It is important to look at bird cages from two different aspects—yours and your birds.   To your bird it is his/her house, play ground, diner and bed. To you it is part of your décor and also another item that must be cleaned and taken care of. You must choose a style and color that fits your surrondings but also is compatibe for your bird.  If it is a small bird cage, you may need to upgrade to a larger cage as it is not good for the bird.

Hammertone (where metallic paint is blended with color) cages and powder-coated (where paint is adhered to metal via electrostatic charges) is the most common and affordable. The stainless steel bird cage has no coating for your bird to mar, resists the formation of bacteria, typically made of an all-weld construction, won’t chip like painted cages, and its non-porous structure is very easy to clean and sanitize,free from the potentially dangerous nuts and bolts that are often made from harmful lead or zinc. But cost almost double what a hammertone or powder-coated cage costs.

The standard metal wire cages are the most economical but also the most bland and boring. Do you want a wooden or bamboo bird cage?  Also important is the size of the cage. Where will you put this cage?  How big will the bird become. The cage should be 1-1/2 times bigger then the bird so it can stretch and flap wings without harm to hisself. He also needs room to play and entertain hisself.  All of these factors go into decideding on the cage which in turn determines the bird cage stand.
