bird room

Most pet bird owners want to provide the best and most stimulating environment they can for their avian companions. If you have the space in your house or apartment, one of the best ways to achieve this goal is to create a dedicated bird room. Spare bedrooms, porches, attics, basements, unused garages, and sunrooms all can serve as indoor bird rooms.

Based on your climate and species of bird in question, you may be able to build an outdoor aviary as well. Bird enthusiasts who cannot devote a whole room to their pet birds can build or purchase an indoor aviary that affords your birds more space while still enabling you to use the room for other purposes.
