So I've had a big cage that my best friends mom gave me that she used for her cockatiels but I think a lot of space is wasted. I know about giving them room to move but I' not looking for a cage for 200.00 Their current cage dimesions are 21L 15W 32 H. I heard the longer cages are better. Any thoughts and if so can I get some recommendations for cages

My opinion is that no cage is too big, even for just one or two budgies. When you think about how much space they'd have if they were free to fly around outside, then no cage can be too much space.

I have read that it would be better if 32 inches was the length, rather than the height. The finch cage looks good. One thing about the finch cage is that I would put the perches perpendicular to the longer side (parallel to the short side), to make it easier for the budgies to fly back and forth. I have seen the finch cage set up with the perches running the length of the cage. To me, this partially defeats the purpose of enabling the budgies to fly easily.

There is no wasted space in a parrot's cage: the more room they have to exercise and stretch, the stronger, healthier and happier they will be. Always give a bird the biggest cage available to you.

Yes I have being looking at cages like the finch one. I do allow them to fly freely in my room when Im in there for a bit. Bu also to allow them to get excerise and have more room to roam around then they current cage. Especially on days were I have to do 12 hours shifts at the clinic which is 3 times a week
