Companion Starter Package
A Ready-to-Go Setup for Cockatiels, Lovebirds & Small Conures
The Companion Starter Package is designed for customers bringing home social companion birds such as cockatiels, lovebirds, and small conures. These birds often become closely bonded with their owners, so the right setup should support safety, routine, interaction, enrichment, and a smooth transition into the home.
This package gives new bird owners a stronger foundation than a basic small-bird kit, with a larger cage recommendation, natural perches, multiple bowls, enrichment toys, a food transition plan, carrier, cleaner, care guide, and 14-day plan.

Companion Birds Need a Setup That Supports Bonding
Cockatiels, lovebirds, and small conures are often chosen because they are interactive and expressive. They may enjoy attention, training, sound, routine, and time near their family. Because of that, their setup should support more than food and water.
The Companion Starter Package helps create a balanced home environment with enough cage space, perch variety, toys, a food transition plan, and supplies for daily care. The included 14-day plan helps new owners understand what to expect during the adjustment period.
Recommended Companion Bird Cage Setup
For most birds in this package group, Bird and Beyond recommends starting with a cage that is at least 24 x 18 x 30 inches. The cage should allow comfortable movement, proper perch spacing, room for food and water bowls, and space for enrichment toys without overcrowding.
- Choose a cage that allows wing movement and climbing
- Use natural perches with varied texture
- Keep bowls accessible and easy to clean
- Rotate toys to prevent boredom
- Place the cage away from kitchen fumes and aerosols
- Create a predictable feeding and cleaning routine
Food Transition Mix, Treats & Better Daily Habits
The Companion Starter Package includes pellet/seed transition mix and treats. The goal is to help the bird adjust gradually while giving the owner practical tools for bonding, training, and positive interaction.
Bird and Beyond can explain how to introduce food, avoid sudden changes, monitor appetite, and use treats appropriately for trust-building and simple training.
Why the 14-Day Plan Matters
The first two weeks with a companion bird are important. The 14-day plan helps owners slow down, observe the bird, build trust, and create a consistent routine.
- Safe arrival and cage setup
- Food and water routine
- Quiet adjustment period
- Gentle presence and trust building
- Early handling expectations
- Toy introduction and rotation
- Cleaning routine
- Signs to monitor during adjustment
