with the colour scheme of your home.

Decorative bird cages often look more attractive when hung on a matching decorative stand, but again the same amount of care should be taken when choosing the stand as you do when choosing the cage. If the cage is going to house a real cockatiel or parrot you need to make sure that cage is big enough so that the birds have enough room. You may also want to add some nice decorative accessories to the cage so that your bird can occupy and exercise itself, such as a swing or a slide.

You need also to be aware that although decorative bird cages that contain real birds are very pleasing to the eye, birds can sometimes be noisy and unless you clean their cages regularly can also cause unpleasant smells around the house.  You should therefore choose carefully where you will situate your cage and make sure that you clean the cage at least every other day if not every day.
