Hello sorry for the late reply. I have had them all for over a year. I have two Bourke parakeets and four budgies. I have three male budgies, one female budgie, one male Bourke and I can't be certain about my other one but I believe she is a female based on some previous research I had done. They are all paired in three separate cages. Each cage has its own heater. The two Bourke's are together in a fairly big cage (they are bigger with longer tails than budgies) the budgies which are in pairs are in two smaller cages (not too small), I can't entirely remember the dimensions. They are out pretty much all day everyday with access to their cages if they want inside, there are food and water provided on the outside of their cages during the day when they're out. They are all flighted so they fly around as much as they please. Them being out all day is why I don't really worry too much about their cage sizes since they're big enough to move around in whilst inside but they really only sleep in them since they're out all the time. They have a bed time though, a routine I've held with them since I got them.
