I'm getting a new budgie soon for the first time, and I'm going to keep it in my room (well, actually the cage will be moved between two rooms, so Budgie can have more of a social life.). I was thinking about keeping the cage in front of a window. The window has no direct light due to surronding buildings, and is alway kept shut. Is this okay? Also, the room that Budgie will be flying in has a frosted window. Do I need to cover it?

Hi Blue Marshmallow, welcome to the forum!

 

Your post has been here six hours, and I can't believe I get to be the first one to respond! Since I'm in the US, I usually see things long after everyone else.

 

I saw your other post, too. I think it's great that you are getting all prepared before you get your budgie friend, and that you are looking for a good breeder. (And that you passed up the questionable pet stores- so many people are so excited to get a pet that they take the first one they see, regardless.)

 

You and your budgie are already off to a great start!

 

As for your questions, I think your windows will probably be fine. As long as it's not a drafty window in the winter time, and as long as direct sun isn't going to make your budgie too hot. I like to let my budgies get sun from the window, I just make sure it's not going to roast them.

 

For the frosted window, I would think your budgie would be able to tell the window is there and not fly into it, like it might on a clear window. Keep in mind though, that until your budgie gets used to the room it will be flying around in, it is very likely to smash itself into the regular wall, and everything else, too. That's why some people clip their birds' wings at first.

 

Well, everyone here loves pictures, so be sure to post some of your new budgie, once you get it!
