Ok, so I have a $40 Amazon gift card (and soon to be another $40 gift card) for an exercise challenge my mom and I are taking part in. (It is 8 weeks long, and I get $40 for doing 56,000 steps or 140 minutes of exercise a week for 4 weeks straight.) My plan is to spend it all on my birds.
The problem is I can't decide what I want to do. Whether to get a cage, toys, a new playground, or what.
Cages
This cage is the one I have currently for them. It seems to be big enough for them. The only problem with it is the back part got bumped against a door and so it's being held together by zip ties now.
Other cages I'm kinda glancing at (not really looking to purchase until I have the other $40 Amazon gift card) are:
This one (#1) (though this one is questionable because bar spacing is 1/2" - I know that's the maximum for budgies, but I don't really want to hit it)
This one (#2) (though it's made from the same stuff my current cage is made from - and once again, 1/2" bar spacing)
Playgrounds
Is this playground (#3) any good for budgies? Or is it just cheaply made and gonna break in 5 minutes with 2 budgies playing with it?
How about this one (#4)? It looks big to me, but no idea. The thing I like about it is that it has the catch-all on the bottom, unlike the one I have currently (which is a lot like this one except that it has a rope instead of the barbells at the back).
Or maybe something like this one (#5) and this one (#6). It's just like the one I have already though.
Another option for playgrounds is that I could make a PVC playground (kinda like this one). The playground I have for them already is a mini version of something like that.
Toys
Or should I just invest in a bunch of different toys for them?
They both love ropes and bells like this one (#7) has.
They'd like this one (#8) because of the bell.
This one (#9) has rope and beads and such they'd like.
Anyone have any ideas for me? (I numbered them so it's easier to talk about a specific one)
Edited to add:
A sundeck
They could have somewhere to perch just right outside their door.

Since their outside "cage" is big enough?
