    Screaming and Fighting Budgies

    Since I introduced my second budgie Sky in with Kiwi, he has started fighting with Kiwi over food, either inside the cage or outside of the cage. When I am trying to train them for rewards, such as seeds or millet, Sky will often push Kiwi off my hand so that he can get to the food instead of...

    How do I stop my budgies from roosting on the ceiling fan?

    Hello! I recently got two budgies named Luna and Kiwi. I'm currently in the process of taming, diet conversion, etc. I let them out of their cage every day, but they always fly up to my ceiling fan (don't worry, I don't turn it on anymore, even when they're in their cage) and stay there. I...

    Please can I have some advice on how to get my budgies moving?

    Hi, My budgies have never been particularly active. This is largely due to one of my budgies, Kiwi, having been bred as a show budgie. He is considerably bigger than my other bird Sky who was raised in an aviary. I do not believe that Kiwi ever learnt how to fly properly either, as his flying...

    Thinking about purchasing a conure. Currently own one budgie. Need help deciding

    I'm considering getting a conure, I already have a budgie that is almost completely trained. Should i get a conure after 100% training the budgie?? If so which ones and how should i space the cages apart so neither of them get hurt. I would only let one out at a time of course. Is this safe?

    Considering Rehoming - Looking for Advice

    So a little backstory: Up until very recently I had two budgies, Aerie and Soleil. I got Aerie as a baby and had her as a solo budgie for awhile.

    Weird droppings again

    Last time I talked about Luke’s droppings on here he got off of his antibiotic treatment and that I no longer go to the vet I brought him to for his infection. His poops went back to normal and were normal for weeks. He has been on his probiotic and everything was good and I didn’t change...

    Weight Health

    In my last thread in spoke about how luke was back to a healthy weight after his antibiotics caused him to not eat. Luke now seems to be making up for all the food he hasn’t eaten on his meds and seems to be stuck at 1.5 oz When they should weigh around 1.1-1.4 oz. He doesn’t seem to get much...

    Foot fungus?? Infection? Bumblefoot?

    Three budgies together?

    Hi! So currently I have three budgies in a flight cage together, which I am aware isn’t a good idea. I originally went to get one more budgie for my lone budgie, Percy, but upon seeing the situation these birds were in, I took two. Now, however, we have found out that we have two males and one...

    Female or male?

    This is my oldest budgie, Percy, who is give or take three to four months old. I can usually tell gender of a budgie well, but as he is recessive pied, his cere has me a little stumped. I originally thought he was a boy, but now he is lighter rings around his nostrils on his cere, and a small...

    Thoughts on cage setup?

    this is my flight cage set up for my three budgies, Percy, Calypso and Grover. Over lockdown, they’ve been pretty much free roaming, but I’m going back to school, meaning they’ll be in their cages a lot more than usual. Just want to know if everyone thinks this is enough of an enriching...

    Bird feather structure

    I am wondering why these budgies have their mask and throat spot feathers like this. Is it normal for certain budgies? I’ve seen a handfull of them from the same breeder and only a few have this characteristic. Can anyone give me a bit of insight about this?

    Can we breed this budgie to obtain hagoromos?

    This is not my budgie, but I was wondering If you can obtain a hagoromo if you cross this budgie with a crestbred or any other mutation? Or what can you breed out of this type of budgie?
