Are you sure you send these budgies off to your parents? It doesn't take much care- just make sure the water is there and feed them a few spoonfuls of seed each day. Temporarily, your parents don't need to let them out of the cage. How long is it until you re-join your parents? If it's only a few weeks, you know that isn't a very long time.

At any rate, I live in CA, but could probably take those guys in.
