Would this cage be good for a budgie?
I’m thinking of getting a Budgie, So I’ve been doing some research on them. I was looking at cages at some local stores.. we don’t actually have a pet store near, so choices are limited. The local feed store has a cage like this http://www.thepamperedpetmart.com/page/TPPM/PROD/Prevue/3151 Would this be a good cage for a budgie? possible two? I’m pretty sure i only want one.. but there is a chance we may get two. Would this cage be big enough?
Also any good websites about budgies, would be helpful.
I’d also love to see pics of your birds and there cages ![]()
Thanks!
yeah, the dimensions were on that site..
Cage Measures: 18”L x 18”W 31-1/2”H
Height Including Stand: 57″
Wire Spacing: 3/4”
Thanks for everyone’s answers, i didn’t think about the spacing being a problem.
I think for a budgie I would try to find one with bars made for a budgie or finch, but it is wonderful that you would get your new pet a cage that large. I have to tell you that most budgies won’t want to stay and play nice on top of the cage like a parrot will. The ones we were able to tame wanted to be with us and the ones that didn’t tame well wanted to fly around so then you have the dilemma of clipping the wings and then they sort of crash land. Budgies like noise like radio, TV even the dishwasher. They don’t like kids/cats/dogs that are jumping around so you want to keep them away from that or they will get stressed. A smaller more portable cage will let you take the bird where you are in the house, on the porch, or out in the yard, but it’s nice to have a lot of room also, I would start out with the smaller cage and see if your bird looks like it would use the extra space. Their life span is at least 8 years so you have time to think about purchasing a large cage in the future. I got my cages at Petco. The stores have a better selection than on-line. They have sales quite often.
