Posted January 4, 201114 yr hi, obviosly i am new to this forum. i currantly have 3 budgies, 2 male, and one juvenile, which i am not sure of the gender is yet. i have one large cage which they are all in. it is about 160cm tall, 800cm wide, and a deptyh of 51cm. it contains a breeding box (not that im expecting anything in it at the moment) i have two small cages (one which once contained the juvenile budgie, which i planned to keep as a domestic pet, but it became hard to tame after i put the cage next to the main one, an it became paniced every time it heard the other birds, so i ended up putting it in with the others) the cage mentioned above is 49cm tall, 43cm wide, and a depth of 35.5cm the small cage i found at a local tip, with very little damage, i am planning to clean it up and use it. its dimentions are, 61.5cm tall, 44cm wide and a depth of 35cm i might be getting two budgies of breeding age from someone i work with, one male, and one female. cage might also be concluded. my goal is to breed budgies, and sell them (im not expecting to make much of a profit, it will mainly be a hobby) so yeah that is the basic run down of my current situation.
January 4, 201114 yr Hi and welcome. First word of advice.......remove the nestbox. Not only do you not need it in a cage with three budgies but you have a juvenile in there that ( if it was female ) would be provoked into breeding too young by the presence of the nestbox. Only use a nestbox if you have a male and female only in the cage and both are over 12 months and the female is under 4 years.
January 4, 201114 yr Author okay thanks. yeah i was aware of the ages for breeding but i didnt know that it could provoke the young one into breeding to early. it has only been out of the nest for 3 weeks. i cant remove it but i am able to slide down the little door the is above it, so i will do.
