Budgies!!

How expensive are most cages?

I paid $100 for mine, but I knew I wanted a flight cage because I like my babies to be able to fly around. They really don't use the bottom 1/3 of the cage much though. I would say that width is more important then having a cage that is super high. They love to hop from level to level, but don't like to be low. You can find every cage at Petco, etc for $20 less on Amazon, and 10 times the selection. You can also look on Craigslist, sometimes they have good used cages too, though I still find Amazon to be the cheapest.

How many birds are you planning on getting? That makes a big difference in the cage you will need.

Awesome! I found one I LOVED on ebay. I'm trying to see if it's worth using my only hundred...

I have four budgies, but I am planning on breeding and selling the chicks.

Since it's gonna be in your house and it's gonna be there for a while, get one that you love. Feeling proud of their "house" and sure that they are happy in it is priceless (almost .

I think I need to give my new budgies some time to settle down.

My parakeets don't like the bottom, either. It's just their poop container LOL. But they love to fly around!

What do you use as a cage liner? I get packing/moving paper from Home Depot and cut it to size. It come in a roll of about 100 sheets, so it lasts for a while. The liners the pet stores seek seem so expensive....

By the way, I had no idea there was a budgie forum on this site when I joined...who knew it would be so much fun! No one I know has birds, so it's actually really nice to be able to finally talk about them! Thanks for the fun thread!
