 | Good Size The cage on the left is a little over 1 foot (30 cm) square, and is just big enough to provide enough space for one or two budgies. The cage on the right is about two feet wide, and a little over one foot deep and tall. It is a very good size for about three, maybe four, budgies. What is excellent about this cage is that it is wide, providing extra room in the right places. You will want to place cages like these on a stand or table, since your budgies will feel uncomfortable living close to the ground. (For birds, the taller the perching spot, the safer they feel.) And remember, the more budgies you want to keep in one cage, the bigger the cage needs to be. So if you want to keep 5 or more budgies in one cage, you will need one bigger than seen on the right. |

Good, But Height May Be Wasted These cages are a good size for one to three budgies. However, these cages are taller than they are wide, and this may be a waste of money depending on your needs. Remember, when choosing a cage for your budgies, wider is better than taller. Your budgies will mostly stay in the higher half of the cage and won't make use of the extra space below. (For birds, the taller the perching spot, the safer they feel.) This could still be a good choice for you if you plan on placing the cage on the ground instead of on a table or stand. |

Too Small These cages are just way too small! They are labeled as "9 inches long" and say they are for parakeets, but it would be inappropriate to confine a budgie or parakeet to a cage this size. I wouldn't even recommend keeping a canary or finch in a cage this small. If you have a budgie in a small cage like this, I strongly recommend you upgrade to a larger cage as soon as you are able to. These cages would only be good for temporary stays, such as transporting your budgie or separating a sick budgie from the flock. |
