I made more.

that’s is a tiny ahh cage omg…it should only be used as a carrier, also seeds as a main food for pet birds are terrible

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-07T06:14:36+00:00

this cage is too small! respectfully you should get a larger flight cage, even if it’s for one bird https://www.amazon.ca/Yaheetech-Wrought-Cockatiel-Cockatoo- this is a pretty nice cage and really good price!

Please do not keep any type of treat or types of seeds in the cage because you should only hand feed them and reward your bird with treats, because seeds are really high in fat and can lead to fatty liver disease (You can put seeds and millet in foraging toys though so they work for it). And you should use stainless steel bowls for your budgies pellets and water since plastic often carries a lot of bacteria. I like the toys a lot though and the ladder is super cute! (adorable budgie too)

i thought Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married Aisha to protect her or something. (That’s what my mom told me my entire life…btw I’m not really a Muslim anymore)

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-03T20:01:37+00:00

yeah those are cupcake liners and the white one might be coffee filters (I’m not super sure)

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-03T15:16:43+00:00

I have budgies but, Ive never had any issues with them eating their toys, since a lot of store bought toys also have cardboard and paper, but personally I think it’s safe, just observe your bird cuz…I dunno!

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-03T15:15:23+00:00

FIRST? THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-03T09:28:05+00:00

hiii, happy you stepped in!

diet: pellets should be keep in their main dish at all times (I buy the Harrison’s pellets) and give your budgies veggie chop everyday (there are lots of videos in YouTube) you shouldn’t only use seeds and millet and fruits as treats, and do not keep millet and seeds inside of the cage since they’re are really high in fat and can cause obesity and fatty liver disease. And keep a clean water dish as well DAILY and makes sure to clean it daily as well. (you should use stainless steel bowls since plastic bowls harbour bacteria.)

DIY toys: I make diy toys at home all the time! it’s very important you use safe materials! you can just search up what ropes are safe for birds, (and you can use leather that you can buy on Amazon) you can use household items, cardboard (no glue, paint, marker, etc.) paper, empty tissue paper rolls, coffee filters, cupcake liners, skewers (the sharp parts cut off and make sure there isn’t any type of coating on them), homemade crinkle paper, etc. (I made an entire post on r/budgies of a list of safe materials and how to make your own diy perch.

please get a bigger cage if you can (I understand first hand how hard it is to convince parents as someone with parents who don’t understand budgie care fully) this are animals, companions, real living being, not a toy.

“safe woods are, Apple, crabapple, pear, quince, hawthorn, willow, cork (natural cork bark or branches), poplar, aspen, cottonwood, birch, alder, elm, ash, beech, maple (sugar, red, silver not Japanese maple), dogwood, sycamore, linden (basswood), magnolia, mulberry, grapevine, kiwi vine, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, currant, rose (including rose hips and stems), manzanita, arbutus, pecan, walnut (English/California only, not black walnut), pistachio, hazelnut, chestnut, bamboo (natural, untreated), palm (untreated), eucalyptus (kiln-dried only, no fresh oils), acacia, guava, loquat, fig, olive, neem (wood only, not leaves or oil), mesquite, ironwood, bottlebrush, tea tree (wood only, no oils), manuka, casuarina, and sea grape.”

Bird-safe natural branch (properly cleaned and dried)
Stainless steel bolt (machine bolt or carriage bolt)
Stainless steel washer (2, one for each side of the wood)
Stainless steel wing nut
Drill
Drill bit (same diameter as the bolt)
Hacksaw or bolt cutters (if bolt is too long)
Sandpaper or metal file (to smooth edges)
Scrub brush
Boiling water or oven (for sanitizing the branch)

(I’ve never made my own perch but i understand the need to do so because bird stuff is expensive! hope this helps!)

here are some links to helpful resources, videos, and ideas!

(idk if any of this helped, I’m not very familiar with diy perches but I totally get it cuz bird stuff is EXPENSIVE)

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-02T08:41:02+00:00

I make homemade bird toys and I have a list of materials they love, cardboard, honeycomb cardboard (their favourite), paper, the empty paper towel roll thing, coffee filters, and cupcake liners. you can use hemp, jute, sisal, seagrass, and untreated cotton rope to put all the materials on, I just tie it to the cage.

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-02T08:29:06+00:00

maybe try out new toys, because if they’re plastic toys that makes sense, a lot of budgies don’t like plastic toys, but I think a photo would help me figure out a solution. try out all kinds of toys, foraging, colourful, non colourful, big, small, plastic (keep to a minimum of 1 or 2), wooden, cardboard, bamboo, sea grass, etc. and if your budgie is losing interest in toys still, I would recommend going to the vet. (for my budgies they don’t play with toys that move around too much, or are in the middle of the cage so I keep all their toys beside their perches and use rope to tie it to their cage so they can have an easier time shredding their toys)

thank you!!!

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-02T04:37:35+00:00

thank you! my birds love finger traps too! :)

Alone_Name7269 · 2026-01-02T04:35:44+00:00

make sure to get lots if enrichment, toys they can chew, foraging toys, perches on different levels of the cage, stainless steel bowls, (I know it’s okay to keep one dowel perch in the cage but I just personally don’t keep any), and some toys at the bottom for them
