It's a nice cage with plenty of toys but the bar spacing looks a bit big to me, I think the recommended size is no more than 12mm for a budgie.

Those toys look great! Have something stringy too- they like nibbling at such things!

I think the bar spacing is fine, Lynne, I think it's just the way the photo has come out. The cage itself is not really big enough, unless the budgie is out of it all day. It looks like it has everything he needs, but look at changing the dowel perches for natural tree branches for optimum foot health.

We do have him out quite a bit in the day and the cage is quite big, might be the way the photo came out.

yes. he flew into my dads friends shop. And he asked if we wanted him. We don't know how old he is. I can post more photos if you would like! Jane

If the bars are budgie size that looks a big perch at the top that's slotted in between the bars compared to the size of the perch on the little swing, that's what I was looking at Hezz

The perch at the top is to hold the cage roof open. But it’s not too big. The bar spacing is fine. He climbs in and out of the cage, it’s quite funny. I appreciate all of the info you have given me as I know hardly anything about budgies compared all of you. Thanks to Hezz for telling me about perches. Now here’s a funny photo of my bird

Marianne Marlow he is eating my phone case. I was trying to get a sweet photo of him but he clambered up my chest and started biting my phone. I thought it was too funny not to take a photo!!

I love it when they do things like that Me too... most of the time anyway. Sometimes when I’m on my computer he’ll jump onto my keyboard and bite my fingers. And the same with my mouse, he loves it, I won’t be using it and he just starts smacking his face on it!
