I just recently got all my budgie back from my mother who was looking after them since the start of the year. Having gotten used to the quiet of a budgieless room, I'm finding it quite hard to get re-used to the noise that 11 budgies make. They live in my bedroom as I currently flat with other students.

I was wondering how many budgies you have, the noise level they make and where in the house you keep them.

I was also wondering if budgie noise can damage your ears?

I love my fids, but I may have to purchase an aviary and put half of them outside so that the noise is lessened inside and I can study.

Do you find that less budgies make less noise?

You might have to invest in a set of headphones and play some music while you study :rip:

Tee hee, I've just bought some earplugs

hahahaha ear plugs

and YES the more there are the more noise!!!

I can only imagine the noise issues you have!!! My 6 budgies and 2 tiels make plenty of noise and they are outside. Good luck with finding a solution, but I must warn you... if you get an aviary, get a big one as I'm sure you'll get some extras to fill it :rip:

Only problem is I am renting and I'm not allowed any more birds. I'm actually supposed to be selling some!!

11 birds in one room? Noisy, smelly, cramped, gee, running otu of adjectives here.

I feel dirty when i have birds living inside... All mine live outside, in close proximity to my bedroom window, about 2-3 m... god only knows how many birds there are (Laughing out loud)... I don't have a problem with the extreme noise though, i enjoy waking up to it and during the day it doesn't bother me, then at night as soon as it's dark they're silent... so works well for me :rip:

well I can hear Merlin outside if the doors are all shut and I am outside in my backyard (so I would say around 15 ft from the house), and in the summer well if you are around the house outside you can hear him especially when he is chattering a storm. I found Pretty and Merlin together were really a racket (Laughing out loud) I can't imagine having 11 in one room right next too me I would have to get an outside aviary too.

:hap: Try 7, (one is a foster but has now joined the rest post 2 months quarantine and is much happier anf friendlier). And I am always vacuuming and dusting as my tiels, budgies and lovies live in MY living quarters!!! Right now the only people I have in my spare bedroom are 2 guinea pigs. Again, with fostering animals/birds, I want to socialize them as much as possible. Having said that, NOBODY will ever end up in MY bedroom!

I used to have two lizards in cages in my bedroom. But for those who have lizards, know just before they are about to empty their bowels, they run around like a... well, you know! AND my big boy Albert used to do that most mornings at 6am... thanks for that wake up!!!
