budgies

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...

Kev & Nellie love eating the seedling grass out of my hand (summer grass?) They are also love snow peas and silver beat….can you get your budgies to eat their greens??!

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 all, It's been a while since I posted here. Unfortunately after my dear Percy and Pepe passed away it has been hard for me to post on the forums however I have been reading and reacting to posts. It's a bit of a long-ish story of what is currently going on but I hope someone on here might...

I don't know what happened to the yellow bird but one day when I'm away suddenly I saw blue colour's feather fall. Then the next day the yellow bird can't fly really high. He is a great flying bird compare to all the birds but suddenly this happened.. Can anyone please give me the way to cure...

Hey everyone! I got my original budgie 2 weeks ago and she was bonding with me. She didn’t step up yet but she knew not to be scared. I got her sister from the same breeder 2 days ago. They get along fine and they’re happy and all but my original budgie has forgotten the bond with me. She runs...

So my budgies had a night fright when I accidentally bumped their cage, and it was pretty scary. What do you do when this happens? Usually I turn on the light and take off the cover(although I only cover when the light is on) and try to talk in a soft voice, but is there anything else I can do...

Sprinkles and quierido are bored:meh: if I let them out they go to the same places and preen. But I want them to have a FUN time out of the cage so they can play, get ecxersise and use their brain power!! Inside their cage it's a toy store with a bunch of varied perches but what about outside...

Stevie & Ronnie having a little preening and cuddling session….they are both so gentle with each other…. So far! Hope it stays that way!!!

Hi, just after a bit of advice. We have two young Budgies both with the same issue. They have been on the floor since leaving the nest box and struggle to perch. It seems they are only able to grip with/move one foot hence why they’re struggling. We took them to our local avian vet on Monday...

All I want is for my budgie Quierido to accept some scritches on the neck and on the head without him feeling uncomfortable, how do I get him to warmup or at least see if he will warmup to it? I don't want to try this with my other budgie because she diffinetly isn't interested in it at all, but...

I give my birds veggie chop every morning that consists of over 5 grains, over 6/7 veggies, and 2 healthy seeds that is sprinkled every morning. They also have their cuttlebone, their seed/pellet mix, a veggie/fruit for a snack (fruit is given rarely/once a week), and lastly treats for...

Hey guys, so my husband and I are moving! Our new house is about 4-4.5 hours away. Should I move all four birds in one container? And what should I use? I have a backpack but they don’t like it/ it would be hard to put all four in. I also have the first cage I ever housed two of them in. What...

I am looking to attract the hummingbirds in my garden. But I have also some pet budgies in my garden. I just wanted to know if anyone here having the experience of budgies and hummingbirds. Can we attract the hummingbirds in the presence of pet budgies? I am going to use the hummingbird feeders...

I know I said I would take a break but this is urgent. Sprinkles feathers usually look like first pic, and now her perfect feathers seem messy! Is she plucking?

Hello! I am very new to this and I'm not sure if this is even where I ask questions, but today I got my very first pet budgies! They're both siblings, but I was told they couldn't determine the gender since they're too young, and then it dawned on me that what would happen if they turned out to...

I didn't know until now. And I pay good attention to those notty birbs.

Hello, my two budgies sleep in my room, I cover their cage with a bed sheet. But in the morning, cage cover on or off, they start angry chirping and fly every where crazy until I either leave the room or let them out. They don't stop. It's like a habit now!!! I can't wake up peacefully and I...

Hi! So, currently, I have three budgies in the same flight cage (Percy, Calypso and Grover). Calypso and Grover seem to be more bonded to one another, as Percy used to be bonded with our other budgie, Nico, who passed away last year. At the time, I thought Percy would benefit from living with...
