Livestock Gardens
Although not as demanding as general livestock, keeping birds of any kind requires dedicated care. Many people with limited space in their gardens opt for keeping birds.
The brief guide below will give you some helpful pointers if you are planning to keep birds. You should seek additional professional advice in your local area before purchasing any birds though.
Keeping Birds - Garden Housing
If you plan to keep birds contained most of the time, the best policy is to purchase a cage that is the biggest you can manage to get into the space you have available. The cage must be designed for safety and ease of cleaning and made of non-toxic material. It is also important to ensure it will be constructed strongly enough to resist bending or dismantling by the bird.
Usually the cage will need to be wider than it is tall to accommodate stretched wings, and to allow for flight.
You should visit your local suppliers with the measurements of your garden space, and also a good idea of the birds you are planning to keep. You will then be able to get the right bird for the right cage suited to the right space!
