Should I really?

Question
Hi Leah! Do you think I should buy a bigger cage for my budgies after they breed? The current cage is small and can't hold their chicks. What should the dimensions be for the cage and what company?

Answer
I suppose it depends on if you are planning on keeping their chicks.  If it will soon be just the pair again, it should be okay.  If you want to move them, wait until the chicks are about five weeks old first.  The size you need will also depend on how many chicks they have.  Dimensions are tricky, some cages have very strange shapes.  Go with a medium to large cage.  Shop around, and find one you think will be less crowded.
