Budgie Perches

Budgie Perches

Perches for a budgie should be offered in an assortment of sizes, heights, textures, and materials (i.e., rope). This will ensure your budgie can exercise their feet, which may help prevent sores.

Budgie perches should be a minimum of 4 inches long and 3/8 inch in diameter. Wider perches will limit proper gripping, which can lead to falls and other serious injuries.

To prevent bird droppings from soiling their water or food bowls, avoid placing perches directly above the budgie’s feeding bowls. Be sure to replace any worn or damaged perches for safety reasons.

Budgie Lighting

To supplement UV exposure when natural sunlight is limited, a full-spectrum UV light available on Amazon designed for birds should be used 10–12 hours per day.
