They are loving their new play area that I set up connected to their cage! Grooming after a nice misting this afternoon :)

Ceylon Cinnamon QuillsTrue Cinnamon Sri Lankan Cinnamon | Etsy do these look like good cinnamon sticks for my parakeets and cockatiels to chew on? it’s ceylon cinnamon sticks so i’m sure they are but i just wanted to make sure:)

Hello friends - I hope this forum is for keet owners as well as budgies! I recently acquired 2 meets from the MSPCA (Massachusetts shelter), one male and one female. I'm excited because I just got them to start eating homemade mash!! They we basically seed fed birds prior, I believe. I will...

I had a crazy day today :wacky: So I officially need to find Luke a new vet. The office I’ve been taking him to was not a avian specialist but as you may have read in my last thread that because of COVID the avian specialists in my area are all on leave and that this new vet I’ve been taking...

(Irving, TX, USA) I currently have two young-adult male budgies named Dodo (green) and Berry (blue). I adore them so much but I came to a sad realization that it is better to re-home them. I am guilty of even thinking about it, but it isn’t fair for them otherwise. Long story short, I live...

I was wondering if duct tape is safe to use in the same room as my budgie. The thing that I'm really worried about is more of the smell than anything. She wouldn't be able to get to it, she wouldn't be around it in the respect that she would be able to step on it or fall on it or anything like...

Hi! I’m new here, please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong. I recently rehomed/rescued two budgies, Sam and Pippin. I’m fairly sure Pippin’s a male, but I’m not certain on Sam’s gender. If anyone could help identifying/confirming their genders that would be awesome. We purchased them from...

Chewy sells this branch, and I was trying to figure out if the branch is safe for birds. There was comments of how other people purchase the the branch for the birds, although has not assured me they are safe for bird. Never had the description informed that the item is safe nor be used for...

Hi all! My in-laws have 2 conures and my landlord has a macaw, now 5 years later I've finally gotten a baby green cheek conure (Santiago) who i spend every second I am able to with (8+hrs daily). I also have 2 budgies that had to be given up by their former owner. The budgies can fly and do in...

Hello! I recently adopted a baby budgie, (s)he is about two to two and a half months old now. I've noticed (s)he sleeps a lot more than my other budgies do, however I adopted my others as adults. Do babies need more sleep than the adults do? My baby goes to cage with the lights out at 8:30 at...

I've noticed that when my bird plays with her bell she plays with it rather aggressively, is that normal? She will slam her beak into it and it seems like she's almost attacking it. It looks like she keeps going back and forth from playing with it to fighting with it.

My parakeet came up to my hand and perched. I have been reading online that to have a budgie get used to you hand, you start with you hand outside of the cage for a few days, then slowly transfer inside getting slightly closer each time. This is my forth day with her and the first day with the...

I just got a parakeet from the shelter and we set up her cage and transferred her. She is already trained to perch on your finger but she will not let me take her out of her cage and she just stands in the corner and will not eat or play with her toys. It's only been a day but i'm worried and...

Hello again everyone! I would like to add a few live plants into my budgies’ cage. I feel as though it may be an enriching and exciting for them to have a new component in their cage other than new toys. Can anyone recommend some safe live plants for budgies? Thanks!

Hi all, I have another question regarding budgies. Lately one of my little guys has been experiencing night fights about once or twice a month. I believe it to be the same bird, but it is hard to be certain given that it is obviously dark. I have their cage covered at night with a dimly lit salt...

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice regarding my budgies’ diets. I give them ZuPreem fruit blend pelleted food as a daily diet staple. Once or twice a week I will give them a commercial seed blend as a treat, as well as some spray millet. My real questions regard what I prepare for them...

Well, I heard small chirping coming from the nest and low and behold and egg has hatched and now a small little pink chick is there. I swear I didn’t even see Finch or Silver when they were that small! It was adorable and hopefully it makes it through the growing process. Also, my father might...
