I have two budgies, Peter and Sky

Note: Budgies shell the seeds when they eat. Therefore what may look like a container with food might be a container full of shells (husk). Don't be fooled and let your budgies starve. This is a common feeding mistake. Also, you should never put new food on top of old food. Discard the old food and shells first. Keep it clean. A dirty feed container is a breeding ground for bacteria. Remember to change the drinking water regularly since food will get into it and your budgie might decide to take a bath in it as well.

Cage Size: The general rule is that bigger is better. Your budgies must have enough room to fly around for exercise. The length of the cage is more important than the height. The guideline suggested for minimum cage size is as follows:

20"x12"x18" for 1 Bird

40"x20"x32" for a Pair

The space between the bars is also quite important. If they are too wide, you can guess what will happen, the bird will get out. The budgie may also get his head or body stuck if it tries to squeeze through the bars. To prevent this from happening, make sure that the spaces between the bars are no wider than 陆 inch. Some budgie enthusiasts also recommend that you get a cage with horizontal bars and to avoid those with only vertical bars. This is especially so when the cage is small, since the budgie will do more walking & climbing than flying. The horizontal bars help the budgie to get a better grip when climbing on the cage.
