A budgie cage needs covered water cups for drinking.

Note: don't get the water cup with the attached perch, they can get their head stuck in the perch part. This happened to my Henry bird, thank god we were in the room to help him. He was traumatized for weeks.

Various perches of varying widths and textures for budgie-foot-health.

Each budgie in the cage should have their own bowl to eat from to discourage bickering and fights.

Make sure any cement perches are lower in the cage as these aren't good for budgies to stand on for long periods of time.

Place the best perches high in the cage as budgies will like to perch as high as possible.

Avoid sand paper perches as these can tear up the tender skin of budgies feet.

Avoid placing perches over food/water bowls as this will contanimate the water.

Also provide a cuttlebone for calcium.

Be sure to secure all doors of the budgie cage with a stainless steel pear quick link.

Budgies are clever and can easily lift those doors and get their head stuck, freak out and get hurt.
