Hi New Budgie Owner with a question

[mikezbbygrl]

Hi All.
I am a new budgie owner. I got Shrek and Fiona for my birthday. And I was told they were grey cheeked parakeets, SO I looked up everything I could on them. LOL Now that I've joined a message board or 2, everyone has told me they are budgies. So I am studying budgies. My fiance is buying me 2 more birds. From the picture I have they look like budgies. So my question is, How do I transition them to the same cage after we move? Can that be done?
Any help would be great!
Thanks in Advance and happy holidays!!
Included is the only picture I have of the new birds.

Looks like possibly two females...

When getting more birds, it's always a good idea to quarantine the new birds before introducing them into your current flock. Quarantine is keeping the birds separated for 30-90 days (the longer the better), perhaps doing an avian vet visit (which is highly recommended, but not everyone will do these as it is usually $200-$300 per bird, depending on the tests done), and that's just the general idea... it's much more specific than that.

Regardless, when you do introduce them, you'll want a larger cage for them all to be in, rather than a small one. It's recommended to introduce them all into the one cage at the same time. However, I have introduced budgies by putting two cages next to eachother, and the two new budgies ended up moving in with the three other budgies (into a larger cage), without issues (other than bickering over favorite places to sleep and over food).
