    Is my budgie sick?

    I've heard so many stories about tail bobbing and the bird dying the same day and I am so freaked out! Is this sort of tail bobbing okay? I don't know if he's breathing hard or if he's just moving around. In my country, only emergency vet services are considered essential, everything else is...

    Budgie walking side to side on perch

    I recently "inherited" a budgie from another family member who could no longer keep him. Tro is probably 3 years old and I've had him for about a month now (Been trying to convert him to pellets and WOW he is so stubborn). I've noticed that he keeps running from side to side along his perches...

    Treat Ideas?

    Hello I have a little budgie named Belle who is really picky with her foods. I really want to try and add some new treats and snacks in to her diet but all the pack at the pet store seem to be too big or too hard for her little beak. Feel free to post here what snacks your budgies like to munch on!

    My budgie still doesnt trust me

    Hi guys! I have a budgie of almost two years, her name is Lemon. I need help because to this day she still doesn't trust me. From the first day we got her, my brother dropped her cage and I had to place her back with my own hands, so I'm afraid she never got over her fear of me. She won't leave...

    Bird feather structure

    I am wondering why these budgies have their mask and throat spot feathers like this. Is it normal for certain budgies? I’ve seen a handfull of them from the same breeder and only a few have this characteristic. Can anyone give me a bit of insight about this?

    Can I feed this to my lovebirds and budgies?

    So long story short, I put all the seed shells from my birds feeding tray into a pot of soil. Some plants have grown, but I don't know if they are safe for my budgies or lovebirds.

    Cori update: 1 week (and one setback)

    Hi! It's me again with your weekly update on the world's prettiest budgie! I can't believe it's been a week... I suppose time flies when you spend most of it with a little feathered friend. Ok, let's start with the setback: The little green devil learned to how to open his cage – and shaved...

    Help: adult rescue budgie adaptation to new home (beginner owner)

    Ok, so: I just got my first bird yesterday. It wasn't something I planned for – he was kinda dropped on my lap. Literally. More specifically, by my dog. Thankfully, she didn't hurt him (and, in fact, seems rather taken with him; supervised interactions through the cage have gone well) and since...

    what is the gender of my budgie?!

    I've been on this case since I got him. I wasn't exactly certain of my budgies, gender until quite recently when his cere started to become slightly crusty and light brownish/tan around the corners. Yes, I also realise that females begin to get this crusty/brown cere when they have matured! But...
