The floor should be covered with a sand sheet, or sheets of newspaper. Never used paper with coloured newsprint as it is often toxic. Budgerigars are very greagrious and enjoy the company of humans. For this reason a family or rumpus room is an ideal location for the cage. Avoid kitchen areas as cooking fumes from overheated nonstick cookware is toxic.
Budgerigars require a constant room temperature.
Rapid and extreme changes of temperature must be avoided as these can be fatal. Your budgerigar's cage should be placed in a draught free area. Air conditioned rooms are acceptable so long as the bird is kept away from direct airflow. Advisory Service Australia Pty. Ltd. Content Copyright.
