#budgie

Hello all- I am a woefully inexperienced bird keeper seeking urgent help with my 7.5 y.o. female blue budgie, who I have named Sol. My parents gave her to me, along with her partner who sadly passed young from stomach cancer, for my 12th birthday. Because I was very young when I got her, and my...

Today my sweet 1 month-old baby Indie was rushed to the avian vet. She was on the ground playing, and my aunt accidentally stepped on her. There was blood coming out of her nose and mouth, so I decided to rush her to the vet. The time between the accident and being at the vet was approximately...

Hi guys... so I noticed a few weeks ago that my budgie down part of the beak is growing and I have no idea what is the reason.. Usually if the upper part of the beak grows it maybe means she has mites but her beak grows longer at the lower part of the beak.. I'm scared that if it still grows she...

Hello, my budgie/parakeet Frost needs help. He has blood feathers and this is my first time dealing with this. I’m pretty sure he got attacked by my other budgie/parakeet Kiwi. I gave him a shower and found maybe 2 blood feathers but I got so scared I would hurt him so I left him. He’s trying to...

I woke up as usual and uncovered his cage and I found about 30 feathers on the bottom of his cage all in the one spot! I don’t know if it’s just a big molt or a night fright? And I’m super worried about him.

Hello everyone. I basically inherited two budgies from my deceased grandma. They are in overall okay condition, but the female, Kiwi, is incredibly overweight and refuses to eat seed or many veggies. I can't get her to do anything because she will start hyperventilating, she won't even run...

Hi I got a 12 weeks old Budgie male 3 days ago. I bought him from a local breeder and he was living with his brothers and sisters in a large cage. Since moving to our place he has been super silent and still, but he has been eating from the food bowl but not drinking water. First two days he...

This may seem a little silly but I just bought 2 new toys for my 2 budgies. (A natural hammock and a foraging toy) I've only had my budgies for 3 weeks and they are very trusting and can step up and leave the cage. I took them out of the cage so I could put their toys in. They saw me putting in...

I have such a heartbreak posting this. I have 7 budgies, and one quaker. August 5th 2023, my quaker was able to unlatch her cage and got ahold of a budgie, Kiwi, right foot. I feel horrible for the accident, both cages were locked but that was the day i learned my quaker was able to open cages...

My budgie broke or sprained her leg I can't tell. But her leg got stuck on her cage bar when she was climbing to the stop (she's not clipped, she can fly she just chooses to climb for some reason) and I helped her out and I got her to where she wanted to be and I put her down on her playset. And...

My vet friend recommmeded me guardian Angel supplements. It’s got a bunch of vitamins and antibiotics. I put it in my budgies water and food. How often should I change the water in a day since it has antibiotic diluted in it now? I usually change the water daily, but unsure now.

Hi guys… Whenever I bring my bird yellow colour out he would be a good boy when the fan is off but when the fan is on he would be flying over the fan! I dont know how to control his flight. Please help me! :budgie8:

Hello, I found this little breeder that hand-feeds his birds and sells them for only $15. Wasn't rlly looking for another budgie but somehow i keep getting budgies. God works in his ways lol. The baby won't be ready for another 5-6 weeks he said or until the baby decides to wean ( he lets them...

I recently noticed that my female budgie has some new neon green feathers around her beak, which weren't there yesterday, and has the same colour now on her cere as well. (something looks off about her cere..) I'm not quite sure what it is but I've observed her sometimes biting off the paint...

I’ve been looking for a bird and my friend suggested I check kijiji for any rehomings, thoughts?

Hello, I'm a new budgie owner! I have one budgie, as some of you may know. Around three days ago, I was changing her food when I noticed a speck of red on her foot. I assumed it was nothing, and I ignored it. Yesterday, I noticed it got a bit bigger. It's red and sort of like a mixture of a...
