1. Temperature Fluctuations: Windows are often a source of temperature fluctuations due to the exchange of air between the inside and outside of the room. Budgies are sensitive to extreme temperatures and sudden temperature changes, and may become stressed or ill if they are exposed to these conditions.
2. Drafts: Windows can also create drafts, which are currents of cool air that can make budgies feel uncomfortable and can lead to respiratory problems.
3. Noise and Disturbance: Windows near busy streets or other sources of noise can create a stressful environment for budgies. The noise can disrupt their sleep, feeding, and other normal behaviors.
4. Predators: Birds of prey, such as hawks or falcons, may be attracted to the window and could pose a threat to the budgies. Budgies may become frightened and stressed when they see predators lurking outside.
To ensure the comfort, safety, and well-being of budgies, it is recommended to place their cage in a quiet, draft-free area of the room, away from windows and other sources of disturbance.
