Hi Mader and let me welcome you to Petshub,

there should be no problem aslong as the cage they are to be kept in is big enough for the 3 of them.
Parakeets or budgies are naturally gregarious birds (flock flyers) and in their native land of Australia they can be seen flying in flocks of thousands at a time.

best of luck with your birds...

Hi mader,

You cannot keep 3 birds in a one-bird's cage.
You need something bigger, at least a two-birds' cage or more.

Hi Mader,
the cage you describe ( 30"x30"x30") should be big enough for your three budgies.

best of luck
