If you can find the right size, a starter kit is a good, cost-saving, option for those purchasing their first bird.
Things to Consider:
Breed of Bird – You need to be sure to get a kit that´s specifically made for the type of bird you´re buying. The kit will have toys and other products designed for the health and well-being of your bird included in the kit.
Ease of Cleaning – Though starter cages are often a little smaller and less expensive, it´s important to find one that has a removable bottom tray, for the ease of cleaning the cage.
Make Galvanized Metal Safe – Some cages are galvanized. If the cage in your starter kit is galvanized, you should rinse it with a vinegar water mixture to remove the metal traces left by galvanizing, as these metal traces could be harmful to your bird.
