budgie

Hi all, my first time posting but I'm in a bit of a bind. I took my little guy to the vet yesterday for a checkup but he hasn't been acting normally since. He took a big tumble at the vet after having his wings clipped and he's normally free flighted. Now he's holding out his right wing and it's...

I’m looking for a young male to keep as a loved pet. I’m willing to drive out of state, but not too far. Thanks!

Hi everyone! :) I just thought of joining here because recently I got a parakeet/budgie (not sure what the difference is) and I’m learning about them because I want to be a good parent to my bird. This is actually my first time having a bird and I feel like there’s so much to learn. I have a...

Hello all, First post on here and I’m afraid its about rehoming. I decided to come here because I’ve always come to this site for advice with my birds care and I know many people here spoil their birds and love them dearly (as they deserve!) I have had a female budgie since the age of 13 who we...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good heater for my budgie's cage. My apartment gets cold in winter, and I want to start preparing. Since I read most space heaters are bad for them, I would love to know if anyone could help me. Thank you so much for any advice!! I really...

when i first got my budgie, his tail feathers were already pretty janky. he isn’t molting much yet, he’s still pretty young, but i was wondering if his tail will turn out healthy and fine? i got him a few weeks ago. his name is morax. ive also noticed his balance isn’t always the best, and i was...

Hi all I took the plunge and brought home Franklin, who is about 6 weeks now, to Winston (about 10-12 months, birthday unknown). Unfortunately it hasn’t gone as I hoped it would so far - which I thought I was mentally prepared for but obviously not. Frankie (who we are pretty sure is a boy)...

Hello there you guys! I hope you are all doing well today! Very unfortunately, my little buddy has just lost his mate 2 days ago :( Ever since her passing, my budgie has been very unlike himself and unusual! He is usually such a big foodie, but now he doesn't even go to eat or drink water by...

Hi all So, I’m a hobbiest and love craft (I’m sure I’m among friends here). Over about 10 months it has become clear to me that budgie Winston loves the toys I make him. However I’ve - a few times - splurged on the toys we’ve all seen, and have, including the photo attached. I know my Win, and...

I’m getting a budgie but I have a cat, is there any way for them to coexist? How should I keep my budgie safe?

Hi everyone Winston (8-10 months) is going through, I think, his third moult with new pin feathers. I’ve noticed based on the last couple that he seems to get moody and grumpy, less generally happy. Is this normal in your experience?

Hi there I’m seeking opinions from budgie owners and breeders. My bun Winston is about 6 - 8 months old. Unfortunately I didn’t get an accurate birthdate. I’m strongly considering getting him a friend. He’s happy enough right now, well trained of course and human social, but I want him to be...

Hi, we have a budgie that spends his day in the living room. We hang clean laundry here to dry and the fragrances emitted from the clothes can be strong which fills up the room. I become sneezy at times myself and can smell the potency slightly irritating my nostrils. I'm sure these fragrances...

Hello there I’ve never been into forums or known how to use them but I’m in need a budgie community! As a little girl, my first budgie was Pete -we never figured out how but he escaped. But 20++ years later I could never get past my budgie love, and my now husband sneakily arranged for me to...

Hello everyone my budgie keeps bobbing its tail about 3-4 days i am starting to get very worried. Can someone look at the videos and tell me if this is normal. I appreciate it so much:) https://youtube.com/shorts/rVbQ9VjluFQ?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/TPD9NooVWlY?feature=share

Hi, so I’ve recently decided to convert my new dog crate into a sort of indoor aviary as my dog doesn’t use it. It’s 94cm wide, 55cm wide and 61cm deep. And as there is an opening at the top i plan on putting a cage with similar height and depth measurements on top. I have 2 budgies, 2...

Ive had my tiel since she was 2 weeks old .Now she is 1 year and 5 months old.She used to be very much tamed and liked to hang out with me all day long. Since back then she is the only bird I owned I could pay it a lot of attention. She follows most of my commands and didn't bite. Just one...

Hey budgie owners! I hope you and your birds are doing well! I have 1 female and 1 male budgie. I was never planning on breeding the two (in fact, I thought my female was a male until I caught them doing the deed ). My female has laid many eggs in the past few months, but a LOT of them fell down...

Hello! My budgie has lost a part of his upper mandible in February. Recently, he started not being able to de-husk seeds. Now, I am feeding him dehusked millet seeds, but I heard that they are high-fat and low protein. What can I feed him for a balanced diet? Also, how can the beak problem be...

Kevin especially loving this fruit & Veg kebab treat. I only give corn as a treat they do love to tear it off the cob…apple and cucumber & snow peas other favs they are not so fussed on banana and shame it goes brown so quickly….def keeps them amused for awhile!
