budgie advice

Hi, I have three budgies - two bigger English ones, and a smaller pied English one. The two bigger ones seem to be picking on the smaller pied one, Percy, even though he is the eldest. What could be the reason? Do you think we should get another pied? Note - we got the two youngest only two...

We had a normal day. The guys came out flew around and played. I put them to bed around 7pm. About an hour later I heard seeds hitting the bottom of the cage. I went over to see what was going on. Neither was in his normal sleeping spot. Tweetie was on a top corner perch. Buddy was moving around...

Hi everyone! I have a big bag of millet which is stored underneath my stairs in a cupboard. However, my parents cleaned out the cupboard with strong cleaning products whilst I was away, and didn’t think to remove the bag of opened millet. I think I already know the answer, but I’m assuming this...

Hello, I currently own two budgies: Benji and El. Benji is a rescue and I was never able to get him completely comfortable with me/hand trained. Yesterday I heard a flapping commotion in their cage and found him on the ground in an odd position. I was able to help him upright but he stayed...

My budgie Sky has been on Harrison’s lifetime mash for awhile now and she seems to like it (or at least tolerate it) but lately she has taken to sneaking into our cockatiel’s cage and eating his pellets as well. Our cockatiel is currently on HARI’s Tropimix, we were wondering if it would be...

I have 2 budgies, a boy (Rain) and a girl (Tro). Tro and Rain are currently in separate cages but I've noticed that Rain is constantly hanging out at Tro's cage whenever I let them out. Every morning after breakfast, he paces in front of his cage door until I let him out and he goes straight to...

I've been posting threads and forums the past couple of days about our parakeet with sudden tail bobbing and signs of respiratory illness. My parents are practically impossible to talk into going to the vet. But I'm so stressed out by the idea of him struggling and us doing nothing to help him...

Hey fellow bird lovers! If you saw my previous post, you know what's going on. But in case you didn't, our 8 month old parakeet whom we call no name has been showing symptoms of respiratory illness since Monday evening. It is currently 2:50 pm on Wednesday, 7/8/2020. He is still having some...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has ever had these before and how long they last once opened.

A few weeks ago, my budgie Tro vomited and the vet said it might just be a tummy upset, but to come back again in a week if she continues vomitting. Tro got prescribed some antibiotics and anti-vommiting medicine and she never vomitted again after that. But I noticed that what she'd do is she...

Hi, Does anyone know how to get budgie to eat fruit and veg. I have tried leaving it in their cage and then replace it the next day but that didn’t work and leaving fruit in the cage means it goes brown so I end up taking it out after a few hours. I have tried hand feeding them it but they just...

Hi just wondering if anyone could help me on knowing the gender of my two budgies please. The last picture of my green budgie Rio was taken a month before the others and as you can see the colour of his cere has changed. Sorry about all the pictures.

My budgie is going through a moult right now, and I was wondering if I should keep her diet the same or increase it? Right now, she gets 1.5 teaspoons of seed, around a teaspoon of spray millet, veggies for breakfast and dinner, and there's always Roudybush pellets available in her cage. Should...

Hello everybody. Today I went outside and got some branches from trees nearby. I didn't think much about it so I did not really take a pic of the trees to identify them. I removed the branches bark, then washed them with vinegar and hand soap just in case. Then, because my mom wouldn't let me...

Hi everyone! So 10 days ago I brought home from the pet shop my first 2 budgies ever (1 male & 1 female, both born end 2019). I can already have them on my fingers if I offer them some food, particularly millet! Today I was able to let the female fly around the room a bit and then she...

I've had my budgie for a few months now and she has only been eating millet ever since. I tried giving her fruits and vegetables when I first got her, but she ignored them (I did not try feeding her directly, only leaving them in the cage for her. I boiled carrots, I gave her peeled slices of...

This is my budgie Tiki. A few months ago, I was worried about his beak and also about how to get closer with him so I posted here! I got so much feedback and I am thankful for everyone's advice. His beak is definitely better! I am still confused about his gender - but I believe it's a male...
