budgerigars

Hello! I have two budgies, brother and sister from separate clutches, Olive is the older one, a green female, roughly 9 years old and Billy Is the younger blue and yellow male at roughly 8 years old, It's my first time using a forum like this. We live in Scotland :) :birdance:

I’m in a bit of a panic. It’s in the middle of the night and my parakeet: Lydia started making this coughing/sneezing/hiccup? Soft, squeaky sound. I turned on my flashlight to examine her and she kept acting like she was trying to cough something up. She eventually stopped and hasn’t since made...

this is my old thread. Since that thread I decided to wait a bit, and decide some time latter because It wasn't handy, the parrots already had a pretty good cage. Some time ago I got an idea of using a plastic mesh (polythene) instead of metal wire mesh. The cage will be for two budgerigars...

Okay so I’ve had to place each one of my parakeets in a separate cage recently because they all started fighting to the point where they were injuring each other. First Heisinbird really beat up Saul, splitting his lower beak down the middle, bruising his eye and inflicting a bite wound on his...

First, Gus died suddenly over night and now, Heisenbird has terminal Cancer which is apparently common?! What do I do? How do I protect my birds? Why does this keep happening to me?

Until last night, everything seemed relatively OK, my Budgie does have a history of issues so this was not completely unexpected. He has an enlarged liver and heart and was bred as a show budgie, so I knew that he was more prone to issues. Last night, he ended up on the bottom of the cage (not...

Hello, I have a little budgie who is 3 years old and I began to notice a few months ago that his breathing sounds odd. I'm not sure if he is sick, he still jumps around, sings, plays and eats. Sometimes he just starts the weird breathing and a minute later he's back to normal. I also previously...

I'm a new owner of a budgie. I've had her for a few months now and bonding is tough. I've studied as much as I can and been very patient with her. But no matter what I do she's still scared to come close to me. I need some advise. I don't know what to do now.

Hello again everyone! I would like to add a few live plants into my budgies’ cage. I feel as though it may be an enriching and exciting for them to have a new component in their cage other than new toys. Can anyone recommend some safe live plants for budgies? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice regarding my budgies’ diets. I give them ZuPreem fruit blend pelleted food as a daily diet staple. Once or twice a week I will give them a commercial seed blend as a treat, as well as some spray millet. My real questions regard what I prepare for them...
