Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Furnishing Your Bird Room-4 Must-Haves For a Fabulous Home Aviary

Preparing your home for a bird can be exciting
and challenging. Here are 4 things to include
that will make your home aviary a great place for
you and your bird.

A Safe and Spacious Cage---One of the most
important things to have is a place where your
bird can be kept safely. A stainless steel cage
is one of the best investments you can make.
Yes, initially it is more expensive than cages
made of other materials, but it will last,
making it cost effective in the end. Stainless
steel is also safe for birds and easy to clean.

Proper sizing is crucial. A cage that is too
small is similar to making a person spend its
entire life in a closet. And just like a person,
a bird's mental and emotional health can suffer
because of cramped quarters.

This space for your bird, even though enclosed,
should be big enough for it to fly, tall enough
for it to move to several different levels, and
spacious enough so they are not forced to
defecate in the food and water dishes.

Safe Play Area Outside the Cage----It is
important to let your bird fly free for several
hours each day. This will give you and chance
to interact one on one, and keep their wings
healthy and strong.

Having a designated play area will keep your
bird engaged in activities that are safe, and
focus attention on toys that designed for it.
This lessens the chances that it will chew on or
damage things that it shouldn't.

Include perches, brightly colored toys, and
swings with bells. Foraging toys are great for
keeping your bird engaged. Be sure to check the
condition of toys frequently to make sure they
are safe. Rotate toys both inside and outside
of the cage so that your bird doesn't get bored.

Low Maintenance Décor---Encourage
yourself to spend time in the room by furnishing
it with comfortable sofas and chairs. Choose
covering that can be wiped clean, vacuumed, or
washed to keep dust and dander levels to a
minimum. Choose flooring that can be thoroughly
cleaned (linoleum, tile, or wood) and window
coverings that hold less dust---vertical blinds,
shutters, or shades.

Using furnishings that encourage you to spend
time in the room will help you foster a strong
relationship with your pet. And studies have
shown that happy pets (and people too) live
longer, healthier lives.

Air Filtration System---Most home filters that
are a part of the heating and air conditioning
systems are not designed to adequately handle the
additional particles that your feathered friend
will produce. That is why an air cleaner in
your room is a must.

Dander, feathers, and dust can remain airborne
which means both you and your bird are forced to
breathe in air that is filled with particles,
both visible and invisible. Because avian air
passages are so small, it doesn't take much to
clog them. And clogged air passages often lead
to disease and infection which can greatly
reduce the life span of your bird.

Using a HEPA (or high efficiency particle
arresting) air purifier will keep particulate
levels low, and help reduce the airborne
irritants that can trigger asthma and allergy
flare-ups in humans. It will also reduce the
amount of cleaning you will need to do each day.
