Brand New Budgie
I am a newly 'bereaved' budgie owner as my quirky Joe died yesterday so I am gazing at budgies!

After losing my beautiful Skippy, today I have been given a pale primrose 9-week-old budgie. I had a lovely cage, plenty of space and easy to look after -- I have to have helpers so that 'easy' has to be factored in! -- but when my youngster was put in, to my horror the head and shoulders were already poking through the bars! Quick decant into small cage. However, the choosing of a cage is more tasking than I had imagined. Can anyone suggest a good source of suitable cages? I would be grateful for suggestions so my youngster can have space plus safety. Pat

Thank you for cage suggestions. I have a wonderful Houdini wreaking havoc in his/her cage at the moment and exploring every getoutable place she can find. She has kicked all her seed onto the cage bottom and only a tail can be seen of a contented budgie snoozing in the seed pot. Am now going on the hunt for a white -- not black -- cage with bar space less than the wonderful 1-inch of the cage I had prepared!

Bar spacing for budgies should be no more than 15mm - 12mm is better. I hope you don't regret the white cage - they do look dirtier and don't blend into the background or room as well.
