Hi. Sorry if this question is a repetitive one but I wanted your advice. I am looking for a cage for my second Budgie that I'm getting at the end of the month. I would like a cage that will be large enough to eventually ( in a couple years) house up to four. I also like the ones that open from the top as well as the sides but didn't know if those were meant for Budgies. So what cage size would you recommend and do you have any websites you prefer for cages? Thanks for your time! I really like having a bird group to talk with!

I love my hq flight cages. I order most of my items from Petsolutions or amazon.

Hi Emily!
I'm on my phone right now so I can't post a link but I recommend a flight case if you can afford it, or there is a $40-$50 large cage on Petco that Sarah has recommended before.

You need to come up with a budget for yourself, about how much you are willing to spend on said cage. You can get something acceptable for four budgies so long as they have daily out of cage exercise for around 40 ish. But the minute you are willing to spend 100 or 150, you can buy a cage that will really bring your birds joy  Consider your budget and get back to us. We can recommend something for you then. |

I went to the other forum and found the cage Sarah recommended from petco. That looks like a good one for me for now. Thank you!

The one Sarah recommended from petco is the one I have for my budgies the petco flight cage that says it's for finches. It really has a LOT of room. The only thing about it is that when you see how to put it together.. It's quite weird |

I am amazed with some directions. I often wonder if they where written by someone that English is not their native language

I got this semi flight cage for $49 at pet smart this past summer its perfect size for 2, and Kyba LOVES the running and short flight hoping room he has when Kylie's chasing him around in it. I guess I set up the perches just right for escape routes and room to flutter to. the center portion opens up all the way  |

Kenny this is the cage I currently have for Willow. I want a second one because I want my birds separate for awhile, so I was thinking getting a larger one like the petco flight cage for when I combine them and so that maybe in the future I could expand the flock a little. But Kenny you think this blue one is good for 2? So many options!

Hi. This is the cage I have for Piper and Snowy. I was reluctant to post it, because I think it is considered a little small for two, especially in the length. However, I really love it. It is very easy to clean. The Grate and the tray each come out separately for cleaning. The bottom contains spilled seeds, etc. well, so they don't get all over the floor. P&S seem very happy in it. They have not regained their flight yet. They have lots of room to climb about. I plan to give them fly time out of the cage when they have regained their flight feathers. At that time, if they seem cramped, I will get them a larger cage. On the other hand, my house is a it small, and I'm not sure ho the finch cage would fit in my living room. I don't have the sense that they feel cramped. I like the finch cage, but I notice that it does not have the large overhand on the bottom to contain seeds. Does the tray on the bottom of the finch cage come out for cleaning, and does it come out all in one piece? I am asking in case I decide to upgrade in size later. Thanks. www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4471001&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo |

Diana, it does come out all in one piece for easy cleaning. However, you are correct in that the cage doesn't have the seed guard so it does get quite messy sometimes. However, the seed cups that come with the cage also come with lids, so they're easy to clean. The messy parts are the additional seed dishes I bought elsewhere
