Avoid bamboo cages or any material your budgie could chew through to escape.
Budgies can groom themselves often. If your budgerigar is in physiological condition, you’ll notice them cleaning their feathers, scratching their beak on numerous surfaces around the cage, and even having a shower.
INTRODUCING NEW BUDGIES TO OLDER BUDGIE
Budgies are easy-going. Many budgies are different from each other, it comes to types if it is male budgie, female budgie, small budgie, or older budgie. At first, they don’t like to share their room with other new companions but from the passage of time, they started interacting with each other.

If they react wired, at first don’t put one budgie into another budgie’s cage or with a pair of budgies, even if the birds appear to be getting along outside the cage.
This sounds like placing a stranger in your bedroom without your consent. Keep the cages side-by-side and allow socialization to take place in neutral territory so they can interact with each other in separate cages. The budgies will ultimately select the residence they prefer, by introductory visits to one another’s cages.
This safer introduction to living arrangements will help reduce the quarreling and bickering. Once you bought your new budgie, keep it separate in its own cage during quarantine, start training your new
budgie.
When you finally introduce your birds to one another, place them in neutral territories — such as a play stand and allow them to choose their favorite cage. This method will allow both parakeets to remain tame and interact with you, as well as with one another.

Do you have appropriate housing for your budgie?
Can you provide daily time outside of the cage for your budgie? Are you able to give them attention? Are you aware that birds can be vocal and have you checked this is acceptable to your family and neighbors? A healthy budgie should have clean and smooth feathers, an alert and upright posture, clear and regular breathing, and no discharge around its beak, eyes, or ears.
If you’re a first-time budgie parent, first you must start with one new bird. Budgies are flock birds and do best once given lots of attention, by you and/or a cage mate. If you opt to deal with 2 budgies alone, you would like the cage to be as huge as you’ll afford for the space you have available.
The cage probably is going to be wherever your budgies can pay most of their time, therefore you would like the cage for 2 birds to be double the scale as a cage for one. The budgies can jump around from perch to perch and fly from aspect to aspect, therefore you would like lots of area for enjoying, moreover as an area for toys, ledges, multiple food bowls, and different accessories, while not the cage feeling cluttered.
Though, budgies are sociable will show a great response if they have a partner at least once. If budgies fly singe for long periods of time, they can become lonely, depressed, and sick. Having a companion will keep them happy and joyful.

Hi,
I have 4 budgies since about 7 months. They’re adults now. I have never taken them out of the cage because I’m not sure if I’d be able to get them back in.
I like the idea of getting them out once in a while though. I live in India and we live in apartments. There is no outdoor area or a ln empty room where I can take them out and leave them be for a few hours.
Yet id like to try. However, I have no idea how would I get 4budgies back in the cage.
Any tips? Also they don’t let me touch them or perch on my fingers.
Hi.
First of all, you are in the right place. Keep reading articles on this webpage.
Spend a lot of time with your birds, gradually getting closer to them, gaining their trust. You have to be patient, or you cause more harm to the birds and to your relationship with them.
If you want to let them out, close the door and window, make the room safe for them. That day, do not feed them (but give them water), only when you want them to go back to the cage. Then they will go home because they are hungry.
