Bird Cage Fronts

Bird cage fronts are the framed wire panels that form the front of a bird cage. They often include doors, feeder openings, and other features to make caring for birds easier. These fronts are commonly used in custom cage builds or aviaries. Here are some key details:

Types of Bird Cage Fronts

Standard Wire Fronts – Made from sturdy wire with vertical and horizontal bars, suitable for small to medium-sized birds.

Breeding Cage Fronts – Designed with multiple doors and feeding cup slots for easy access when breeding birds.

Custom Cage Fronts – Can be built to specific dimensions, often with stainless steel or powder-coated materials for durability.

Aviary Fronts – Larger panels with multiple doors, used for flight cages or aviaries.

Common Features

Swing or Sliding Doors – Provide easy access for handling birds or cleaning.

Feeder Cup Doors – Small openings for placing food and water dishes without opening the main door.

Nest Box Openings – Useful for breeding birds like finches, canaries, and parrots.

Horizontal & Vertical Bars – Designed for perching and climbing (bar spacing depends on bird species).

Materials

Stainless Steel – Corrosion-resistant and long-lasting, ideal for parrots.

Powder-Coated Steel – Affordable and durable but requires non-toxic coatings.

Galvanized Steel – Strong and rust-resistant but needs proper treatment to be bird-safe.

Choosing the Right Bird Cage Front

Bar Spacing – Must be appropriate for the bird species (e.g., ½-inch for finches, ¾-inch for cockatiels, 1-inch+ for larger parrots).

Durability – Stainless steel is best for birds that chew (like macaws and cockatoos).

Access & Security – Locking mechanisms prevent birds from escaping.
