Room Layout
Hello! I am a person who has not owned a budgie but is hoping to in the future. I was just hoping to ask those with more experience if my current living situation is one that would be healthy for owning a bird. I am currently living in an apartment with one roommate who is entirely okay with me having a bird as long as it mostly lives in my room and the smell isn't overpowering. The only problem I foresee is that she has slightly OCD-adjacent tendencies (in her own words) towards scent and will every now and then light scented candles to keep the apartment smelling nice. If I keep the cage in my room, I was hoping a closed door would be enough to keep a budgie safe. I attached a diagram of my room with how I had planned to incorporate the budgie. I have a heater in my room, but it will only activate automatically when the temperature dips below 40 degrees fahrenheit (in anticipation of this being an issue, I put a bookshelf inbetween it and the cage to minimize damage). Do you think a setup like this is appropriate? For clarification's sake, I am extremely open to the idea my current living space would not be healthy for a budgie under any circumstances. Any thoughts/advice from experience owners is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
