Birdfarm.com has everything available to make your new bird's life enjoyable, healthy, happy, and content! We know birds, because all we do is birds, and we're available seven days a week to answer any questions or concerns you might have before, during, and even AFTER your purchase!

So here's a check list of necessary things, as well as just plain fun things, to consider for your new bird's home.

And, as always, phone us TOLL FREE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, if you have any questions about the items suggested.

• An appropriate sized cage for your bird's species. Something that still has plenty of room for flapping wings even after you hang toys and perches inside.


• A name brand pelleted diet for your bird's daily consumption. Two or more different sized perches -- We always suggest rope or sisal for the young birds, it's easier to grip and hang on to.


• Some type of mineral/calcium block for the cage.


• A dark colored cage cover to help your bird feel safe and secure while sleeping at night, as well as protect him from drafts.


• Several different toys, especially wooden ones, to chew and keep his beak in good condition. Rotate toys regularly so he's not bored.


• A stand of some type for your bird to be placed on when he's out of his cage spending time with you.


• Some type of secure carrying container. These can be a simple pet crate to an acrylic case that is not only comfy, but not scary to your bird because it's clear and your bird can see where it is going.


• An emergency kit in case of a broken blood feather, injury, etc.

And just for fun, you might consider purchasing some of the following suggestions:

• A thermo perch for cool weather and even in hot weather with air conditioning running. You won't need to worry so much about keeping your bird's room warm or having it too cool.


• A shower perch so that your bird can accompany you for those necessary bath times. These perches also work great in a window or in the car!


• A play stand. With wheels, a play stand can go anywhere you might want to take your bird. Family room, patio, sunny Florida room, etc.


• A harness or flight suit. These are wonderful for your bird to travel with. A flight suit allows for a "diaper" system for your bird.


• Food treats. Things like peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, fruit, or any of the many, many packaged treats available for birds. But remember, these things are TREATS only and should not replace a healthy pelleted diet or good people food like veggies in your bird's diet.


• A good book about parrot health and caring for your bird.

And don't forget MORE toys!
Probably one of the most important things in your birds world to keep him happy, stimulated, and entertained!
