Budgie Cages

When should I buy a budgie cage? What size budgie cage should I buy?

Is the shape of my budgie’s cage important?

    • A rectangular budgie cage is the best shape.
    • Avoid round budgie cages because a budgie needs a flat wall behind them, to feel safe.
    • A round budgie cage offers no safe place.
    • Also avoid budgie cages with alot of decorative flourishes such as those shaped like a house or palace.
    • These actually offer your budgie alot less room to fly around and play than a rectangular cage and when they perch on the outer rounded edges, their poops do not stay within the cage but fall onto the table outside the cage.
    • Also, a budgie can get their foot or toenail stuck in the decorative bits and get hurt.

The width of the cage is more important than the height as budgies fly horizontally, not vertically like helicopters.
