What Cage is BEST for a Budgie / Parakeet
Vložit

- You should look at 6 different categories when you are trying to find the best cage for your budgies.
Size, Design, Placement, Features, Bars spacing and Quality.

Cage's Size:
The Size is very important as you want to try and provide the maximum volume for your birds so they would be able to fly and play comfortably, but if you let your birds out of their cage, then you probably can go with a smaller size cage.
Cage's Design:
The style of the cage is a very important factor. you should try to find a horizontal cage rather than a straight upright one, avoid round cages as well.
Cage's Placement:
Where you place your cage plays very important role in your budgies health and safety, avoid windows and drafts, and watch out from small children and pets.
Cage's Features:
Make sure your cage can easily be cleaned, and have different perches for your budgies to perch on.
Bars Spacing:
Don't get a cage with big bars spacing, it should be about half an inch or 1 centimeter.
Quality:
Your best option is stainless steel, because it is non toxic solid and budgies can't chew their way out of it.

budgies and people have one thing in common
we both like to poop without interference mum!
lol
lmfao
i bought 5 acres in austrailia working on the rest cant wait then i can get budgies..
Imagine
Awesome
LMAO
that’s legit how it feels 🤣
@@elsiesverystrange3518 finaly someone got my joke lol. We have to many jawks amd eagles here in florida to put them outside in an aviary not to mention cats rats bats cuban tree frogs that eat birds and snakes. So i have all 10 of them in the spare room that should jave been a guest room. Lol
He has a super small cage but he has A LOT of outside the cage time as I keep the cage door open all day. He likes to surprise me with dive bombs to get my attention and then dance at me from on top of his cage like "Haha I got you!" I keep his essentials in his cage and so it's like his safe space when he's tired
7:30 i remember my budgie opened its cage door by itself and flew out while we were away, but luckily we found it sitting on the front porch and put it back into the cage.
Genuinely one of the most helpful videos I’ve found about budgie cages. I already have two budgies and I thankfully already knew most of the stuff you mentioned in the video. However, I honestly had no idea that budgies’ tails shouldn’t touch the cage’s bars, so I’m definitely relocating their perches a bit. Thank you!
it's fine if the perches are next to the bars, but make sure they have some perches where they can fully flex and extend :)
Woah that guy at the store didn't know shit about the birds he had... He was suggesting me a real real small one at first for 2 budgies but then I went for a big one...it's still small compared to this but damn now I feel really bad... My budgies are not getting out of the cage for now...i guess they are still not comfortable...it's been just 2 days but yea
Same he wanted me to get 2 budgies for the price of one with a very small cage (idiot)
Same too me
But there is a solution keep the budgie alone in one room and open cage door and allow them to take there time They will come out Do it daily So that they would have exercise that they did not have in cage
Me the shopkeeper give me a cage of 45 X 45X45 for 2 budgies
They are sitting at one place in cage as they do not have place
@@epicsans3781 yeah same but my dad was to cheap and bought the small cage but then I didn’t let them be in the cage so I took them out to fly most of the time but now my mom said I can get a flight cage so yeah I’m super happy because I can get a bigger cage for them she said yes so I was happy and I checked on amazon and found a flight cage for 120 but I think I might wait untill it’s on sale maybe because my mom said so
@@furryanimals2186 I got a really nice one on Amazon for $100. It's really big. I ordered everything before I get the birds so I can have it ready.
I was struggling on deciding if I should get the finch flight cage or not. I just want my new budgie to be happy in it, this video gave me the confirmation I needed to buy the cage ! Thank you :)
Good tips. Miss having budgies and back in the 70s and 80s round cages were popular. Because of my health I’d never buy a bird as it would be unfair to them. So, I’ll just enjoy them on CZcams.:)
I think I literally just ordered one of the ones you listed
I have an old cage but let my birds fly around the house when family is around
Pandi The Turtle Gaming Keeping them in a cage all day isn’t healthy or good for the bird.. And if you are gonna let your bird fly everywhere in your house, no matter how tamed or trained they may be, it’s best to always pay attention to them.
@@coolerthanyou6040
Periodt
I let my birb out every- day in the morning and at night for 1-2 hrs (morning) 2-4 hrs in (evening)
@@coolerthanyou6040 LOL my budgies like to stay in their cage even when I open it for them, but they do eventually come out, it's just funny the way they act
@@jennifersmythx still if you have a antique cage you should upgrade
What is your native language? Such a nice accent.
