What would be the max of budgies in a cage this size: 48"L X 36"H X 24"W?

and what about: 100cm L X 80cm H X 55cm W?

 

Thanks

Hi cory, the forum generally seem to go with the more space the better, i would think from those cage sizes perhaps up to six give or take a" fighter" or two, most important is that they all get on! It seems that most fighters are the ladies re. breeding issues so perhaps keep the sexes separated? Good luck.

If you plan to breed in there, then 2 budgies only.

 

If you just want them to live in there, then i would say 6 -8 would be happy

Thanks

I won't breed them in that cage.. I'm in the process of building breeding cabinets. So far I have four in that cage.. and I think I'll go with 6.. max 8.. thanks for the help

 

My birds seem to get along most of the time..and yes the girls are the ones that start all the arguments.. but nothing serious. Do I have to keep the sexes separated? There's nothing in the cage that resembles a nest.

No............mixed cages are fine. Its always the girls that will fight over the best perches when settling down at night, so make sure there are a good few perches high up for them. If one wants to sleep on a swing they all will so sometimes removing a swing for the night is a good move if the hens bicker over it.

Nothing resembling a good place to lay eggs means you should not have to worry about egglaying.

Thanks for the advice as always

 

I do have a lot of high perches in the cage and each budgie has their own swing, so no troubles at night at all.. they only seem to fight for their favorite toys even though they have alot and I mean alot of them.. they just seem to want the same thing at the same time always Especially Sky, my oldest hen which was the first budgie of the flock.
