How many perches do parakeets need?

Parakeets need at least two perches in their cage, although more than that is usually desirable. For maximum enrichment, be sure to include multiple types of perches in various sizes throughout your budgie’s cage and position them at different heights, if possible. More is often better, but don’t crowd the cage—make sure your bird still has plenty of room to fly around.

Why do parakeets chew on wood perches?

Parakeets chew on wood perches for a variety of reasons. Don’t worry, though—this is a perfectly natural behavior. Parakeets like to explore, play, and exercise by leading with their beaks, and chewing on wood perches is part of that. Plus, chewing on wood helps keep budgies’ beaks trimmed and healthy. For this reason, you’ll need to monitor the condition of your wood perches regularly and replace them if you notice signs of roughness or too much wear.
