Play Top Bird Cages

See our helpful chart with general information on selecting bird cages by size and breed.

Play top bird cages are among the most popular styles because people want their pets to be happy and well adjusted. Most birds absolutely need time out of their cage every day. Play top bird cages will allow your pet to perch or play on the cages highest point, which they will naturally gravitate to. Instinctively, parrots and other birds feel secure in high spots in your home, just as they do in the wild.

Play top bird cages come in a variety of styles. Avian Adventures has a clever design in their lift-off play top bird cages. Just lift off the play top and set it on a table in another room. The idea (and it’s a good one) is to provide your bird a different environment to play in, to keep things fresh and interesting for your pet.

Remember, a bored bird is apt to cause trouble if they are forced to come up with their own ideas for fun things to do.

When it comes to making a selection among play top bird cages, your first considerations are the same as with any other purchase of a bird cage: you’ll want a big enough cage for the breed and size of your bird; safe sturdy construction; and a guarantee that it’s made with non-toxic, bird-safe materials. After that, it’s all about play time!

While it is admittedly a constant challenge for any responsible bird owner to continually come up with fun, new things to keep their bird happily at play, it is for most a labor of love. Instead of feeling like it’s a responsibility or chore, most folks out there are having just as much fun as their pet. In addition to having play top bird cages, a lot of owners also get creative and make their own bird-safe toys. (Apparently there is some pleasure in seeing how long a creation of one’s own can last before being completely destroyed.)

But on a serious note, birds actually need to play and that’s why play top bird cages are so popular. Birds are extraordinary, intelligent creatures that need mental stimulation, and they get that from playing. That’s why there are so many bird toys on the market. You don’t have to look far to find bright, shiny, colorful puzzles, nosiemakers, foot toys, preeners, chewables, and shredables, etc.

But those toys are mostly used inside the cage, while play top bird cages give an opportunity to play outside the cage, as do play stands. And it’s important for most birds, especially larger ones, to spend quality time outside of their cage every day. Quality time = play time. Having one of our play top bird cages will make it easy to establish a daily routine. Just take your bird out of the cage and place him up on the play top.
