Hi all, I have 3 budgies, my blue budgie Pixel, is acting and behaving normal, although his poop area looks strange and messy. Dropping seems to be normal, but just replaced paper today to make sure. Has anyone had this? Any advice you can help me on? I don't know if it is feel or male. I...

This week a noticed a reddish brown mark appear on Luke’s beak. The mark isn’t flaky or anything and it looks like it’s flat and apart of the beak. You can see another section of his beak is trying to grow so I think he might have hurt himself but I’m not sure. He does come out of the cage and...

Hey I know I've only been posting about my frantic health scares since I've joined this forum. I apologise, but Im a new bird owner and anything I notice is new to me! I've had my budgie for almost two weeks now and only today did I notice this crusty bubbly thing on his foot. I attached photos...

I’ve spoken about Luke recovering from an infection in previous threads. He’s been off antibiotics since Monday and we are between vets at the moment. I don’t want to drive myself crazy because most of his his poops seem to look good but there will be these few random watery droppings either...

Luke lost some weight by not eating his food on his second round of antibiotics (which It was put in the food and is a bitter tasting medication). He was pretending to eat so I didn’t realize he wasn’t eating until I could physically feel his keel bone when I went to pick him up. He is no...

My budgie ( called charlie) is 6 years old and for about a month his poo is getting stuck to his feathers. (His left foot has also been staved so he can hardly put force on it) Preening for him has become much harder so this has prompt me to watch him 24/7. Whenever a build up of poop happens...

I’m curious to know what everyone here feeds their budgies day to day, weekly, etc. Can anyone recommend some seeds or foods they swear by? Right now I feed Luke Natural Select Parakeet Diet but trying to add some zupreem fruit blend pellets to his diet. Here and there he will get veggies but...

I had a crazy day today :wacky: So I officially need to find Luke a new vet. The office I’ve been taking him to was not a avian specialist but as you may have read in my last thread that because of COVID the avian specialists in my area are all on leave and that this new vet I’ve been taking...

Hello everyone!!! First time poster here ^__^ I have a female budgie named Juju and she is the absolute love of my life! I wanted to come on here and introduce myself and hopefully get acquainted with my fellow fid lovers. I also wanted to talk about Juju's recent medical history and hopefully...

Hello. Had this boy for an year and I’ve noticed the cere color change. It’s light blue and now has a tan color on top. I’m now concerned about Peppys gender too. When i got him they said that it was a male. Is it a girl or a boy? And is this normal?

Hello I’m new to these forums. So my budgie Luke Is 3 years old has been experiencing wet droppings occasionally for a couple months and then 2 weeks ago it was pretty much every dropping that was wet so I called so many vets and most of the avian vets in my area are on leave due to COVID but I...

I hope this was the right spot to post in. I noticed a splayed leg budgie up in Kijiji in my area. I've got an extra cage (Might not be the best cage for a splayed leg but could work until I could get the best one possible for the baby) and the time. I stay at home all day. I have a Lovebird and...

So, I'm new to this forum and budgie ownership. I had a canary when I was a kid, also a rescue with behavioral issues, and I never intended on taking on a budgie at first but it sort of found me. Backstory: this budgie was found outside during an early snowstorm almost two years ago. She had...

i have a budgie named aspen, hes a good birb, usually, today i left my door open by accident, and next thing you know, little aspen is just rubbing his head on the door, i have no clue why he is doing this. his companion, stormy, is not doing it, but he is. does anyone know why he would do that?

I rescued a budgie a week or two ago, he's clearly male and the rescue said he was about one year old but I'm leaning more towards 2-3 years. He's been very hand skittish but has an amazing personality. He's adapted very well, no visual issues, the rescue said he recieved a vet exam and has no...

Hi! So currently I have three budgies in a flight cage together, which I am aware isn’t a good idea. I originally went to get one more budgie for my lone budgie, Percy, but upon seeing the situation these birds were in, I took two. Now, however, we have found out that we have two males and one...

Hello! I recently got my budgie a new cage, and it still has one slotted dowel perch in it. He likes to hang onto the side of it and gnaw on it, and starts making a squeaking noise only while doing that specifically. Most of my searches came up blank for a situation like this specifically, and...

Hello everyone! About three weeks ago, I adopted a 7 year old budgie named Paco from a family who weren’t interested in him anymore. I wanted to give him a better life, plus, I wanted a bird! I gave him a bigger cage, better food, and more toys, and just a few days ago, he finally became...

This is my oldest budgie, Percy, who is give or take three to four months old. I can usually tell gender of a budgie well, but as he is recessive pied, his cere has me a little stumped. I originally thought he was a boy, but now he is lighter rings around his nostrils on his cere, and a small...

this is my flight cage set up for my three budgies, Percy, Calypso and Grover. Over lockdown, they’ve been pretty much free roaming, but I’m going back to school, meaning they’ll be in their cages a lot more than usual. Just want to know if everyone thinks this is enough of an enriching...
