Hello! My introduction to budgies came about in August of 2020 when two budgies showed up at my wild bird feeders.. I live in the midwest and knew they wouldn't survive predator hawks or winter, so after purchasing two cages and two budgies, I was able to catch both of them(it took 3 weeks...) Mr. Green Jellybean and Blue Bird now live with Ditto the Decoy and Skittles. Now yesterday I was at the pet store getting a new filter for my fishtank and saw an all white budgie. I could not help myself....so now I've welcomed Moonbeam and her cage mate Kokopelli to the flock. They are currently quarantining in a separate cage. I am excited to find this website and look forward to hearing about others budgies!
How large is the cage you are planning to house these 6 budgies in once the quarantine period is over? Length x Width x Height.
I would not recommend keeping 6 birds in anything smaller than a Prevue Hendryx F050.
It sounds as though you have mixed genders so you need to ensure you are doing everything necessary to prevent breeding.
