NO. NO It Is Not, Not Ever. Raptors need specialist housing and cages are far too small. you will end up with a bird with a damaged cere and no tail or primary feathers left. they either need to be teathered or put in an acceptable aviary. If you don't have room for this bird you should give it to a respectable falconer. You really should have looked into all of this before accepting the bird.

No way, its cruel think how big your bird is and how small a budgie is. If you have no space for an aviary take the bird to the RSPCA or somewhere like that and get it a new home with people who know how to care for it. if you really need to ask this question perhaps you are not the kind of owner that bird is looking for.

ok, well if you are tlking about a bird you caught in the wild, ou could have charges pressed against you just to let you know, but if you have a right to own it, i would probly not put it in a budgie cage, theyare too small. but if you have a near by pet shop around, i would go with a ferret cage, large one and take out all of the stuff inside and equipt it with bird supplies. if you do have the right to keep it you should ask a bird expert how to give it excercise and let it fly! good luck with your bird of prey!

Technically, all birds are 'birds of prey'. This means that they have natural predators in the wild.
What kind of 'bird of prey' are you talking about? How big is the cage? Just because you have a larger bird doesn't mean you need an aviary. Aviarie's are normally very large outdoor cages (mine is 4'x5'x6'), but my Amazon's indoor cage is 26" 36" x 66".
A generally rule of thumb is to give the bird at least enough room to stretch out their wings and turn around. But of course, bigger is always better, especially when it comes to a home for your bird. You can also put playgyms around your house or apt. so they will not always be stuck inside their cage.

In the UK it is illegal to keep wild birds caged. For a bird of prey that is injured you need a licence. Contact a local vet or wildlife/ bird sanctuary for advice.

Why not tell us who you are and where you live, I for one will be happy to send the RSPCA round if you admit to something so cruel.
If you don't have room for an aviary, you don't have room for a bird of prey.

No.
If you have a dry,airy with natural light shed with strong
T shaped perches set up,that might be acceptable.Contact a
Falconer who will advise you properly.Raptors should fly free.

Yes, but only if you keep the budgies in there so that your new bird will have something to eat...