Arabic. thanks for your sweet words
I agree
Budgie World السلام عليكم
Zemsaney no it’s such a nice accent be positive mate
Zemsaney understand but if it’s not nice why would u say it Xx
Please increase volume of your voice. It is a little hard to hear over the sounds of the birds. Great vids by the way.
thank you , yea I corrected my mistake, in the last 10 videos or so that I have uploaded, I turned the background music volume way down :)
I have two budgies and I feel like their cage isn't big enough, it's hard for me to move my hand around and tame them too.
@Thelma Rubin-Rottenberg Thanks bro but they're dead now
Manta watches stuff oh??
@ZOEY WHITE One died for reasons I’m not sure and the other got killed by my dog. It was a long time ago and I haven’t owned birds since.
@@hex3325 😂 il shred that dog to pieces I fucking hate them
@@hex3325 bruh wtf lmao
Thanks this was really helpful i'm getting a buggie and I didn't know what cage I needed and your other vids about buggies were helpful too
Petco sold me a small cage that I use for relocation and sunbathing my single budgie daily (when it's warm enough). I've got a larger cage situated in my room and would like to introduce one other bird for now because, despite my best efforts, lengthy daily interactions and the copious amounts of toys I introduce, my lone bird never took interest in any of them, got lonely, and then became mirror obsessed. I always leave the cage door open so he can fly wherever he likes around my room, but for now he has to stay inside because I want to quarantine the new bird and make sure he's clean before I introduce them to each other. I just feel really bad about the whole ordeal, I can't let him out because he got mirror obsessed but I shouldn't keep him in because he's lonely, hence the mirror obsession. My parents aren't exactly supportive of me, either, so I'm basically on my own during the whole quarantine process.
I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you! From India.
I THANKFUL THAT I SUBSCRIBED! My Budgie cannot fly in it and it is rather tall than long!
wow tysm ! i’m getting my first ever budgie soon. (idk if I should get 2 or 1) so tysm for this video!
Great info, thanks!
i just got a new flight cage for my budgies today
i let my budgies out for 6-7 hours a day
I go to school and my mum and dad work in the day so what cage would I get for 2 budgies
Probably a very large cage and lots of toys to keep them occupied
Tiara Tillis thank you
I would suggest a large flight cage like 64x30x40 ish they are pricey around 100-170 but with a happy little bird inside it is 1000% worth it
@@isabellamerrigan8074 ooo ok my mom said I can get a new bigger cage so yeah thank you!
The dimensions were very helpful! Iv'e never had a budgie of my own and i'm hoping to convince my parents to let me get one! with this information on hand I'm hoping I can convince them!
Did you convince them to let you get a budgie?
@@BaboyaBang i did!!
@@Em-uu2uj That is so awesome:) makes me happy haha. I haven't gotten my budgies yet. I have a customer I do work for that is going to sell me her 3 budgies but I'm in the process of moving so it'll be after we move. I'm so excited!
I have the one on the bottom on the picture(forgot what it’s called) but you should get ones that are longer than height
2:27 where did you get that cage from? I have 3 budgies and I think that cage will be the perfect size. Right now I feel that my cage is too small for my budgies :(
I left links in the description for various cages sizes
its been 4 months are your budgies healthy and did u upgrade the cage ?
That is definitely not a big enough cage...
Eri is uwu oh hey!! I have 2 budgies now,,,,I gave away one of my budgies to my little cousin :). I still have the same cage since it’s big enough for 2 birds
Nyu - Chan oh that’s nice!
Omg thank you in needed this video!!!
this was very helpfull thanks!
Just got a new cage from Petco it's a 76cmx45cmx45 I think is great for mi two budgies, bay the way new subscriber here 🙋 greetings from Mexico 👍
How about, a whole room
**RECOMMENEDED**
@@thinhnonyt yeah i don’t have a lot of doors in my house or an extra room that is always closed, besides my budgie likes interacting with people
But the risks, windows, ppl closing n opening doors, (light bulbs can get really warm), making holes in the wall (and getting stuck),
Hi! If I get the first cage is it still enough room if I take it to play? I am planning on taking him/her out everyday for a couple hours. Thanks great vid!!
the first cage is good if you have 1 budgie and the cage is open at least 20 hours per day if not all the time, it's good if he goes in and out whenever your budgie wants.
for two hours per day it means your budgie is gonna spend most of the time in the cage.
