Hi everyone, looking for wisdom on possible gout in my little Winston. Went to the vet yesterday due to some odd lumps on his toes, discomfort on perch. Dr. Prescribing antibiotic for inflammation and also pain meds for two weeks. Does not think it is bumblefoot, possibly gout. This is a budgie...

I have my original two, Lady(green) and Blue(obviously blue) that we got from a pet store. We had originally hoped to adopt so my name was on a wait list at out local rescue but they don't get many birds. After buying our bird our shelter contacts me asking if I wanted two birds... so now we...

I am looking for a male albino American budgie in northwest Ohio

If you are looking for a budgie to talk, will it happen if you have 2 Budgies? In the parrot world does it take just a single parrot to make or break success of talking?

My budgie was flying and fell into a bucket of floor detergent. I got it out immediately and washed it with warm water, it is now keeping warm and resting. What should I do next, my nearest vet is a hours away.

My budgie flew into the window repeatedly. His cere seems to be peeling off? A white layer had separated from it. He seems fine, like nothing out of the ordinary happened. What should I do? There are no avian vets in the area, so I'm hoping it's not that serious.

Long story short i had 2 budgies but one of them pass away 3 days ago… I Don’t Know what to do right now because the other is healthy and young but she is very depressed right now. she stop being herself, not really eating, not playing, not drinking enough water, and rarely talks, I’m trying...

Hi everyone! I'm currently researching new cage options for Frankie, my 2.5 year old budgie, and I was curious if other parakeet parents had insights on ways to help her acclimate to a new cage and reduce any anxiety she may have about the change. Her current cage is really too small and not...

Hi all :greet13: luke’s new tail feather grew in kind of messy looking. Then I noticed his wings look kind of the same. What is this? Everything else seems to be normal and he still can fly normally too.

These are my two new budgies (they are both around 7 months old). I was told they are both boys but I have suspicion that the one on the left is a girl so I was wondering what other people think. She? is definitely less talkative than the other one. Her? cere is lighter blue as you can see in...

Hi everyone! I’m new here. We’ve been thinking of purchasing a new bird for a while now and we’ve narrowed it down to a budgie and a cockatiel. We used to have a green budgie, but unfortunately he passed away back in 2020 after 9 years. We love budgies but we feel that a new one might never...

Hi! I posted something like this awhile back while he was still a baby, but I still can’t figure out if my budgie is a male or female. I refer to him as “he” because I always have but his cere seems to change from pinkish to bluish to purplish throughout the day. He has gone through two molts...

So over the last two day my budgie has woken up with poop on his butt. he gets the occasional sticky poop during the day but it always comes off on it's own. Day before yesterday I noticed a significant amount of poop stuck to his vent. I cleaned it off and watched him. No more stuck poops and...

Hi, so my budgie has had dirty vent on and off for almost as long as I’ve had him. It’s something I’ve always been concerned about, so I took him to two different vets and they’ve said that he was fine. One even did a fecal exam and the results came out clean. But his poop is extremely watery...

So, I've had this budgie for over a month now, and just found out that she is, in fact, a girl! Now I need to find her a suitable name. She is a cinnamon violet, 5-6 months old, likes to chew on almost everything (my headphones suffered from this) and she even mimics the sound of small kisses...

Look at the beak and tail of my 1 month old budgie. It's beak and tail is so short. Is it abnormal? It's siblings are normal but this one is different.

Hi all, I have a flock of five budgies currently and need some weight loss help. I've had keets for 15+ yrs now, but I've never had a big issue with obesity until recently. My current flock of keets are all 3-5 years in age. I also have lovebirds. My birds live in species-specific large flight...

Hi everyone, I brought a new budgie. Its name is rainbow :budgieyf: . We brought her because my yellow colour budgie has become stress, so we decided to buy a new budgie. After we brought, My Yellow colour was finally free from stress. Can anyone tell me what gender it is? Because I feel it is...

Hi everyone! For 5 days I’ve been realising ruby the blue colour budgie has a yellowish white watery poop. As the image below. Could anyone tell me what kind of disease is this? And how to cure that disease?
