Two of my budgie's sleep hanging on the wire of their cages.. i noticed last night that Sam was in the corner and he had one "foot" on one side of the cage and the other on the opposite side.. i think that might be so he stays there.. Do other budgies do that? Also, two of my younger ones are very destructive.. what can i do about it? my little guy chewed through a branch i had in his cage.. and the girl chews on everything..

Budgies will frequently sleep on the side of their cages- completely normal :wub: The chewing is also completely normal and very important for keeping their beaks trim so keep offering the branches :wub:

lol okay, i don't understand how they can find it comfortable though.. i guess it's like how horses sleep standing up.. i just put more branches in :wub:

Just like dog, birds love chewing and shreading things to pieces! Its totally natural and very good for body and mind. Its great if you can keep replacing branche for them to chew. Also try toys that stimulate their mind. Insight bird products have a few "thinking toys" but there are many out their on the market. It keeps them entertained and healthy!

Good idea, i'm going to the shops tomorrow so i'll heaps :wub:

Also you can make some of your own. Tie large gumnuts to their perches, try a rat wheel and add native branches with flowers and seeds on them too as they will enjoy those :wub:
