Garden birds are a joy to everyone. Hearing them chirp and sing throughout the day is extremely soothing. Indeed, it is very important to take good care of wild birds. This helps preserve the planetary ecosystem, and also provides them with what they need to live.
If you have decided to welcome birds into your home but are unsure how to care for them and make them happy, then, if you pay close attention to these little feathered creatures, discover all our tips for taking good care of them in your garden or in a cage.
Garden birds: a real daily companionship
There are very many species of wild birds. If you have a garden or a balcony and spend time there, you have certainly seen many of them. Among the best-known garden bird species, there are:
- The frugivorous birds (who feed on fruits) such as the magpie or starling;
- The insectivorous birds (who feed on insects) such as the goldcrest, blackbird, or robin;
- The granivorous birds (who feed on seeds) such as the dove, sparrow, or finch.
To help these different bird species, you can set up shelters and nesting boxes in your garden. This will allow them to face the winter and the cold temperatures with ease.
To feed them, there are different types of accessories such as waterers and feeders. However, be careful; it is not recommended to give seeds or cereals in large quantities throughout the year, as it is quite harmful to the birds. Ideally, it is better to install a seed dispenser, for example, and hang it on a tree so that birds can come and feed easily.
Everything about domestic birds to take care of them: in cage or aviary
Garden birds are wild birds that you cannot adopt because they would not be happy confined in a cage. That said, there are certain species of domestic birds that adapt very well indoors.
Therefore, if you want to adopt domestic birds, you should consider large parakeets, budgerigars, parrots, doves, turtledoves, pigeons, lovebirds, exotic birds, or canaries.
Domestic birds are genuine life companions. This means that you will need to provide them with love and care. Use the right gestures to properly take care of them.

In general, domestic birds like to live in a bright and well-temperatured place. They can very well stay in a cage or an aviary, as long as they are perfectly secured, but it is preferable to let them enjoy the outdoor air when the weather allows. Furthermore, do not hesitate to offer some toys to your bird and above all, ensure that it can have quality seeds and water at will.
