If you live in a Court Yard Garden or a flat and do not have room for a large pet, this could be the answer for you.

INTRODUCTION

Attending to your birds is a serious responsibility. It begins with making a well-informed decision before placing a cage in the garden and going to the pet shop to perchase a few birds. There are very serious things to consider first.

Before you decide on a cage you must consider these things:-
1/ A metal cage must be protected from hot direct sun during the hot summer days.
2/ Do not place in a very windy or draughty position.
3/ Make sure that sprinklers are not squirting water right through the cage.
4/ Placing the cage just under the drip line edge of a deciduous tree. This will shade the cage in summer and let any sun during the autumn and winter months warm the cage.

WHY DO YOU NEED A PET BIRD?
Birds make good companions, are an enjoyment to observe, and they saturate a garden with sound including attracting other wild birds to visit your garden. Each bird has his or her own personality (just like Humans), but there are similarities in character and general action within the bird species.
You should first decide what are the highlights of having birds is most important to you.
Here are a few examples I first looked at when I first started:-
Canaries are known for sweet voices as they sing, their colour, and their activity.
Finches are extremely social and are best kept as pairs or groups where they will form bonds.
A single parakeet or cockatiel may be more suitable if you want a companion bird. If you want a talker, consider a Budgerigar or a Parrot.

CAN I AFFORD A PET BIRD?
In addition to the cost of the bird, you will need a cage large enough to accommodate the bird or birds, a quality of food, water and feed containers, perches and toys.

SELECTING THE RIGHT TYPE OF CAGE
It is important that the cage you select will fit into your garden which surrounds it.

SPARE TIME TO LOOK AFTER THE BIRD AND CAGE
Some people tend to think they can just put a bird in a cage and take care of its basic needs for food, water, and cage cleaning. It is not fare to the birds after they has become attached to you and you decide to give them away to someone else just because there is not enough time to care for them. Despite the popularity of parrots and other large birds, their lifespan and necessity for devoted companionship, regular psychological and physical stimulation, are beyond the awareness of the average person.
Most birds will respond to repetition and reward, so to train a bird you must be gentle and have lots of patience. The bird you have selected could be more approachable to training during specific times of the day. You must be voluntary to accommodate its schedule.
Cleaning up the bird seed and bird manure from the floor of the cage is not always of most people's interest or likes, so think twice before you decide on having birds for a hobby.
You must be advised that a lot of small birds will live from seven to ten years and many large bird species can live to fifty years or more.
Do not keep more birds than you can handle.
