I have a giant parrot cage for my Budgies but sadly my parents decided that I bring the cage downstairs or the birds have to go  ? So tomorrow I am bringing their cage to basement into my room, I think they'll be fine because I still have a window in it. I was wondering do you think it would be a good idea to let my birds have free roam of my room?? |

I am confused: Your room is in the basement also? Or are you asking is it okay to bring the birds from the basement all the way to your room?
So long as your basement is mostly finished, there is adequate light and you can go down there to be with them for a decent amount of time, then it should be fine.

Yes it's finished it just has cement floors! We also have a window and I'm in there for over 6 hrs daily! I was wondering if I should let them free roam my room and have no cage

Ah. So, I guess your parents were tired of the noise or needed the space?
Your birds should be okay in your downstairs room. You may want to put a light near the cage.
As far as free roam: It is probably best to allow this when you are there to make sure they don't get into a problem area. There can be hazards you wouldn't even think of until you watch what the birds get into. Just one example: electric cords. Or, you may find they start chewing up your books or other papers. I once had a budgie chew up half a page of a book I was reading. I had left it open on my desk.

I guess it was a tiny tiny bit for noise but it was almost all space

You should never, ever, be totally without a cage to put your birds in. It is a safety issue. It's fine to let them roam free outside when you are there - but a cage? is as much protection as restraint for the bird. Suppose while you were not able to watch them, they chewed through an electrical wire? They could die, and possibly even start a fire. What if a window is broken unexpectedly? What if, what if? When you are with your birds, you can deal with problem situations. When they are alone, they need to be restrained for their own safety
