Hi there! Finally got my boys :)

[Raineywhether]

Hi, my name is Rainey! I fell in love with my friend's GCC a year ago, and recently bought two budgies to see if the bird life is the one for me. So far I am utterly smitten with my two boys, Pippin and Merry. I am a worrywart, so I'll probably be in here all the time with too many questions about their health.

Welcome to the forum! Budgies are such fun little birds.

Ask away! No one will ever judge you for asking lots of questions - it just shows you care and want the best for your feathered friends.

Ps, Post a picture

Welcome to the Avian Avenue! I love budgies! One of mine, Hawk, is about 11 years old now!

As am I! Welcome to AA. Tell us more about your boys. And,

Two boys? You sure?

Welcome

Oh my gosh, I guess you all want some pics! Well here they are: Sky blue Pippin, who we had for two months before we got him his new best friend, yellowface cobalt Merry.

They are both pet-store birds, so Merry has been clipped TOO far. Can't wait for his little wings to grow out again!
Thanks for the warm welcome, I was honestly not expecting any replies, so this is lovely
Merry (The day we got him, in his quarantine cage)

And my lovely little best friend Pippin: (PS I got rid of that ivy, English Ivy seems to be listed as unsafe for birds. Spider plants and "wandering Jew" are ok though!)

Glad you joined us. My two budges were the victim of a breeder cutting the flight feathers despite my protest. The flight feathers are cut, not for the birds welfare, but for the convivence of the people doing this. If you have other pets around one should be very careful with safety measures for the flightless birds. Ladders are good exercise for birds like this. Tall ladders. Good luck and your budgies are so...……………. cute.

 

[cassiesdad]

They're beauties...the both of them!

 

[pawfectly]

They’re so beautiful and seem so happy.

 

[Fergus Mom]

Oh wow - they are really gorgeous! I love the cobalt yellow face mutation... so colorful and pretty. I got rid of an ivy I had years ago after I found out it was toxic. I'm pretty sure my Lucy had chewed on it, thank goodness I realized!

Yes, they love their ladders! Especially with Pippin going into molt right now... It's nice that he keeps Merry company on the ground now instead of flying off.

I managed to find a tall later that reached from the ground to the door of the cage. Budgies did figure out how to go back in the cage on their own with that ladder placement. It was so cute watching them do that.