I would recommend you going for the 1-2 Budgies Cage.
your budgie will be happier, don't forget the cage is basically his home. he needs to feel safe there, and mostly he will spend most of his time in there.
Plus the first cage won't have room for toys and stuff, if you are planning to let him out couple of hours per day, that means he's gonna spend the other time in his cage with toys and stuff. So the cage would be crowded. unless it is open all the time and he can go to his cage to eat and play and go out whenever he wants.
@@BudgieWorld ok thanks for the info i am gonna get the second one!
@@BudgieWorld great advice. I'm a bit concerned as the cage I ordered online says iron under materials not stainless steel though the size is 45×35.5×18.
What an informative video. thank you
Hey just wondering what are the dimensions of the cage at 0:17 preferably in cm if possible? And how many birds would comfortably fit in there?
i think it would be good for 2 to 3 budgies
best CZcams channel for budgies
Wow, thank you very much!
i'm thinking about getting the finch flight cage I am wondering if that's enough room for 2 budgies or only 1 (I will be letting them out for most of the day)
cami x how big is the finch cage?? I got a finch cage that can be used for 1 or 2 budgies that is 30x18x18 inches
How can I transfer my non hand tamed budgies to a new cage?
You can let it see the cage abd let it fly around keepyour oraginal cage in the room and put it favorite toys in the cage let it take as much time as it needs to get in the cage spend time with you hand dont force it give it a treat every time it comes up that work with my babys ♡ i hope this helps edit sorry my english is super bad
I am now on my 3rd cage and I would say bigger is better. Get the biggest cage that can fit in your space. Budgies need lots of toys and natural wood perches. The cage in your video is a great size too.
Good video buddy 🤙🏻
I'd like to ask if this is okay for my one budgie? he lost his mate a little bit ago and I was thinking about upgrading his cage, but i don't know if I should upgrade to any of these listed?
measures 26” long, 14” wide, 22 ½” high with ½” wire spacing.
Helpful
The links that you provided ref the bird cages are coated and not just plain stainless steel as per your recommendations. Please advise, thanks!
Thanks for the info, I’m thinking about getting a budgie, but I don’t know if I can with my younger sister around :/
I have a airplane and my budgiers took it down the gouldon finchs love it
Yes
You can buy a flight cage in Amazon for $42 it’s great my bird has been so happy sense I bought it for him

Would 32x18 be good for budgies? Especially since they spend most of their time outside the cage?
I love your accent and your videos. Do you have a degree in avian science? You seem so knowledgeable.
Is have a question about the bar of the cage. Is 1.5 cm to wide for them?
Is 18x18x54inches for 2 budgies ok? They will be out 1-3 hours per day.
I just have a question and none of the other channels have told me so please tell me what is the perfect cage size for 3 budgies?
What would be a good size for 3 birds??
Hello friend, i am planing to buy very big cage size 1m x 0,8m x 0,8m.Can you tell me how many males and females to put in cage. Thx
my cage is 59x38x65. is that a good cage? and i only have one budgie
Can I remove a cage divider?
@ 8:21 this is the same caGe for my two budgies.should i change?please reply
yes, specially circular cages are very bad for your bird's mental health
please tell me what cage you use at 0:00 to 0:33 and by the way i love this vid it really helped me out
Thank you, they don't have it on amazon. if I find it online I'll let you know. this is the closest to it though => amzn.to/2SuIOT1
@@BudgieWorld thanks you so much
@zaida rodriguez yes it is
Got one of those great looking cages on wheels ! - Made in China - Worst thing I ever bought! Its 'one of those flat pack cages you assemble yourself - Complete with instructions plus list of tools needed also said half hour of your time to assemble !
- Came in a large heavy ish cardboard box covered in dust with new cellotape ?- Holding the old box back together again ? - When opened we checked parts list & All the parts were there ? --A good start ? I thought ???
