Best Cage for Two budgies?

[mehrfarbig]

I currently have a single budgie but I am looking at rescuing a second to keep him company so hopefully he'll stop fancying my Ringneck.

What cage is good for 2 budiges? My current cage is the Large Hagen Vision with the narrow bar spacing, but looking at it I don't see how two budgies would fit?

My other bird has the Montana double flight all to himself so maybe I'm just so used to having a huge cage this one looks tiny. 😂

If the buds will get cage out time then the Vision is quite adequate. I kept two in sucha a cage for quite a hile. I now have the Hatherly flight cage (similar to the large one you have) and house 3 in it I did have two and there was masses of room. So I woudl say the bigger the better.

The bigger, the better always, but it has to be able to fit into your life. The cage your Ringneck is in is a great cage; do you have room for something similar for the budgies? So much depends on how much out-of-cage they would get.

Don't forget that you would need to quarantine your new bird for around a month, 4 weeks, so you really would need another cage, anyway.

I already have a quarantine cage so I'm alright in that aspect.

Sadly I can't get a cage as big as Mojo's for the budgies. I wish! Just don't have the space. 😭

Do you have a picture so I can see?

Took me ages to decide on my ringnecks cage as most were too tall or bar spacing too wide!!! I could get one like Mojo's but half size thing that ve good size for two.

I do have pictures but nothing to compare with. The Hatherly cage is slightly larger in all dimensions than the one you have for Mojo. They do take quite a lot of space up. I don't know of a cage that is sort of in between the Vision Large and something like the Montana. It may be worth looking at the Ferplast range, they seem to have quite a variation. I know we have some members that have the piano 5 & 6 cages so they would be able to describe them for you. Ideally you need to be able to compare sizes other than looking at pictures. I will ffind a picture out for you.

I was considering Ferplast Piano 6 originally but no stand for it available!

I found one but it always same issue too tall...not that much wider than the Hagen vision.

Your link shows the cage that I have. I don't seem to have one in my collection as all my pictures are of the buds.
You seem to be on a bit of a quest with what you need. Sorry I can't help further.

I bought this coffee table off Gumtree for my Ferplast cage. It was £10 and the best bit is that it’s on wheels so easy to move the cage.

[mehrfarbig]

That looks great, so hard to find wheeled tables. Can't wait to get one with wheels. lol

Think I'm just going to get the Ferplast Planeta Bird Aviary as I read terrible reviews for site that sells the cage I was considering!

My new rescue budgie is coming Wednesday. He'll spend 6 weeks in quarantine and then I'll slowly introduce him to Spike and hopefully all going well they'll eventually live together in the large cage!!!

It doesn't meet all requirements but doubtful I'll find the perfect cage. lol

This is the one I have. As far as I'm concerned, it ticks all the boxes.

[mehrfarbig]

I didn't dare get that one as trust pilot had awful reviews. lol

I ended up getting the ferplast Planeta Aviary in end can't say it the best cage lol
