Im getting ready to purchase FLIGHT cage or two. I want to keep about 20 budgies and was wondering what you thought of the attached link cage. How many do you think each would house comfortably? I will purchase seperate breeding cages later. The FIRST one or TWO cages will be flight cages.I want to be able to keep an even number of males and females. I am dedicating a entire room in my home to my birds (Spare bedroom) Also are American vs English Budgies easier to raise and keep?? www.bird-cage.com/bird-cages/a-e-double-forte-flight-cage/

This is a lovely cage, Jack. My personal opinion is that you could comfortably keep 6 budgies in each side of this double cage, so 12 altogether. I really like it! In our neck of the woods, the smaller American budgies seem to be far more popular. I believe American budgies live considerably long than English budgies do. I'm excited to see when you have your cages purchased and decked out, and especially when you start getting your birds and posting pictures of them.  Have fun!! |

May I suggest you get 2 to start, 2 birds I mean. That way you can learn about them and as your knowledge increases so can the number you have. Having a learning curve this large with living animals is scary.

Jack, I apologize for saying the cage looked great without taking a more careful look. I'm glad Sarah caught it!

We all must be looking at different cages. The link I posted says that the bars are 1/2 inch apart... I thought that was what was recommended for Budgies... Please tell me after reading about the cage link I posted why it don't meet the needs of Budgies. I also liked the fact its much longer then taller. Please don't misunderstand me as I am just confused about you saying ref the bar spacing. Here's the link again of the one Im talking about Thanks Jack www.bird-cage.com/bird-cages/a-e-double-forte-flight-cage/ |

1/2" should be fine for budgies. It looks to me like that is what this cage has.

I think 1/2" is the old school size, now I believe it's recommended for 3/8" inch or something like that! (It's something with an 8 in the denominator I THINK) but wait for someone else to confirm

1/2 inch is the biggest to be safe enough.... for some reason when I viewed this the first time I must have clicked something wrong, because it said 1 inch.
Irregardless, I still do not recommend your choice - they are not large enough for the money you are spending. If you look at it in terms of the two halves, you are buying two W21 x H27 x L32 cages. That's barely larger than my 18 x 18 x 30 cages that cost $40 dollars each. That's crazy expensive. The f050 interior cage size is W23 x H60 x L37... and the best part besides being larger in every dimension from one of these cage halves? You can buy two of these giants for way less than one of the A & E dual cages.
The one A & E cage is $380 dollars.
Two of the F050 cages are $360 ... plus the added benefit of free shipping and something like twice as much room for birds.
