Oh how big and beautiful! I am sure they will be thrilled with it before you know it!

Yay!! I'm so glad you got it for your budgies! I hope you and your birds will love it as much as my birds and I love ours.  |

Yeah they are still in shell shock mode. This morning i found the green and yellow one clinging to the front bars of the cage, hanging onto the very top bar with it's beak. It had apparently slept their most or part of the night, no idea why.

My experience with Shasta doing that is when he's not quite ready to venture into unknown territory so he stays somewhere he's already been forced to explore. And he does that in the car if it gets too bumpy to sit on his perch.

I went to the pet store to get more toys since there aren't nearly enough to fill up that massive cage, and they had a pair of dusky conures there. So adorable......

Ooooh, such a dangerous thing, going to the pet store for toys or food and letting your eyes drift over to the live birds. Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous,  Diana and Lisa are both currently flirting with this very thing.... Have fun filling your cage with new playthings. Looking at your pictures last night, of your new cage with two tiny budgies in it, reminded me of how mine looked when it first arrived. So huge! Now mine is loaded with all kinds of fun stuff, and it looks less big somehow. Can you please remind me of your budgies, names and genders? |

I was afraid of naming them before i was positive of their sex. They are probably close to a year old now and the green one's cere has gotten quite brown and the blue and white one's cere is definitely blue, so I'm fairly positive they're female and male respectively. I've been tossing around name ideas but haven't settled on any.

Sure sounds like you have a pair. Are you considering couple's names, or any particular theme? We could all toss out some suggestions if you are, just for fun. |

I added quite a few things to the cage. The tidy bird feeders seem to be doing a decent job of cutting down on spills but not eliminating them.  |

Your cage looks great! Lots of fun toys and perches. Lucky little birdies you got there. One suggestion I'd like to make is that if you see either of your budgies spending a majority of their time peering into the mirrors, let those go. Birds can become obsessed with the image in the mirror and would rather spend time with (or protecting) their imaginary friend than playing with people or real birds or real toys. Just keep a careful watch.
Are any names coming to you?

That is a huge cage. I want one. You could have an entire flock living in there.
