budgie

Hello, I’m in a situation where my family has 11 birds. 10 of the birds are from a pair of birds that we had. The male passed away some years ago, but the female is still with us. I understand that these birds have not had it good. The birds bred 3 times and I honesty don’t think they were take...

hiiii so my budgies usually get along pretty well, i have 4 of them but today one of them attacked my 4yr old budgie and he hurt his foot. he usually is a very energetic and playful bird and he seemed alright during the day but for almost 2 hours now he has been sitting on one foot and wont let...

Ive got 10 parakeets, and each one I feel really fits into their names I’ve given them. Everyone except for this little grey fella, the newest addition. I’ve been calling him Gilbert, or Gil for short, but the name hasn’t really stuck. Recently I’ve been thinking that maybe Stormy is a better...

hello, i have two budgies and they are the first ones i've ever taken care of, so i am a pretty new budgie owner... i have a few questions regarding their behavior, im not really sure if i should be worried or not :shrug: and i also apologize if using "antisocial" in the title is considered...

Hello! I am new here but my Male budgie has a dark spot on his lower beak and im extremely worried for him. I just wanted information on what i could do because i love him very much and it does make me paranoid to see something unusual like this. I just started seeing it a couple days ago but I...

Hello everyone. I got some new budgies a few days ago and yesterday evening I noticed two of them have yellow coloured feathers around their eyes. I would appreciate any advice on whether or not this is harmful and if I need to go and visit a vet.

I have a 3 year old male budgie who will only eat fresh fruit and veg if I slice it wafer thin and hold it up to him between my fingers. I've put out chops for him three times a day for three weeks now - I put seeds in the chops, eat the chops myself (yuck), and play around with chops trying to...

my budgie Hermes has been having issues as of late and so I usually give him apple cider vinegar but diluted with water through a syringe. I recently did the usual and filling of the glass and was tired and accidentally took out of the shot glass of ACV and gave it to him. It was only one drop...

Hi there, I have one budgie named Florian that I am trying to care for as best as I can. He had a boyfriend, Sprout, who was a special needs budgie we got in 2020. Unfortunately Sprout passed away in 2022, so Florian has been a widow since. He has always had a rather nervous disposition. We...

New here and apologies for asking in advance. I found a budgie flying around my house, for four or five days I tried to get him, and today I finally coaxed him into a cage. On the first or second day I noticed a spot on his lower back(?) above his tail has exposed feathers as in you see the...

I come here alot for parrot advice since I got my two babies from their past owner! Meet Pearl and Sapphire :laugh: (The cage and dowel perches were from the past owner, they are being replaced ASAP :o:)

You can answer any questions you know the answers for What are some care and behaviour differences that linnies and budgies have compared to cockatiels? Do any budgie mutations have pink feathers? How to find adoption centres like rescues or shelters that have birds. I didn't get many results in...

Hi you guys! I have a question and this has been bothering me for a few days now, one because apparently I live two hours away from my closest avian vet, and two, because I don’t want my budgie to be sick. Basically last week I took both of my budgies to the pet store where they get their nails...

Hi, I am seeking desperate help. I had two budgies, Blá and Gulur, and one of them passed already. I live in a Scandinavian country where there is NO avian vets. Thus your help is very important (please!). I have been living with parrots for 20 years, so I trusted my observation a lot. They...

Hi! I’m new to the website, I just wanted to make an account in case I had any questions about bird care. I have a yellow crowned Amazon parrot named Vuela Vuela (she’s named after the song) and my sister has two budgies. Vuela Vuela was bought as an impulse purchase by my mom and since then...

Hi all, I’ve been on this site many times reading other posts, but this is my actual first post here! Hope it all goes well. :greet14: Main question: I heard many times across online forums and videos that ginger and turmeric mixed in water is good for birds, like for treating nausea symptoms...

First of all, please be kind. Secondly, yes I know I did a stupid thing. SO... this tale starts with a budgie. I have a friend who had a budgie, the budgie lost its feathers, friend did not take to vet, friend said: "There's no point in taking it to a vet looking like that, it's just a bird."...

Hi :) so, I have two budgies. My female (had him 2 or so years) Bailey, and a male, my Benji (who i've had just over a year). Originally the plan was to put Benji and Bailey together (in a decent sized cage -- its a yaheetech 52 in.) but, two things: Bailey was somewhat territorial? But also...

Rehoming 2 Lineolated Parakeets - I have two males from the same clutch born 12/5/23 & 12/6/23. One turquoise and one green. Both have been to the vet for a wellness check and are in excellent health. They are currently on a pellet and fresh veggie diet. Comes with cage and some accessories...
