Small plexiglass bird cages are a great way to keep birds in their cages and also allow humans to view the birds in their homes.
What kind of cages uses plexiglass?
Generally small plexiglass bird cages are designed for birds that need to live in groups, such as finches. To accommodate a pack of birds, it's advisable to build or purchase an aviary. An aviary is a larger cage that has a plexiglass front so you can look at your birds while also keeping them safe from the elements and predators.
A thing or two about aviaries
Aviaries are becoming increasingly popular. In fact, some businesses are opting to have aviaries instead of large fish tanks. As mentioned before, aviaries are a good place to house multiple birds and small plexiglass bird cages give you constant visual access to the birds. Any aviary that you will put in your house will probably host smaller birds.
You can build an aviary, but if you're not handy and don't know how to follow instructions, you'd better consider buying an aviary. Before you do, find an area in your house or business that is large enough to host an aviary, is protected from drafts and doorways and will not be in the way of the flow of traffic. The last thing you want is for someone to come charging through the room only to knock over your aviary. Though these small plexiglass bird cages won't shatter, knocking the aviary over will at the very least stun and traumatize the birds.
Aviaries create a healthy environment
Small birds that are kept in captivity need enough room to move around. Small birds need to get their exercise just like dogs do. However, because we don't put a bird on a leash and take the bird for a jaunt around the block, it's imperative that small plexiglass bird cages have enough space to allow the bird to fly around. Flying lets the bird exercise its wings and its legs. Birds that are forced to sit on a perch 24 hours a day seven days a week frequently develop joint problems.
Small plexiglass bird cages create a healthy environment for the birds because the birds like to see what's going on. However, when you're getting ready to put your cage up, keep in mind that they don't like to know what's happening on every front. Birds like to feel secure and will be much more relaxed if one side of the cage is up against a wall. Then they know they're safe on at least one side. So, put the small plexiglass bird cages against a wall or in a corner of your house or business.
