Budgies

Hello, Can I have 5 budgies as odd number in one large cage?

Hi Yaz,

This isn’t a good idea. Usually the birds will pair off, regardless of sex, and the odd bird will get left out and often bullied. If you have a really large cage, you can put 4 together or get one more bird so all 6 can live together. Never give them nest boxes or anything they can use as a nest or they will start to fight. You can only have one pair of birds per cage if you want to breed them.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
