    Does my Budgie like me?

    I’ve had him for 4-5 days now, he’s still pretty quiet I’ll hear him talking to himself a little but I’ve barley ever heard him talking, he eats from my palm and was landing on my arm when he was unsure where to land, when he’s eating millet he’s not bothered about my hands being around but he...

    Hanging sideways on the wall of the cage?

    Recently my budgie Genji (7) has been hanging onto the wall of the cage, sideways, a lot. Specifically its next to his cuttle bone. There's a perch leading right up to it, but he'd rather chew on it while hanging sideways I suppose. That's all well and good, but often time he doesn't even chew...

    Weird behavior

    When I stick a finger into Cloudy's cage through the bars, he usually acts happy and taps on it and does the usual playful budgie stuff, but today when I stuck my finger through the bars, he seemed a little different. Still acted happy, tapped my finger and chirped and stuff but now he's kind of...

    Urgent Budgie possibly getting ready to lay eggs?

    My budgie has as of recently (past day or two) been showing signs that could possibly be her wanting to lay eggs, or her being sick. She’s been sitting in one place more and sleeping a lot, though she’s happily preening as normal. She hasn’t been eating as much even though she usually has a good...

    Budgie hangs out at the bottom of cage and other questions

    So I heard budgies or other birds stay at the bottom of their cage if there's a problem. Cloudy is a healthy budgie and goes to the top of his cage to eat and sleep, but for the majority of the day stays at the bottom. I think it may be because he loves the sola ball toys down there, but I'm not...

    Video My budgie (Yellow) is acting strange since yesterday and I'm not understanding why? :(

    Hi guys! So recently we have got a new family member called Yellow. It's actually been two weeks since we brought him/her/them home (not sure about the gender yet).

    Budgie getting put to sleep

    Unfortunately my budgie, Percy is getting euthanised today due to a tumour. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on comforting his two siblings - should i take them with myself and Percy to the vets so they know what is happening?

    My budgie cannot fly

    I don't know what happened to the yellow bird but one day when I'm away suddenly I saw blue colour's feather fall. Then the next day the yellow bird can't fly really high. He is a great flying bird compare to all the birds but suddenly this happened.. Can anyone please give me the way to cure...

    Pictures Is my budgie ill? Need advice ASAP

    For some context, I've had this shy budgie for over 2 years now; she hasn't been very friendly towards me ever since her partner died last year but she does hop around the cage and chirp to other birds whenever she is outside. I haven't been able to feed her anything else besides store-bought...

    Maximum out of cage time?

    I have three budgies, and I was wondering if there is a maximum time they should be outside of their cage? Currently, they pretty much have out of cage time from 9am to 8pm, but I don’t want to over exert them by letting them stay out for too long. Thanks!

    Should I get my budgie a new friend?

    My budgie was best friends with my green cheek conure but sadly he passed away on March 10. At first my budgie hasn’t shown signs of mourning for him but she just seems so bored and I wanted to know if/when should I get her another friend.

    Cage Setup for 4 Budgies

    Hello! I wanted to share my cage set up and ask if there are any improvements I should make? Also- how can I get more toys and such in the lower half so they can enjoy their whole enclosure? (most of my toys hang from the ceiling of the cage) Also- they are allowed out of the cage daily! The...
