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
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.

Can i feed my finches and budgerigars with green chiretta plant leaves and its fruits?
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! I do not recommend feeding such plants to finches or budgies as they may be toxic. Finches and budgies can eat a commercially available seed or pelleted diet (found in most pet stores or on the internet). They can have occasional treats of fruits and vegetables, but I would avoid any medicine plants or herbs. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

My Canary, Ringo, has a Cage that has a peaked roof, like a house. I have a chance to get a Flat-topped roof, larger cage. Which type of cage do Canaries like? I prefer the house-style cage, as it is more attractive. But, I realize Canaries don't
It is best to go with the cage that has the most horizontal flight space. Peaked cages are OK looks-wise, but make sure it is safe and feet and wings can't get caught where the edges meet. Avoid round shaped cages as well as it can sometimes stress birds out to not have a corner they can hide and relax in. Any cage should have enough room to move around a bit, have some toys for enrichment, and have a place to quietly rest aside from food and water locations.

Good day. I recent switch my graniverous birds from seeds to pellets sporophila angolensis. Since the switch 3 months ago my birds have really dropped in their singing. To me some even look a little depressed lol. Any advice. I will say though some h
Thanks for reaching out about your finches. It is great that you have switched your birds over to pellets and that you are seeing such great results! For finches, I recommend keeping a bit of seeds in the diet - this amount is approximately 10%. This can help to provide some fat in the diet and this can lead to an increase in singing. You can also add greens or other vegetables into the diet as enrichment and supplemental nutrition. The depression portion is a bit concerning, as this should not be caused by diet unless the birds are not eating enough and are losing weight. If this concern continues after the birds have had a bit of seeds, I would recommend a veterinary visit. I hope this gives you a place to start, and thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Angel - On your last email to me re: Ringo and Molting Canary, you mentioned Full Spectrum Lighting. What is that, and what does it do for the Canary? Thanks!
Full-spectrum light is light that includes all wavelengths that are useful to plant and animal life. It is beneficial to birds in that it mimicks their natural lighting in the wild. The link below leads to a short article about the benefits of full spectrum lighting. You can purchase full spectrum bulbs online or in most hardware or home improvement stores. http://www.featherbrite.com/beoffuspli.html
