It's best to get cages that are designed to be stacked, if you just stack them up yourself they'll be unstable and likely to fall. There are some at http://www.birdscomfort.com/flight_bird_cages.html including stacked cages and side by side double cages.

Another option is to get some adjustable shelves from a hardware store like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-4-Shelf- ... U9Ml1dLlYw and put the cages on the shelves. That would probably be cheaper.

How big is the current cage? Some birds will get along fine in a big cage but will fight if the cage is small.

So 18 inches tall, 15 inches length, and 13 inches wide I know this is pretty small due to what I see from Kaylee's view

That does seem a bit small. If you google for budgie minimum cage size you'll see a variety of recommendations, but it's generally bigger than that. You'll also see some recommendations on minimum cage size for two budgies.

One of the recommendations for two budgies is 30x18x18 at http://www.talkparrots.com/showthread.php?t=282 By coincidence, I heard earlier today that Petco has a cage on sale that's exactly that size at http://www.petco.com/product/114152/Pet ... 6862286435 There's no guarantee though that your two would be happier in this cage than they are in the current cage.

Wow! That's perfect for Kaylee more space! but I guess I have to keep Sunshine in the small cage for a while she's recovering and a few days after her recover just in case.

But sadly my parents doesn't allow me to buy stuff off the internet and if it is in Petco then I don't know where it is on Tully road in San Jose?

You can find Petco locations by going to http://www.petco.com/petco_Page_PC_stor ... te=locator and typing in your zip code or your city. They'll show you a map and also a written list.

The stores won't necessarily have the cage in stock so it's best to call and ask before you go. I can understand why parents don't want kids buying things on the internet (some kids go crazy with the credit card number) but if you ask them nicely they might be willing to place an online order for you. Everybody wins - you get what you need and they keep control of the financial information.

Today I went to this place called "An ( something)" and saw the exact cage from the link you posted but my dad said too late plus he didn't carry a lot of money there will it only cost about $23 without tax. :/

Okay, but not sure if my dad's taking me there again

PS there was A LOT of great pet supplies from cats to fish to dogs to small animals to reptiles to birds wait... horses too! BTW next to the front door there's a fake horse which really scares me when I go close to it or when I just got out of the store but not scared of real horses LOL
