Many people do not share the idea of having a bird locked in a cage and I perfectly understand what they mean: wildlife enthusiasts have beautiful birds locked up in tiny rooms, stripping them of their essence.
However, people like me, bird lovers, cannot imagine a life without listening to the beautiful songs they emit and observing their delicate movements.
These are intelligent, social, cute and cheerful animals. Birds give life to a home and fill our lives with melody and happiness. Discover on our site the benefits of having birds.
1. You will wake up every day with beautiful melodies
The birds wake up with the first light of day, although if you usually cover them at night, you can delay that moment a bit. As they do, they flood the house with beautiful morning songs.
If you are an optimistic person who appreciates music, you will certainly be pleased to hear them emit their unmistakable sounds. Among the birds that sing the best we can find the canary (or Serinus canaria domestica) a true delight of a bird.

There are truly spectacular and amazing birds that will delight you just looking at them. Their vivid colors and eccentric plumages will surprise anyone who visits your home. Having birds is really a beautiful thing.

5. You can have different birds together
Certain species are capable of living together in a spacious cage without problem. For example: we can bring together canaries and goldfinches or mandarin and isabelite diamonds from Japan. We can also bring together specimens of the same species, as happens with parakeets or lovebirds.
Yes, you must inform yourself adequately of the different types of birds that exist and have an extra cage in case conflicts arise between the different birds.

As occurs in almost all animal species, we find in birds very restless animals that love to play Provide them with toys such as swings or ladders It will not only amuse them, but us too, since it is a joy to see them enjoy. Of course, avoid using mirrors since they cause stress.
Finally add that they also love water, and in addition to cooling them in summer it also helps keep their feathers clean. Surprise yourself by leaving a small container with water, you'll see!
In short: having a bird is a very beautiful experience that brings us closer to nature and to the special sensitivity that these animals have. Of course, they are very delicate animals that must be properly cared for so that they show themselves in all their splendor and enjoy a proper life as they would in their natural state.
