budgies

Hello everyone, I wanted to formally introduce myself. I’m from Colorado and I have two budgies. One is 5 month and my other is 1 year 1 month old. Their names are Cupertino and Leila and my name is Eva. I first posted here about my 9 month old budgie, he had passed away because of bloodwork...

My budgie panfilo was born at my house I took care of him as a baby, (backstory)…. About 2 weeks ago I saw he was pooping liquid so I immediately rushed him to emergency. The closes avian doctor near me is 1 hour away. But we made it. They told us he had metal poisoning and showed us the X-rays...

Hello! I have two budgies, brother and sister from separate clutches, Olive is the older one, a green female, roughly 9 years old and Billy Is the younger blue and yellow male at roughly 8 years old, It's my first time using a forum like this. We live in Scotland :) :birdance:

Hey guys! My female budgies poops often look like this. They're watery. She's about 10 months old. She eats pellets and chop with carrots and peas in it and occasional wheatgrass sprouts that we grow for the birds. Other than her poops she's prob one of my most active and curious birds. I'm...

So I have a female budgie named Chibi she is 2.5 years old she laid her first egg in Feb 2024 she laid only 2 eggs and that was it but since last month she was hormonal again and since a week was not sleeping properly today she tried to push an egg out but couldn't and I discovered that she was...

It's been 23 days since my budgie laid her first egg but no hatching yet. Are the bbys inside alright? Sadly only few of them seem alive...what you say? These are all 6 of her eggs

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...

This is my Budgies tail feathers, the rest of his tail is fine, there's just a gap in between where there isn't any feathers. Is this just a normal part of moulting or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hey all! My budgie, Genji, has been sneezing extremely frequently (10-20+ times a day!!) but the thing is, they're 90% dry sneezes. Occasionally he has a wet sneeze that is completely clear and doesn't run. I've checked for anything in his nares and he's totally clear. There's no sneezing fits...

Hello! I want to buy my budgies some nice new toys, and just wanted to know what brands I should consider and those I should avoid. I‘m iffy about buying things on Amazon, for fear of them being made out of low-quality material that could poison my birds. (Even plain wooden ones like these. I...

Hello friends! I'm Chaple or Ch4pl3, I've owned birds since I was around eight and a half. My most current birds (budgies) are named Chancey and Starlet, both are beautiful greens and yellows. While I enjoy training dogs and handling birds as a hobby and relaxing activity, my heart lays in a...

Hello All! So nice to meet you all. I’ve been a long time lurker of the forum but thought I’d make an account as looking to get some advice! After researching for quite some time I decided that parrotlets seemed like the bird for me! They sounded like the perfect little characters and I really...

Hello everyone! as my name suggests I am very new to birds. I have done YEARS of research so I felt prepared when I brought home two budgies who had been rehomed by a family. Their owner passed of a stroke. I love these guys so much and have upgraded their cage and eating habits. But today I...

Not sure if this was my budgie or a mouse who made these noises, but it started around 5 am when I heard strange squeaking and small sneezing I think. I shined a light in the cage and noticed one of my birds eggs hatched but I cannot see the baby and am not sure if the strange squeaking came...

So, over the course of months, I've realized that one of my budgie's lipoma has actually grown by a small margin, even though I feed her the vet prescribed seed mix, along with vegetables. Our vet said that surgical removal of her lipoma was extremely risky for an animal her size, but I'm...

Hi, I have mated pair of budgies (first time parents) who so far have 4 healthy newborn babies. But just recently the male has almost completely stopped eating and seems to be looking for something, although I'm utterly baffled to what it is. Since the male is not eating, he won't feed the...

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...

Hey, I'm looking for some naturally molted feathers from these specific mutations of birds for a crafting project to add some feathers to a trinket jar. Wondering if anyone would be willing to provide some?: :rflb: Normal / Wild Coloration Peach-Faced Lovebird Feathers Example pictures...

I've had my (2) budgies for 8 months now. They eat vegetables happily but when I make chop for them, they don't eat much, even though I use different the veggies (and grains) every 3 days. However, when I feed them veggies from my hand they eat all of it!. How do I get them to eat the chop I...

I brought one of my budgies to the vet today because she had dirty feathers around the vent and I have been worried about her increasing weight. They did an x-ray on her and diagnosed her with a lipoma. They understandably prescribed a diet. The prescribed seed mix seems to have the same...
