    Budgie with probable liver issues- PLEASE HELP!

    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...

    Baby budgie's emergency vet visit

    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...

    Urgent Why is my budgie beak like this!?

    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...

    Urgent Frost’s Blood Feathers

    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...

    Help!! My budgie Barry has lost about 30 feathers in one night!

    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.

    Disabled Budgie and alternative ways to feed and exercise

    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...

    Pictures Will my budgies forgive me ?

    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...

    My budgie broke her leg!

    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 budgie is sick and I’ve given it Guardian Angel Supplements. How often should I change it?

    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.
