Budgies do enjoy mirrors and this is a great way to enhance environmental enrichment so they have their reflection to talk to and look at. I would rotate the mirror in and out every couple of weeks as mirrors can sometimes cause behavioral problems with these birds. I rotate mirrors out every 1-2 weeks with my budgie and he loves talking to his reflection. I like this because I am gone working so much during the day so it keeps him occupied.
