Hello everyone,
My budgie Lexy's birthday is approaching and I was curious whether people celebrate their birds' bithdays. I would like to make the day special for Lexy (it is a weekend so I can spend lots of time with him) and have a gift he will enjoy- I want to order a Java Tree which is like a natural style stand with a coconut dish and toys so Lexy can hang out with me there. I popped into the pet store yesterday and also got him a small toy and a pack of honey treats (which he barely ever gets because I know they are unhealthy!)

What about your birds?

I wish I had the birth dates of Jet and Skye. I would most certainly celebrate their birthdays. At least I was able to find Christmas ornaments for them. I had to paint Skye's blue because his ornament came in green. lol

We most certainly celebrate all of our birdies Birthdays!

If the particular date is unknown, then we celebrate their Birthday and Gotcha Day together. :D

Wife is better than I on keeping the dates straight, though...;)

I don't know Chirp's birthday, but if I did I would celebrate it! Instead, I'll just celebrate his Gotcha Day!

I would get a present (a new toy, etc) and then feed all of his favorite foods for the day! :) And of course, lots and lots of scritches. :)

Yes, it is quite frustrating not to know a bird's real birthday! Luckily, I do know Lexy's (22nd April) because the breeder kept track of all his birds (he had a book with the ring number, colouration, male or female, hatch day etc.). Lexy doesn't really enjoy toys (I got him two new toys quite recently and he ignores them, he only likes one toys which is a big rope with tangled strings) but I most certainly will spend the day with him and give him his favourite treats.

Heck yes they get something! If I don't know their hatch day I use their "gotcha" date to celebrate. Sometimes it's just making sure they're chop is their favorite foods, other times they get a new toy or play area.
