Special surprise for my budgies

[AlbertaAviary]

When I was getting my first budgie Yoshi, the first thing I had to do was get him a cage. I bought one of those standard budgie cages. You know, the ones that are too small for e en a finch? Yeah. But at that time, I didn't know any better. When I got my second budgie Cocoa, I put her in the same cage.

The cage has enough room for a couple small perches and a couple small toys. I rotate their toys every time I clean the cage. After having Yoshi and Cocoa a few months, I've realized it's time for a new cage,a bigger one. I went to petsmart to look at some. I found three larger ones. Two of them were ridiculously over priced and even a terrible design. The third one I found was a parrot starter cage so it came with parrot food and such. My budgies don't need all that!

My dad suggested kijiji. After looking in kijiji for only a couple minutes, I found two great possible cages at great prices! I've already sent the emails to the current owners of the cages. I just hope one is available! When I get the bigger cage, I think I'll go to a pet store to buy different kinds of perches and bigger toys.

So that is my special surprise for my budgies

If your not in the inner city or something I would suggest buying a saw instead of perches healthiest option for your little budgies feet is natural branches, if your able to go someplace where there are bird safe trees and saw up appropriate sized perches. I try avoiding smooth dowels/perches as much as I can. I got 3 of them though that needs to be there to hold a playstand together, those I've wrapped with hemp rope to make em more uneven. The Playstand originally came with smooth wood perches for the ladders etc, I never even mounted them, I went outside making natural ones and then just occationally gives my lil amazon one as a foot toy rather than a perch.

If your not in a place where you can get branches from a safe tree I'd recommend trying to find natural branches online or something to get them shipped to you, I got Polarn from a breeder and this breeder will allow you to go into his woods to fetch branches etc, he even offered me to go out whenever I needed him too and fix branches for me of desired size and length to send em to me, but I got a big forest behind my house but I like people who cares where their offspring goes and how their future looks like.
