    A cage that is 2 foot wide by a foot and a half deep and a foot and a half tall is fine for 2 budgies. They need a wider cage ratrher than a taller one as they need to be able to fly across the cage from one perch to another.

    Like this http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r145/kazzart/mo... but run the perches front to back each side of the cage.

    The cage for two budgies needs to be at least 1 1/2 feet wide, one foot long, and 1 1/2 long.

    Make sure not to scare them or bother them the first 1-2 days, as then tehy will never ever bond with you. Though they probably wont anyway because you are getting two.

    you decide on it approximately 22"L X 24"W X 51"H; or you're able to desire to purchase separate cages. I actually have a million parakeet, I had one approximately 4 years in the past that I omit dearly too. some toys i could propose a ladder for them and approximately 3 or 4 perches in distinct sizes via fact birds decide directly to alter sizes. A mirror, they love mirrors so the can seem at themselves. purchase a bell for a poultry too, they decide directly to jingle issues additionally. i could purchase a swinging perch and a rope that hangs for them too. additionally, you will choose parakeet seed, supply them occasional treats like end result, no longer something cooked. they are going to need a foodstuff cup and a water cup. sparkling the water approximately each and every 5 days, or so. they decide directly to bathe in it too, so perhaps you are able to comprise a showering spot.
