budgie

New here and apologies for asking in advance. I found a budgie flying around my house, for four or five days I tried to get him, and today I finally coaxed him into a cage. On the first or second day I noticed a spot on his lower back(?) above his tail has exposed feathers as in you see the...

I come here alot for parrot advice since I got my two babies from their past owner! Meet Pearl and Sapphire :laugh: (The cage and dowel perches were from the past owner, they are being replaced ASAP :o:)

You can answer any questions you know the answers for What are some care and behaviour differences that linnies and budgies have compared to cockatiels? Do any budgie mutations have pink feathers? How to find adoption centres like rescues or shelters that have birds. I didn't get many results in...

Hi you guys! I have a question and this has been bothering me for a few days now, one because apparently I live two hours away from my closest avian vet, and two, because I don’t want my budgie to be sick. Basically last week I took both of my budgies to the pet store where they get their nails...

Hi, I am seeking desperate help. I had two budgies, Blá and Gulur, and one of them passed already. I live in a Scandinavian country where there is NO avian vets. Thus your help is very important (please!). I have been living with parrots for 20 years, so I trusted my observation a lot. They...

Hi! I’m new to the website, I just wanted to make an account in case I had any questions about bird care. I have a yellow crowned Amazon parrot named Vuela Vuela (she’s named after the song) and my sister has two budgies. Vuela Vuela was bought as an impulse purchase by my mom and since then...

Hi all, I’ve been on this site many times reading other posts, but this is my actual first post here! Hope it all goes well. :greet14: Main question: I heard many times across online forums and videos that ginger and turmeric mixed in water is good for birds, like for treating nausea symptoms...

First of all, please be kind. Secondly, yes I know I did a stupid thing. SO... this tale starts with a budgie. I have a friend who had a budgie, the budgie lost its feathers, friend did not take to vet, friend said: "There's no point in taking it to a vet looking like that, it's just a bird."...

Hi :) so, I have two budgies. My female (had him 2 or so years) Bailey, and a male, my Benji (who i've had just over a year). Originally the plan was to put Benji and Bailey together (in a decent sized cage -- its a yaheetech 52 in.) but, two things: Bailey was somewhat territorial? But also...

Rehoming 2 Lineolated Parakeets - I have two males from the same clutch born 12/5/23 & 12/6/23. One turquoise and one green. Both have been to the vet for a wellness check and are in excellent health. They are currently on a pellet and fresh veggie diet. Comes with cage and some accessories...

Hi! I am new to this forum. Today I just woke up to see my budgie loss most of her feathers over night, and she is very itchy atm. I am attaching a picture of her where you can see, she even got red skin showing. Further I woke up to see her in blood, might i add I cover her completely and...

I'll try to keep this short and simple yet still as informative as I can, as I honestly have never seen something like this before. I've given up researching and calling the place I got him from (a very good place who loves their birds mind you, they just have no clue) and resorted to making a...

i have two budgies and have been working on switching up their diet to something a bit better. I've had them on an okay seed diet for awhile, but I've just never been able to transition them. One will zupreems fruit pellets (finch sized only) and the other mostly won't. Bailey will eat pellets...

So I had 2 birds one of which got 2 years with me whose name was koko.They were very naughty and all my house use to get dirty and they tore all the wallpaper which was acceptable but koko used to hurt one female bird and made her bled it got difficult for me to take care and keep an eye all the...

I recently took in a budgie from a family that didn’t want him anymore and was planning on abandoning him. I have been reading about budgie care needs. I see that pellets are strongly recommended but I live in a very remote part of my country and can’t afford to ship pellets here. The pet store...

Hello! A year ago I adopted a budgie and everything was going well. On the third day when I first tried giving her millet, she immediately jumped to my hand and ate it. Many months later she seemed to be getting lonely so I adopted another budgie. Ever since then, she won't fly to my hand...

I adopted a bonded pair of Budgies. I had no intention of breeding or anything like that, however, they came with their cage and all accessories, which included a little nest in the cage. I was not educated on the mating habits or hormonal cycles of Budgies, and Duchess laid 9 eggs starting on...

Hey all, I am a semi-new bird owner. I got Basil (male parakeet) almost a year ago in March, and he's been a healthy and happy little guy up to this point. He was from a local pet store, so he's a bit skittish and I don't handle him too often, but he's very energetic and loves to fly around and...

I'm wondering if a mix (in all equal parts) of Zupreem Natural Pellets, Harrison's Adult Lifetime, Dr. Harvey's Colossal Cockatiel Blend, and Top's Parrot pellets is a healthy well rounded diet for my cockatiels and budgie to eat? Of course they will still get fresh fruits and veggies as well as...

Hello everyone, this is the fifth day having my budgie pepper. I got him some pet store food and I started weaning him off it today to a healthier seed. He was on a perch when he started bopping his head up and down, and I could hear seeds clattering to the bottom of the cage. He’s a young...
