Pictures Should I take in these two budgies?

[hrafn]

Budgies don't produce dust like cockatiels do, but they are quite messy for their size just to warn you. So they might still produce respiratory symptoms with out frequent cleaning up after or ventilation, especially in warmer conditions.

Edit: By the way, I am really glad there are people like you who are willing and able to take in unwanted birds. You have a big heart, and I wish you the best. Just remember not to bite off more than you can chew and to take care of yourself first and foremost.

Mess is fine by me. I'm already extremely obsessive about cleaning, since I foolishly have a macaw and a grey in the same house. Air purifiers run 24/7 and everything is wiped down at least thrice a day. I'm just unwilling to further endanger my New World fids with more dusty birds, so I'm glad my budgie trio won't add to the dust to a noticeable degree. That's a relief!

Oh no, Soleil has lost vision in her other eye. She's completely blind right now.

Please let her vision come back!

Oh dear, what a sad update. Poor little guy

I find my two budgies can be quite dusty around molting time which seems to be long in the warmer weather. But, I have English budgies which are larger than the budgies you have so less feather mess. I would bring up this question to you vet. Do you have a good air filtration set up now?

I have two hepa filters in the New World room, two in the Old World room, and one in the hallway between them. I'm hoping to get a Rabbit Air soon-ish.

Ciel's surgery got bumped up! It's happening in an hour!

Hopefully it will at least some, but if it doesn't I think she'll surprise you how well she manages, especially with friends. We think Harley could barely see & she learned her cage really well and could get around easily and bash her bell ball like nobody's business.

Good luck to Ciel!

I hope all goes well for Ciel, sending you all some love

Ciel made it through surgery and out of anaesthesia without a hitch!! He's still pretty drowsy, but he's back in his oxygen chamber with some cute vet wrap over his surgery site and a big dish of treats! Brave little munchkin.

So your vet works on Sunday. How great is that. Praying hard here. Those feathered babies have been through so much.

It's a 24/7/365 vet clinic. I love It!

I vacuum around my two baby budgies at least twice a day sometimes more. They are very messy little rascals with seed hulls everywhere and tiny bits of chewed up stuff, hehe I find it so cute how tiny the chewed up bits the budgies make are.

There is a bit of dust that I find I need to also wipe up with a damp cloth a few times a day but no where near as much dust as Burt makes daily while he is constantly moulting.

I am so paranoid about their dust affecting Burt even though they are at the other end of the house and the vac lives next to them lol....my budgies will eventually go out into the aviary once the warmer weather comes. I couldn’t put them straight out in the aviary as I think they would be freezing due to only being housed inside so I will keep up the extra cleaning and distance till the warmer weather arrives.

I have no doubt you will do fine keeping the dust levels down.

How are things going today with the birds?

 

[hrafn]

Really good! Everybody is improving heaps and bounds. Soleil seems to be permanently blind but is already adapting.

I'm glad they're improving and hope that Soleil regains some sight.

The conure is in the second picture lmfao. He's a yellow sided cheekie. And he lives in THAT!
