I bought 7 azalea plants today (cheap only $1.50 each) and I was thinking when they're bigger I'd like to put a couple in the aviary to brighten it up.

 

Do budgies eat them?

Yes, they're totally poisonous to people too. Plant them in your front yard or something, just to look at. Don't make any salads out of them.
