What Is a Bird Starter Package?
A bird starter package is a ready-to-go setup designed to help a new bird owner bring home the right supplies from day one. Instead of guessing which cage, food, toys, bowls, and accessories are safe or appropriate, Bird and Beyond organizes starter packages by bird size and species group.
Quick Answer: Bird and Beyond starter packages are ready-to-go bird setup solutions that include species-appropriate cage recommendations, natural perches, food bowls, enrichment toys, starter food, cleaning supplies, travel items, and care guidance. Packages start at $149 and are customized for small birds, companion birds, medium parrots, and large parrots.
Compare Bird and Beyond Starter Packages
The best package depends on the bird’s species, cage size, activity level, diet, and owner experience. A small finch setup is very different from a Macaw or African Grey setup.

Why a Proper Bird Setup Matters
Birds are sensitive animals, and the first few days in a new home can shape their comfort, confidence, and behavior. A poor setup can lead to stress, fear, messy feeding routines, unsafe chewing, boredom, and preventable owner frustration.
A proper bird setup should support five major needs: safety, nutrition, enrichment, cleanliness, and bonding.
The Five Setup Pillars
- Safe cage size and placement
- Species-appropriate diet
- Natural perches and foot support
- Toys, chewing, and enrichment
- First-week care and bonding guidance

Bird Starter Package FAQs
Do I need a starter package before bringing my bird home?
A starter package is strongly recommended because it helps you prepare the cage, food, toys, perches, bowls, cleaning supplies, and travel items before your bird arrives. Having the setup ready can reduce stress for both the bird and the owner.
Which starter package is best for a cockatiel?
Most cockatiels fit best with the Companion Starter Package, which includes a larger cage than the small-bird package, natural perches, bowls, enrichment toys, food transition items, a carrier, cleaner, guide, and 14-day plan.
Which package is best for an African Grey?
African Greys generally fit best with the Premium Parrot Home Package because they need a larger cage, heavier-duty perches, more enrichment, species-appropriate diet planning, and more owner guidance.
Can I customize a starter package?
Yes. Bird and Beyond starter packages can be customized based on the bird’s species, size, age, cage needs, food plan, chewing behavior, and owner preferences.
Do the packages include the bird?
No. Starter packages are setup solutions for cages, food, toys, perches, supplies, and care guidance. Birds are sold separately unless a custom bundle is specifically discussed and documented.
Can starter packages be shipped?
Some bird supplies and products may be eligible for shipping. Shipping availability depends on the products included, destination, packaging, and current store policy.
Can you help me choose the right cage size?
Yes. Cage size should be based on the species, size, activity level, and daily routine of the bird. Bird and Beyond can help recommend a cage size before purchase.
Are these prices final?
The listed prices are starting prices. Final package pricing may vary based on product upgrades, cage selection, availability, species needs, and customization.