I also noticed that in must have been at bottom of the pile of these- As parts of the metal bars were bent - Metal strips were bent so bottom floor & also the plastic tray would not slide into place - These strips were spot welded into place so delicately that 2 were hanging off ?( 6 spot welds for both strips ) Which my Son straightened and welded back into place - Following week when we were assembling it again - We found the bolts were not long enough -The ones supplied were 1/2 inch long ? - Ones needed were at least an 1 inch long !
So I had to go buy an extra 16 bolts ! -Then there was the casters that screwed into the legs? - Casters were perfect ? - But the nuts that they screwed into - That were welded into the inside of the square tubes that formed the legs - Were welded too far up inside so the threaded screws on the casters supplied were barely reaching the nuts inside so I could not
Possibly screw them in ?
So I had to buy another 4 castrers - 3 weeks after I opened the box to assemble my budgies new cage it - it took ...
... A bit of panel beating - And welding - And a respray - New Casters New bolts & a large amount of patience - Should of sent the damn thing back on hind sight - So just be careful were you order your cage from ? - You have been warned !
If it had not been for my son being a mechanic - It would have cost me another £ 100 at least ! -And to think thought it was gonna be 3 pop rivets hold those 2 runners back into place haha! -Thankyou Lewis ! -Bogart & Babe love their new Habitat !
I just bought a round Omlet cage. I love it but the birds (budgies) don’t.
They only like hanging out in the larger cockatoo cage 😕
😱 and just heard your comment on the round page 😖
How are they detrimental to their psychological health?
I have purchased an indoor aviary for my eight birds because I can't give them much time out of the cage.
Cost?
Im sure I have a large space for my budgie I will b e buying new toys for her also because I'm going to start taming her cage has more space than 45 x 45 x 45 and I also have have a flight cage
0:55 I can hear a baby bird just like mine!
oh no I ordered mine and it is 18 and a half by 15 and a half . and 36 tall is it to small
My budgies are not hand tamed. Should I let them out? I did once and it was a disaster. Any suggestions?
Is an 18x18 inch cage a good for 4 budgies but they are let out for as long as possible
Biggest cage you can afford better to go big then having buy another cage. I would suggest getting a smaller cages for vet visits.
Which one is better cage for budgie
Why didn't you talk which is better a horizontaly or verticaly shaped bar cage? I used to have budgies 30 years ago and the cage was in comparison to your video horizontaly bared.
In your video you mention that a 30x18x18 cage is good for 2-5 budgies. I am looking for a flight cage that will house 6-8 young birds from weaning till a year old when they may move on to breeding pairs?
This should help you out for the exact cage size you need -> czcams.com/video/n_GOITw8Rbo/video.html
Question: what if your house has a lot of windows everywhere and almost no areas without windows? Where would you put the cage?
Put it out of the reach of sunlight.
Okay, thank you very much!
Can you mix male and females together? Thank you for this lovely video tutorial 🤙
I have and never had problems/didn’t have babies
So what's a good size for two birds?
My cage net size Is a bit small is it ok
I have one budgie sooo
I was wondering if a cage could be 60x36,5x69 cm for one budgie ? I want to do my best for my hopefully new friend it would spend as much time outside of the cage as possible but I am in school so every time I get home it would get to go out
yes this is good enough for 1 budgie, however you don't want your budgie getting bored if you aren't around enough
Budgie World no exactly I want it to room and toys enough and then switch them out regularly so the bird isn’t bored with the same toy all the time. I’m also planning on getting an “outdoor” playground for the bird. I was wondering about food and stuff how many times does a budgie need food and how often do they need fruit and vegetables and how often can they get candy without getting too fat ? I’m really trying to do my research before getting one as it’s a huge commitment but I can’t find exact answers
@@camillakirkmand1977 these are all wonderful questions, and VERY important ones as well.
I get a lot of these questions and that's why I am making a whole series about budgie diet and nutrition.
it might take a while to cover most of their diet, but I am committed and we will cover everything eventually. :)
Budgie World thank you!
For some reason when I builded the cage it was so big but when I put my birds in it got smaller xddd is something wrong with my eyes ;-;
Australia? I live there
My brother got 2 budgies, can budgies and a macaw get along since I am planning on raising a hyacinth macaw, military or green winged
A single bite from a big macaw can kill a budgie try not to let a budgie with anything bigger than a cockatiel (that also if the birds get along) although it depends on how friendly the bird is a hyacinth can break a coconut with it's break.
