Would it be ok to have a bird cage in a room with the fan on at night if the cage was covered?

I was wondering because my room gets pretty hot at night. If I covered the cage with a blanket or towel. Would it be ok for the birds and still keep the fan on? I could also put a heat source in there if it got too cold.

Suet Bird Feeder

I hung a suet feeder up over the summer and no birds seem to find it. Now that it’s winter I am trying again and this video is the first time I have seen the little birds at the feeder. These little birds always travel in groups and once one of them found the feeder it was only a matter of a minute before the feeder had ten birds on it. They all ate for about a minute and then were all gone. Birds may consume a quarter to a third of their body weight of food each day. You may be wondering what suet is . . . suet is animal fat. Suet cakes for birds are suet mixed with different combinations of things birds like to eat such as seeds, grains, nuts, fruits, or insects and provides a source of energy to wild birds. Inexpensive and durable wire cages that can be hung from branches, tree trunks, or hooks hold the suet for clinging birds—that is, birds that use their feet to cling onto objects such as the trunk of a tree. Not all birds can cling to a hanging object. One common clinging bird is the woodpecker. Jays are a type of bird that does not cling. The best price I have found the suet feeder shown here and the Suet cakes are at Wal-Mart for about .25 each.

Would a caique be a good bird for us?

My family is composed of my mom, my dad, my ten year old brother and I. I absolutely love birds and we currently have a pair of budgies. My mom really wants a puppy, but we don’t have the room for it, and I want a bird, so I suggested getting a caique because they act like little feathered puppies. My brother likes birds to an extent, but it wouldn’t be a problem getting him used to a caique. Same with my dad.

Anyway, my mom is prepared to spend the 900$ or so on the bird plus the 500-ish for the cage, food, toys, etc and vet visits. However, this would be out first larger bird. We’ve been researching them alot and have a book on them.

My dad works full time, and my brother and I go to school. My mom has a part-time job, so no one would be home for about six hours each day. We would provide the caique with plenty of toys and probably this cage: http://www.mybirdstore.com/VICTORIAN_CAGES-DOME_TOP_26_X20_X36_POWDER_COATED.html

It would be out of it’s cage on a playstand or playing with us most of the time when we’re home.

So, would a caique be ok by itself for six hours each weekday? Is this a good choice of bird for our family? Is the cage large enough?

How long should I wait before I try to introduce a new bird in my birds cage?

Can you use a liquid paint striper on a bird cage to remove the paint instead of sanding it by hand?

I understand I will need to get all the loose paint off and I will need to wash the cage good before I repaint it with the proper paint that is safe for birds.

Is stainless steel paint(spray) safe for birds?

Hi, I’m buying a used flight cage for my lovebirds because I want them to exercise and it’s not safe to let them fly around the house because of my cat.I can’t afford a new cage(usually ranging from 400~up)at the moment.So I was thinking on repainting it with a stainless steel paint that I bought online http://liquidstainlesssteel.com/products.html
I read that stainless steel cages are the best for birds so would it be safe for the birds if I repaint the cage?I want the cage to look like new because it’s going to go on the living room.Any other ideas of safe paint for birds?
Thanks,
Ana

Appropriate bird cage?

I have 4 cockatiels. I was give a very nice huge bird cage, the kind that stands on the floor. I would like to transfer the birds into the larger cage but I am worried because the bars on the cage have a space of 1inch in between them. Is that too much of a space between the bars for cockatiels? I don’t want them to hurt themselves getting stuck or something like that.

Questions about mixing bird breeds in cages?

We recently got a new bird called Romeo an 8 month male Cockatiel and we put him in a large cage with our existing birds Nathaniel a 10 year old male Parakeet and Charley a 10 year old female Cockatiel. When Romeo first went into the cage he was chirpy, then Charley died a day later, Romeo stopped singing and Nathaniel suddenly became very territorial and chased Romeo round his cage trying to bite him. We took Romeo out of Nathaniel’s cage and put him in a separate cage, but he still isn’t happy. Are both birds grieving?
We have another bird Shrek a 2 year old male Canary alone in a separate cage, would it be ok to put Romeo (male Cockatiel) in the same cage as Shrek?
Thanks any input or opinion would help (:

Is it too stressful to transfer canaries to another cage when I clean theirs?

I have my cages hanging on the wall. I like to take them down at least every 6 weeks and scrub them out side. The poor birds are hard to catch and I worry that the stress is too much. I can’t really clean with them in the cage…they get frightened of a big hand in there.
