Hey, my name is Kile! I read on this forum for advice frequently so I thought I'd join it. My first bird was a Starling... not the most common pet I know, but I found her as a nestling fallen from a nest in the barn this spring and I planned on raising her for release thinking she was a blackbird, and what a turn of events that was. Now she lives with me . Later in the summer I thought she seemed a bit lonely so I decided to get her a budgie as a friend. Ended up integrating them into the same cage and it worked out pretty well. Got another budgie to join them recently too. The two budgies became fast friends and don't seem to mind the starling. Don't worry, I have a decently large flight cage they live in with a divider in the middle for breeding or other situations. Also have a separate flight cage for playing or in case of needing to separate a sick bird, more room to play when I take vacations, etc. I let them out to play in my room as well. Its nice to meet you all, and greetings from the birds!

Quick question also, what do you think about having a 3rd budgie join the mix? There was one I saw that was white with a pretty blue marking on its belly, almost in the shape of a butterfly. I feel like bringing it home, it's the cutest little thing, but not sure how the relationship will work out with the birds I have already and I don't want to get myself into trouble with it. Let me know what you think! The cage is 5-6 feet wide, around 3 feet tall and close to 2 feet in depth. Not sure if that sounds small without a photo reference but it is pretty big in person. When I use the divider in the middle occasionally the left side is used for the budgies and the right for the starling. Another thing to take into consideration is that if I have to separate the birds completely and put 1 or 2 in the separate flight cage, there isn't exactly room for 2 flight cages to fit comfortable in my bedroom for the next few years... we don't have a specific "bird room" but maybe I could figure something out. I've had good luck with the current birdies so far and don't want anything to go wrong. Thanks!