As the other person said one bite from a macaw can kill a budgie so I'd try not let them EVER meet as if they would it would be ww3 and the budgies will 100% die
I really want a Bird, but My parents don't want because of dogs, space and noise, im thinking of having the cage in My room, is that a good idea? I have My parents bedroom next to My room but besides that i don't see a other good place, is there a Cage that would fit in my bedside table? Or it is a Bad idea to have it there? I'm Open to all suggestions :)
I have both the cages in the thumbnail
What is a good size for 4 budgies with toys food and all that
if you let them out of the cage and fly , plus there are no breeding pairs and they all go along, then 18x18x32 inch cage would do they job.
however if any of the above is not true , then I would suggest you go with a bigger cage than that, a cage you could afford and have a place for it :)
Budgie World my sister who owns them usually plays with them for a much of the day as for breeding pairs we do not know the genders would 30x18x18 be ok
yes, it would this is the absolute minimum though, some would say this is for 2 budgies, but with my experience and visiting other people that own budgies, this would be good for 4 budgies. specially if you play with them and they go out :)
Budgie World thx I’ll be getting the cage ASAP
What do you think is a good size for 2 birds
I mention that in the video at 2:38 :)
You whant big cage for 2 budgies
And a budgie
I- i was about to get the prevune hydrax flight cage what measures 36by 21by 60 for one budgie😓😂
Well, technically no cage is too big XD
Is 1inch for the spacing ok?
not for budgies
@@BudgieWorld oh dear, my dad won't be happy after i tell him, we have a old cage in our house and we decided to sand it down and use it for budgies but i guess we'll have to get a bigger bird
Personally, if I am looking for a bird cage, I look for one with horizontal bars. I am rather shocked by the number of bird cages in this video with vertical bars. Of course they can still grip vertical bars, it’s just more difficult considering they continue to slide down the entire time they are on the bar.
How did you start loving budgies?
What if you have 4 budgies in one cage and they fight? Do I need to buy another cage or buy one different cage for all 4 of them? (I am a first time owner).
Males usually better together since females tend to fight opposite of betta fish 😄
I put aligater clips on the doors
What is the dimentions of the cage in the video
How many budgies can fit in a 87cm×70cm× 46'5cm?
here's the formula => czcams.com/video/n_GOITw8Rbo/video.html
I have a cage that is about 3ish feet tall, I have only had birds for about 3 days now, and I have 4 one is almost hand tamed, he will get on my hand and let me move him around, he will also come to me
Is a 74cm tall 48x48cm cage ok? I let my girl around 4-5 hours a day
Hi! I'm also a fairly small budgie channel, and recently I've had trouble growing (Like all small channels) so I was thinking, maybe we can do a shoutout to each other? I guarantee we will both get something out of it, and by the way your budgies are really cute!
Thank you for your kind words, Please for any business inquiries or collaborations send it privately, you can find the email under the about tab in the details.
it is acctually best to go for a horizontal bar only, since budgies love to climb
Hello friend where can I buy this cage for my budgie you are showing on 6.20
I can only find the black and white versions but I need the stainless steel my budgie will remove the paint
Can I put a parakeet inside a cage with a size is 18*12*36 inches?
20 by 20 by 20 is the minimum
My budgie is lazy lol, when I open the cage he activates screm mode and he won’t fly.
Which cage is best for 10-15 parakeets?
You can get multiple flight cages for each of the birds
My future budgies Are gonna have a 60*32,5*57,5 cm and i think That’s a deasent size its Pure metal and a aqare That’s a bit tablet than wider
Is 75cm long and 45cm tall good for a cage and breeding?
yes, it should contain just the pair of budgies you are breeding, sounds very good for a budgie pair :)
Budgie World but it has a cage divider in the middle.. can you remove the cage divider?
@@charlixee yes you can, I think all cages that I have seen with a cage divider, it was easily removable
I have two parakeets
I have one
I HAVE THAT CAGE
The prevue flight cage is a great price but garbage build quality, it is a pain in the arse to make, I recommend a better made one ,shell out more on a better flight cage. Also have neeedlr nose pliers to make some bent wires straight. Also buy some zip ties the side door can be opened by them! I bought 500 zip ties off of Amazon for like 12 bucks
