Hi everyone! I was navigating the internet the other day and came across these automatic/digital pet feeders that you can control through your phone, even when you’re away. As I live in shared custody and am away half the time, I was curious if this would be a viable option for feeding my birds...

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). I think my budgie is 2-3 months +/-? Anyways, since the start of this week my budgie has been restless and literally moving here...

Hi all I took the plunge and brought home Franklin, who is about 6 weeks now, to Winston (about 10-12 months, birthday unknown). Unfortunately it hasn’t gone as I hoped it would so far - which I thought I was mentally prepared for but obviously not. Frankie (who we are pretty sure is a boy)...

Hiya, I have just brought a new Budgie, who I’ve named Brie, she’s a lovely bird, who likes playing and enjoys flying about. However I’ve noticed she gets tired very quickly and her poop is a little weird. I just wanted some opinions on what could be the problem. I don’t live locally to a avian...

Hi everyone Winston (8-10 months) is going through, I think, his third moult with new pin feathers. I’ve noticed based on the last couple that he seems to get moody and grumpy, less generally happy. Is this normal in your experience?

Hi there I’m seeking opinions from budgie owners and breeders. My bun Winston is about 6 - 8 months old. Unfortunately I didn’t get an accurate birthdate. I’m strongly considering getting him a friend. He’s happy enough right now, well trained of course and human social, but I want him to be...

Hello there I’ve never been into forums or known how to use them but I’m in need a budgie community! As a little girl, my first budgie was Pete -we never figured out how but he escaped. But 20++ years later I could never get past my budgie love, and my now husband sneakily arranged for me to...

Today, I decided to give my budgie a bath in warm water. I took him out & saw that he started having trouble balancing because he was shaking so much. He also began wheezing, which I cannot explain because I made sure he didn't dunk his head in the water or that it didn't touch his beak. This...

Hey! I was scrolling through a second hand website and came across two budgies in a really small cage. I’m experienced with budgies and I really wish to adopt them, but just wanted to ask you guys some questions: 1) What gender do you think they both are 2) Does the first budgie look well? (to...

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?

Right, so recently, I bought myself a third budgie bird (couldn't help myself!). He was said to be a male (three months old), but upon closer examination, I saw an anomaly! He has a deeper blue colour around the bottom edges of his cere, which fades into a really light, almost pastel, green...

Hi everyone! I'm currently researching new cage options for Frankie, my 2.5 year old budgie, and I was curious if other parakeet parents had insights on ways to help her acclimate to a new cage and reduce any anxiety she may have about the change. Her current cage is really too small and not...

Hi everyone! I’m new here. We’ve been thinking of purchasing a new bird for a while now and we’ve narrowed it down to a budgie and a cockatiel. We used to have a green budgie, but unfortunately he passed away back in 2020 after 9 years. We love budgies but we feel that a new one might never...

Around the end of September, I introduced a female budgie (Snowy) after Kiwi had died in the summer leaving Sky on his own. Sky had previously been very much the dominant bird in the cage. Snowy flew in to find Sky one day after being quarantined for around two weeks. I didn't let them sleep...
