I hardly ever let out my birds for a fly, because my house is a 'open' house, so my Kitchen, living room, dining room and hallway have no doors they are just connected and I can't let them in my room because there is a giant mirror that is covering my wardrobe, Like in the sliding doors to my wardrobe. My birds live in the washhouse, near the washing machine and a door links to outside and the living room. I'm not sure if the Wash house is the right place for them though. ANd I hate to say occainally a mouse comes under the door that leads to outside and once I caught them eating the birds seed! Also it's a hassle getting them back into their cage and it stresses them out. so these are my questions- 1. Should I leave them in the wash house- Why\Why Not? 2. Should I let them fly even though they are breeding? Why\Why Not? 3. Where should I let them fly? Thankyou! Pics, Where I keep them-   |

You should not leave them in the wash house. First of all, you can't have wildlife interacting with your birds. That increases the chances of them contracting any manner of diseases by a thousandfold. Secondly, if this is the room in which your family does laundry, it is too close to too many chemicals that could be harmful for your pets. You need to have your birds in a family room, where they can be interacted with and cared for all the time. They need to feel in the thick of things, as they would within a flock.
You should not give out of cage time to a breeding pair. They need to attend to breeding and rearing their chicks. Take the time while they are breeding to come up with a safe place for them to fly. You could find a way to suspend a sheet over the mirror in your room, or some string or ribbons to show them that they cannot fly through it for example.

Well the reason why they are in there is because my mum thinks there too loud, and she gets cranky when she's trying to watch TV XD
She doesn't want me to them in my room cause there too messy.

As long as you clean cage etc I do not see how they are to messy. As Sarah said washroom is not safe for your birds.

The birds are going to be messy all the time, so you will need to clean anyway xD I keep mine in my room, I have to clean the floor eeeveryday because there are always seeds or fruit/veggies leftovers and even poop! But I don't really mind cleaning all that x)

Ok! When we do my room spring clean I'll ask my mum if I can find a place in my room to fit them in, I mean messy as in- when they eat their seed shells fall on the floor.

Whoa, there's some serious lounging going on in your lounge!  Janaya, I really wouldn't wait until spring to see if you can move your budgies to your room. They really need to be out of the washroom as soon as you can get them out of there. They need to live around the family. You'll just have to clean up around their cage everyday, so it never has a chance to get real bad. |
