How long can it be alone?

23 9:49:43

Question
My brother and I want to get 2 Budgies, but we want to know how long we can leave it alone and if we can ceep them both in one cage.

Answer
If you get them from 2 different sources, you will want to quarantine them separate for 30 days.  After that, you can put them in the same cage.  If you got them from the same place and they've already been in contact with each other, isolation isn't necessary.

You just want to be careful to make sure that you select the genders you want.  If you don't want baby budgies, you probably shouldn't put a male in with a female.

Let me know if you need more help,
