budgie

Hi everyone! So, first thing, a quick little hello again! I was on this forum a little bit a few years back, but then got busy, and didn't use it for so long that I forgot I even had an account XD But I am very glad to be back now! Now, to the bigger point at hand here: My two and a bit year...

It's going to be my first time baking birdie bread for Limon and I was wondering if it's ok to grease a ceramic ramekin with coconut oil. I've heard parchment paper isn't the safest so I'm at a loss for what to use instead.

My budgie passed last night and I really want to know what his leg band represents? Anyone know what a purple band with the letters BBF 5032 means? He was rescued in Omaha, Nebraska @ 2017. Thank you!

Could anyone identify what this is on my budgie's feet? She's had it ever since I got her, which was back in March. At first I thought it was mites, but she isn't showing any symptoms that suggest that e.g: crustiness around the cere, sneezing and breathing problems. Could it be tiny feathers...

I’ve recently ordered a large outdoor cage for my budgies that will be kept indoors. The problem is that it doesn’t come with a bottom tray, so I’m going to have to find or make my own. I was wondering if anyone knows of any bird-safe material that I could use to cover the bottom with? Would a...

hi. i made this account just to post this as i'm not quite sure what to do. i have two budgies, male brothers, who are a little under two years old (they turn 2 in june). both are happy, healthy and active. they were purchased from a breeder and their wings have NOT been clipped. the first...

Could anyone give me some advice please? I adopted two budgies on Feb 11 and found that the green one's right wing was bleeding on the edge. Their previous owner has cut their fly feathers to prevent them flying away. I had the suspect that he has cut too deep and injured the poor bird...

After my budgie’s mate has died he has become depressed but he is showing signs of a sleepy bird, like tucking his head into his back. I don’t know if this is normal for a grieving budgie and I’m already concerned for him. If you have any other questions regarding the matter please ask me.

First, Gus died suddenly over night and now, Heisenbird has terminal Cancer which is apparently common?! What do I do? How do I protect my birds? Why does this keep happening to me?

I’m a new bird mom of Ducky :budgie: and Nandor:bpletm: Both are not yet hand tame so I feel I’m really starting from scratch and am hoping to learn lots from everybody here :greet15: I’ve done tons of reading online but I think having this resource while putting everything into practice will be...

So, today I brought one of my budgerigars to the vet, because there was a scar on her large growth on the abdomen. They prescribed an antibiotic ointment and feverfew extract and gave me a plastic cone-like thing to put around her head. They also told me to keep her in the transport cage for a...

Are Canary Winged parakeets good in coexisting with other small parrots? Or are they rather aggressive or territorial? We have a parrotlet and a budgie living in the same room (our living room). Each has its own cage, but cages stay open, birds spend daytime with us, only sleeping in cages. I'd...

My budgie tends to lean forward when perching, which I assume isn't normal because my other budgie sits up straight. He also been sneezing often these past months, and has some extra weight behind his legs. Any ideas on what it could be about? Money's too tight to see a vet atm so help would be...

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...

Ever since one of my budgies passed, my other budgie has been trying to hang out with my Quaker. I don’t let them out of the cage together because I don’t want Lemonade (my budgie) getting hurt, but they sit with each other through the cage bars (Lemonade on the outside, Milo on the inside) all...

Hi there, my male budgie Arei is hormonal ( first time ) and I am not sure on what to do. Whenever I take his entire toy out to clean because of the mess on it, he follows after it and screams / chirps very loudly almost sounding like he’s agitated, but then the second he is near it he calms...

Hey, I'm talking about Norman, my a little over 2yrs old budgie. He's a boy. He's always been a bird that molts a lot, but it was light shedding for the most part. I can't remember exactly when, but he stopped molting. He was normal other than that. Just like 2 or so days ago he's been losing...

Hello! I'm Macky! I have 4 precious budgie babies and I often have questions, so I joined this forum! They're doing just fine right now! I think I'm doing a wonderful job at taking care of 'em! But I may have questions in the future, so it'll be good to have this resource! :) These are my...

Natural perches for free to good home. SACRAMENTO, CA Hello! I wanted to offer up some stands that I made for my budgies but aren't able to use because of my household situation. They are made of two high quality birch wood plywood that was garnished and I added wheels to the bottom. Then...

I have to force feed my budgie some medication, and I was wondering the best way to do it? I’ll need to do this twice a day with a syringe (two medications with a smaller tip syringe, one with a fairly large tip syringe). So, what’s the most comfortable/least stressful way to do this? I’d like...
