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...

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?

Thought I’d post this for other people to get ideas from. simple playground With simple branch perch in background. I spread some seeds and wooden beads in a corner to get them some foraging time. Stainless steel scre another simple perch with ladder and toy, I keep this one on my dresser on...

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. She was totally happy and very much so our little princess. She loved people and was completely content to hang with us and definitely saw us as her...

am i supposed to cut a budgies nail or file them. or do i let them keep growing , i have not trimmed their nails because i dont know if i should

hello , hope you are having a good day! so my budgie is bobbing his tail up and down even when hes just sitting inn his cage. why is he doing that?

Hi all, I have 3 budgies Lucky, yellow budgie Blake green and yellow Pixel blue budgie. Can you please let me know the gender of the below 2, Pixel and Blake? Thanks :) Gee

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...

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...

Hey I know I've only been posting about my frantic health scares since I've joined this forum. I apologise, but Im a new bird owner and anything I notice is new to me! I've had my budgie for almost two weeks now and only today did I notice this crusty bubbly thing on his foot. I attached photos...

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...

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...

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...

My friend @parrotman was kind enough to help me through this situation , and has let me to this place . my budgies Mango and cookie , have been having watery poop since the last one month , at first I thought it was diarrhoea , I suspected that it had happened due to the unhygienic millets...

Hi everyone! So 10 days ago I brought home from the pet shop my first 2 budgies ever (1 male & 1 female, both born end 2019). I can already have them on my fingers if I offer them some food, particularly millet! Today I was able to let the female fly around the room a bit and then she...

Hi, I have budgies, cockatiel and lovebird in same room in difference cages. Now I am interested to purchase Jenday conure. My friend said jenday conure screaming loudly and thats why cockatiel, lovebird and budiges will not breed. I am confused because I paid conure owner advance. Can I keep...

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?

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?

So my new boy (Wammu) is turning out to be much harder to train compared to my first girl (Yuki) . He just doesn’t recognize the cage as his house , when It comes time to fly I’ve started to dread it he will not perch on the cage to rest and doesn’t understand that he can go in his safe zone...

Hey Gang, We've had a budgie for about six weeks. A relative had to get rid of a bird, and my wife grew up with Budgies and Cockatiels, so she offered to take him. They bought him new January 2018, so he's closing in on two years old. I have had practically no experience with birds until this...
