A&E Bird Cage Company is a trusted, family-operated brand that specializes in bird enclosures and toys. Your bird can enjoy a comfortable space to sleep, eat and play in the right home. Active birds—for instance—may love A&E Cage Company Split-Level Play-Top bird cages. This design can give your pet the freedom to explore multiple zones and exit through the top for added room to play and move.
These bird cages are designed to last and made from materials like powder-coated wrought iron and steel. The A&E Cage Company Flight bird cage helps give your pet room to roam. Alternatively, the A&E Cage Company Rolling Play Stand bird stand lets your bird be near you—even during rest times. With features like large, bird-proof doors, stands with storage shelves, feeder stations and slide-out grills and trays, A&E Cage Company enclosures can make a great home for your bird.
From sandstone-coated perches that help groom your bird’s nails to knotted wicker ball structures where you can hide treats that help keep your pet playing and preening, A&E Cage Company has what you need. They also offer toy and perch options for different-sized birds—from parakeets to macaws. Most A&E bird toys are made from Java wood, which is gathered from retired coffee trees. This environmentally friendly source also provides supplemental income to coffee farmers, so you can feel good about the gifts you give your bird.

Canaries may especially love the space-saving corner aviary option, which offers room for flight. Meanwhile, pet birds of nearly any kind can do well in a suitable-sized Flight or Play-Top cage.

Hello. Some feed co-ops will have their own brands that they mill themselves, & there are regional graineries as well. Nutrena is a well known national brand, as is Dumor. Personally, I use Purina & Nutrena, altho in a pinch, I will pick up the brand made by a nearby grain mill. So yes, Purina is an excellent brand. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Choose a commercial pelleted diet labeled as "all flock" or "flock raiser". This is a complete diet for most chickens. For the hen, you will need to supplement calcium, especially if she is a layer. You can offer her crushed oyster shells freely. Do not use a layer diet for both. The calcium levels would be too high for the rooster leading to potential health issues for him. The website www.backyardchickens.com is an excellent resource for information regarding the husbandry and feeding of domestic chickens.

If you are concerned about your birds getting cold you should keep them in a wind-proof enclosed shelter and provide them additional heat with a heat lamp. The feed you described is appropriate provided they are in cold weather. You should not feed corn if the temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees celsius.

They can eat chicken feed, cracked corn, oats, groats, greens, oyster shells (crushed), mealworms, nightcrawlers, crickets, berries and carrots just to list a few items. This is by no means an all inclusive list. You can find more acceptable foods at www.backyardchickens.com.

Hello. Chickens can indeed spread diseases, like Salmonella, Campylobacter, Mycobacterium & Chlamidia. But if you have a normal functioning immune system & wash hands after working & handling the chickens & eggs, you should be fine. Chickens can be a lot of work as you need a proper place to keep them safe, a good coop for the night, proper food in the correct ratios, ocassional worming & make sure you only purchase chicks that have been vaccinated for Mareks. There are wonderful books & websites for new chicken owners. I like https://www.mypetchicken.com & https://the-chicken-chick.com. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
