    Fluids in budgie’s crop

    My Budgie was pretty young. I’d say 2-3 years old. His name is Loki. He had fluid in the crop and the vet gave him antibiotics for a few weeks. She did test and everything but still couldn’t figure out what’s going on with him. He was so skinny and nothing seemed to help. He was at the bottom of...

    My Budgie

    Hello, I recently decided to get a bird about two months ago. I have been having struggles as my buddy does not want to be my buddy. Things were going great and he was stepping up but that changed for some reason. He now is terrified every time I sit and talk to him and whenever I’m close. I’ve...

    Budgie That Gurgles

    Hello! So, I have two little adorable birds, and they are specifically budgies. One of my budgies, we’ll call her S, has been having this issue with her throat (?) I am unsure, but it sounds like she’s trying to keep a lot of mucus down. When I got my other budgie, we’ll call him N, he always...

    How do I get budgies to trust me

    I've had 2 budgies for about two weeks, and they seem not to trust me at all. They keep turning their backs on me and when I get too close, they sometimes try to fly into the cage. Is this normal or should I do something about it? How do I make 2 budgies trust you? Thanks.
