A bird as a pet? Why not?

Birds can be loyal and cheerful companions, yet they’re not the most popular pets—often because people aren’t sure how to care for them properly. But in reality, it’s not that difficult! It’s important to consider the species you have, as there are key differences between straight-beaked and curved-beaked birds. Additionally, you’ll need to decide whether your birds are best kept indoors or outdoors.

Tip #1: Check the beak!

Proper beak care is essential for birds. There are two main types: curved and straight. Parakeets and parrots have curved beaks and love to chew, which helps naturally wear down their beak. That’s why it’s important to provide high-quality, beak-friendly toys to keep them engaged and healthy. Birds with straight beaks, like canaries, don’t require as much beak maintenance, so this is less of a concern for them.

How to truly pamper your songbirds

Songbirds love living in pairs or groups—when alone, they can become quite sad. They also thrive in a spacious cage with plenty of perches or branches to fly to. Adding nesting boxes or blocks is also a great idea to keep them comfortable and happy!

Indoors or outdoors?

Should you keep your birds indoors or outdoors? Birds love fresh air, and sunlight is great for their health. However, not every bird can live outside year-round. Before getting a bird, make sure to gather enough information to provide the best care possible—you want to keep your new feathered friend happy and healthy!

Why foraging toys are truly amazing?

With foraging toys, you can feed your feathered friends in a playful way. Your pets are creatively challenged to "earn" their treats, keeping them engaged and stimulated. This makes birds happier and more alert—and a happy pet means a happy owner!
