			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Owning a parakeet can be so fun. These birds are very beautiful and they are smart too. Of course you need to learn about the proper care for one of these birds before you decide to purchase one. This way you are sure that your new parakeet will be happy and life a full life. One important thing to remember when it comes to the care of your parakeet is to choose the right parakeet cages.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">You will need to make sure you have the right parakeet cages to keep your new parakeet happy. Make sure that the cage is designed for this type of a small bird. The cage should have bars that have very small gaps in between them. It is also a great idea to purchase a large cage. Find the biggest cage that you are able to buy so that the bird has enough room.</p>

</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you purchase parakeet cages, it is a good idea to have a nice swing for the bird. A couple perches should be in the cage as well. It is a good idea to put a cuttlebone in the cage too. This way your parakeet is able to trim down his beak when it needs to.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Keeping parakeet cages clean is going to be very important as well. It is a good idea to go with a cage that has a drawer that you can open to carefully clean up the floor. You can put down special paper on the floor of the cage so that the droppings will be absorbed. It is a good idea to choose a cage that actually has a special grate that is above the very bottom so the bird won&#8217;t be on the bottom when it is dirty.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Positioning your parakeet cages in the right place is very important as well. You need to make sure you keep the cage off the floor and put it in an area that is free from drafts. You don&#8217;t want your bird to get cold. If you are afraid of a cold draft during the cooler months, you can use towels to cover part of the cage up to keep the draft from being on your bird.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Planning to purchase a parakeet of your own? If so, then you will want to make sure that you purchase<strong> parakeet cages</strong> first. This way you have it ready when you bring home your new bird. Since this will be the place that your parakeet is going to spend a whole lot of time, you need to make sure that you pick out a good one that the bird will be comfortable in. Here are four great tips that can help you to make the right choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One tip for picking out the right parakeet cages is to make sure you pick out the right <strong>shape for the cage</strong>. You&#8217;ll find that there are a variety of different shapes out there that you can choose from. Of course, it is best to go with one that is shaped like a rectangle. <strong>Avoid going with the round cages</strong> because your bird will never feel that he is safe. These birds like to have a wall that they can retreat back to when they feel fearful.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-92"></span>Another tip for purchasing parakeet cages is to look for the best material. These cages come in various materials. Some are made of galvanized steel, others are made of brass, some are stainless steel, and there are even iron options. These are not great options. <strong>Birds love chewing, and the metal could make them sick or even kill them</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Consider the <strong>size of the cage</strong> when you are making up your mind and purchasing parakeet cages. This is very important because you don&#8217;t want to purchase a cage that is going to be too small. Your parakeet will need to have plenty of room to move and stretch out his wings. Go with a large cage so that he has enough room.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Last of all, consider the<strong> bar spacing</strong> when you are <strong>purchasing parakeet cages</strong>. Make sure that the bars are not too far apart. You don&#8217;t want your new bird to be able to stick out his head, but then get it stuck in the bars. It is a good idea to go with bars that are ½ inch apart or even smaller for the best results.</p>
