The principal point in the housing of birds is a correct feeding for them. As a rule the cage pets are a type of granivorous ones they are parrots, canaries, pigeons etc. Due to the name of this sort of birds people used to feed them only with seeds, that is not correct. But in truth such birds change their ration each time of the year in natural conditions. Birds like to vary their feed with different kinds of animal forages, vegetables, fruits, tree barks and so on. So, feed your bird with large diversity of forage and it will be healthy.

Nowadays one may purchase bulk bird seed almost everywhere, even on the web. You are to look after your birds and create natural conditions for them. That is why you have to feed them with various sorts of forage during the year.

There are many different cases when birds have the same forage for years and nothing occurs, but diseases not always show themselves in a rapid way. Ornithologists observe such diseases as the abnormality of molt, obesity, disorder of the reproductive function etc. All these cases are connected with incorrect feeding of birds. Vitamins and proteins are also needed for the birds' body because without them different infective diseases can appear.

The main part in a bird's nourishment must include grain blend. Different sorts of grains (wheat, millet, oats, maize and others) and seeds (canary seed, herbage seeds, seeds of lettuce) must be included in this blend because it is really useful for a bird's prosperity. Of course there must be oil-yielding crops such as sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, hemp seed and diverse nuts. Obesity can be provoked by oil-bearing seeds so you are to give little doses of them to elude overuse.

A quantity of crop forage must correspond to the daily standard of your bird. You can find that a canary would have only 1 teaspoon per day and Cockatiel Parakeet's standard is one tablespoonful.

Fresh feed contains various greens, wild herbage, fruits, vegetables, also fresh leaves and branches of trees. Animal feed must be included to a bird's ration as a source of proteins. You may feed your bird with boiled hen's eggs, fatless cottage cheese and small amount of minced meat. You should give such feeds to your bird once a week, but in molt period it will be twice a week and if it is a period of breeding - give it each day. You must also put in the bird's cage a feeder with chalk or small stones, they are necessary for good digestion and will give calcium to the bird's body.

We have to say that birds need a large cage. A large amount of pet shops can suggest you to purchase various cages if you incline to bird homes.
