Things I Bought So My Bird Would Stop Yelling
15
items Everything my bird actually uses, minus what got ignored or destroyed in a day. Food they'll eat, a cage setup that's easy to clean, and toys that keep them busy so they're not screaming at the wall. Good for new bird owners who don't know where to s...
I've bought this nine times, so I'm not guessing on this one. It's a seed mix with fruit and pellets folded in, plus probiotics for digestion and omega-3s for feathers. Mine actually eats the pellets instead of picking around them, which is the whole...
Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health Egg-Cite Food 3lb
Spray millet is the universal bird bribe. Every bird, every species, loses its mind for it. This is the good stuff: grown in the Midwest, sun-dried, and you're only paying for the edible tops instead of a box that's half stem. The sprays are fat and ...
Nemeth Farms Spray Millet - Edible Tops, 1 lb
The five-dollar thing every cage should have and half of them don't. Cuttlebone is calcium, and birds on a seed diet don't get enough of it. They chew on it when they need it, and the chewing keeps their beak worn down and in shape. That's it. No dos... The 3.5 to 4 inch size is right for budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, and conures. Bigger birds get the bigger sizes. If you've got a female bird, this matters even more. Egg laying pulls calcium hard and this is the easiest way to keep it up.
Birds LOVE 3.5-4″ Cuttlebone 2 Pack w/ Holder
The budget everyday food for budgies. A seed and grain mix with vitamins and omega-3s added, and enough variety in the blend that the bird actually has to forage through it instead of eating the same thing all day. It comes in a tub with a tear strip...
Wild Harvest Parakeet Food 4.5 lbs - Seeds & Vitamins
Bigger than you think you need. That's the rule with bird cages, and this one gets it right. It's wide instead of tall, which matters because birds fly side to side, not up and down. Plenty of room for a pair of budgies, a couple of finches, or one c...
Prevue Hendryx Wrought Iron Flight Cage 5 Ft
The step-up cage for bigger birds or anyone who wants room to grow. Tall, wide, and on wheels, with a play top on the roof so your bird has somewhere to hang out when the door's open. The seed guard around the bottom catches most of what gets flung, ...
Yaheetech 60.5in Large Metal Parrot Cage
Swap out the smooth dowel perches that came with the cage. They're the same diameter all the way across, so your bird's feet sit in the exact same position all day and that leads to sore feet and pressure spots over time. Natural branches have bumps,...
6 Pcs Natural Wood Bird Perch & Platform Set
The soft perch. It's a coiled rope spiral that hangs from the top of the cage and bounces a little when they land on it, and birds love it. It's easy on the feet after a day on hard branches, it's fun to climb, and a lot of birds pick it as their sle...
Petsvv Rope Bungee Bird Toy, Small
Ditch the plastic cups that came with the cage. These are stainless steel, so they don't scratch, don't hold smells, and go straight in the dishwasher. Each one clamps to the bars with a screw, so a bird who likes to flip its dish can't, and you can ...
PINVNBY Parrot Feeding Cups Stainless Steel - Pack of 6
Birds need to destroy things. It's not bad behavior, it's the job. Give them nothing to shred and they'll shred the cage liner, the perch, or their own feathers. This set is five hanging toys made of rattan, loofah, and crinkly paper, all safe to che...
EBaokuup Large Bird Cage Hanging Chewing Toy
Swings, a ladder, a hammock, hanging chew strings with beads and bells. It's the cheapest way to turn an empty cage into a playground, and because you get so many you can swap them around every couple of weeks so the bird thinks it's getting somethin...
Bird Parrot Swing Chewing Perch Hammock Toy
A proper wooden nest box with a hinged lid so you can peek in, a perch at the entrance, and a bag of nesting material to get them started. Solid pine, easy to hang inside or outside the cage, and it comes in sizes from budgie up to cockatiel. Here's ...
YJJKJ Wood Parakeet Nest Box with Pads
Two real coconut shells joined by a wooden rope ladder. Birds climb across, duck inside, chew on the husk, and generally treat it like a jungle gym. It's natural, it's chewable, and it gives a shy bird a spot to disappear to when the room gets loud. ...
Bird Hides Coconut Nest with Wood Ladder
HappyBird Full Spectrum Cage Light – M&M Cage Company Indoor birds live in bad light. A lamp across the room isn't the same as daylight, and it shows up in dull feathers, mood, and sleep. This is a full-spectrum light that mounts right on top of ...
HappyBird Full Spectrum LED Bird Cage Light
This is the actual UVB light. Birds need UVB to make vitamin D, and without it they can't use the calcium they're eating, no matter how much cuttlebone is in the cage. Indoor birds don't get any through a window, since glass blocks it. This kit is th...
