My budgies and finches are in their cage too much. What can I do?

Question

I have 2 budgies and 2 zebra finches that I love, but I feel like it is unfair for them to be in a cage all day. I need some advise on what I should do. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 4 months old

Without knowing the size of the cage, it is hard to give advice. If they have a large flight cage where they can easily move around and exercise, then that may be enough. Adding in some fun toys to explore, moving dishes and toys around or rotating them out, offering treats to chew on, etc can all help increase enrichment and make things more fun for your birds. If they're kept in very small cages, then looking for a playpen that can fit in the room or on top of the cage may be nice for your birds to climb on or play on. However, finches tend to explore more and may want to fly around, so it is best to make sure they are only let loose in rooms where they can easily be caught again and cannot fly into windows, doors, or other dangerous objects that can cause injury or death.
