budgie

Hi! I recently became the “parent” to a roughy 5-6 week old budgie. He has started regurgitating food on me, and while I know this is probably a normal behavior, I wanted to get a second opinion. He does not seem to be in pain, or doing this involuntarily, but it’s happening quite a bit. Any...

Anyone else's budgie's get more anti-social when they molt? My boy is usually a bit more prickly, but never anti-social during molts, but the past 3 days he's been less social than normal. From wake up to about 3pm, he's his normal self, does all his routines, and is very social. but from...

Hi! I'm new here, but I always end up here when I'm looking for answers. I have had my budgie Opal for 4 years and she just laid her first clutch of eggs starting in mid january. She has laid 10 eggs total now. With the first 5 eggs, 2 were damaged by me (I feel so guilty), but the other 3...

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for taking the time to read! So, today morning I noticed that my 9yo budgie hadl ost quite some feathers in the vent area, and later in the afternoon I saw him go there himself and 4 more feathers fell from the intense "cleaning" he was doing. Also important...

Hello! I have an almost 5 years old female AG Congo, she is very sweet and social, she lives with a 1 year old female tiel and a 5 years old Show Budgie. They have this big bird room for themselves attached to an outdoor aviary (all of them fly). They are free all day together and at night each...

I just loss Jesse. I feel like it’s my fault. I knew she wasn’t acting normal but I just brushed it off as her being sleepy and it being early in the morning. She just screamed, flew across the cage and then fell dead. I feel like a bad mother. I keep losing my children and now, Saul is all...

Hiiiiii I'm DeeDee and I think I've caught the bird flu (the good kind, bird brain 24/7) :laugh: I just got my first baby budgie and I need more bird brained friends to share my experiences with! Meet Blue! My 12 week old baby! I'm on Day 3 and I have to say bonding is definitely going better...

Can I use an egg incubator to warm up my birbs after a bath? Thanks for your advice! :)

Hey ya'll! just wanted to check in and see if this is a normal behavior switch or not. My 7 (turning 8) ear old budgie, Genji has a pretty strict sleep routine and wake up routine that he follows diligently, and he's never shown must deviation in his night time behaviors. The past 2 days...

i’m sorry if this isn’t the best place to post this but hi! i currently have a 5/6 year old green cheek conure, everyone has said he is male but i’ve never had him sexed, so i’m not sure how accurate that is. anyways, i recently moved into an apartment and have had to work more hours, i worry...

My sanity is honestly at its wits end. Two years ago, Gus suddenly died of liver failure and I was the one to find his body then Heisinbird gets terminal Cancer and dies in my arms and now, Lydia has somehow contracted a reproductive infection and her sternum bone is crooked. Am I cursed? I did...

i posted a couple of days ago about my rescue budgie who passed away. the next day i cried in the morning, in my bed, while writing this poem for her and i wanted to share it with you all: In the wind you now fly high, spreading your wings wide Your eyes sparkle with a knowing smile There's...

Hello, I noticed my budgie's right toe is pointing towards the other one. Do they just need a nail trim? Or is this some other issue? Ive posted the right foot in question and the left foot as a comparison.

Hi.... My budgie Rosie was ill, slept puffed up most of the time, except to get up to eat. She was also constipated, and stopped talking, she talks a lot. Well a friend who raises birds gave me some medication for her water and this put her on the road to recovery. She is awake a lot now and...

Hey all! As the title states, i'm wondering what constitutes of "this is no longer zoomies, and is instead a sign of a problem"? My budgie Genji will usually have 1 or 2 points in the day (usually mid to late afternoon and right before bed) where he gets zoomies and will "boomerang" around the...

Hello everyone, i would like your opinion on my current budgie situation. I had two budgies, they shared a cage for more than four years, one male and one female. They got along pretty good, the female sometimes used to peck the male when he ate or when she had enough of him, but never too much...

Meet Buttercup my lovely new baby budgie. Buttercup arrived yesterday to my home. I assume Buttercup is a girl but now I am a bit doubtful because of the slight purple on the cere although there is white around the nostrils. Can anyone help? Please excuse the blurry pics I have buttercup in my...

Hello all! I got myself a budgie 2 weeks ago from the pet store! He is around 3-4 months old and super cute! I named him Pterodactyl, Pterry for short with a silent "P" Lol. I luckily have a lot of free time right now so I am able to spend time around him. I have been trying my hardest to...

Hey y'all! Got something weird going on here and don't know what to make of it! I turned my head to give Genji kisses today and noticed a weird smell. He's smells really strongly of like... soap. Or cilantro. Idk what the "sour smell" sour crop gives off, but it's not a repulsive odor like i'd...

Hi I’m looking for advice on how to set my sister-in-law up for success with her first bird. None of my birds need a new home…. I have three beautiful six month old sister parakeets that have lived together since birth. Soooo I’m a bit worried about splitting them up and to make matters worse...
