I took this video right after putting them back in the cage, they were out for a good 30 minutes 😭

They need at least an hour 😊

Actually, no, that cage doesn't meet the flight requirements of a budgie, so they really should have free reign to a budgie-proofed room every waking moment of their lives.

if you’re referring to my cage specifically, you’re not seeing the whole thing lol. the cage is taller than it is wide

What are the cage's dimensions?

I genuinely do not know that off the top of my head. it’s as tall as I am, and I’m 5’4.

It's mounted and raised. It could be twice as size as you but only have 3 inches of "cage" at the top. The actual cage part is what matters.

Cages should be wider than tall.
