Hello. I would bring & keep the cage inside if its cold. Let us have more info about your set-up it

will make it easer to help you as you seem to be a novice. We love to help......B.J.

hi, thanks for the reply B.Jthe cage is wire all around with the nesting box at the bottom so it would be pretty easy for the wind to get through, i got a inverted water and feeder tube in both cages. i jst want to point out that when i brang them home they wouldnt go into their nesting box inside the house, as soon as i put them outisde they went into the nesting box so what should i do? wait until the babies hatch? although im scared the cold will kill the babies before i even get a chance to put them inside, it is a bit of a tricky situtation any advice??

Budgies are very hardy were they out side when you brought them

The temperatures you get in Melbourne are similar to the ones we get here and my birds are breeding in outside cages. They need protection from the wind but otherwise manage the lower temperatures well

yeah they were outisde, thanks for all the help ill just cover them up at night with a blanket, thanks again.
