To find out how many birds will be in each of the 4 cages, we first need to calculate the total number of parakeets in the store.
Initially, there are 20 parakeets, and the owners bought 8 more:
\[
20 + 8 = 28 \text{ parakeets}
\]
Next, we divide the total number of parakeets by the number of cages (4) to find out how many birds will be in each cage:
\[
\frac{28 \text{ parakeets}}{4 \text{ cages}} = 7 \text{ parakeets per cage}
\]
Thus, the number of birds in each cage is 7.
The correct answer is:
**D. 7**
