Budgies need a spacious cage that allows them to fly and exercise. The minimum size cage for one budgies is 18″ x 18″ x 24″. 

If you have the room, a larger cage is better. The bar spacing on the cage should be no more than ½” to prevent your budgie from getting stuck.

The inside of the cage should be filled with toys and perches for your budgie to play with and climb on. 

Budgies love to chew, so offer them plenty of chew toys made of safe materials such as balsa or sola wood and/or paper.
