    Hey all, I am a semi-new bird owner. I got Basil (male parakeet) almost a year ago in March, and he's been a healthy and happy little guy up to this point.

    Could anyone give me some advice please? I adopted two budgies on Feb 11 and found that the green one's right wing was bleeding on the edge. Their previous owner has cut their fly feathers to prevent them flying away. I had the suspect that he has cut too deep and injured the poor bird...

    Hello, I bought a couple of budgies from my nearest pet shop. It was about 3 months ago. Recently they mated and we got a small baby budgie.

    Today I let my budgies out of the cage as normal but I just realized one of them is bleeding from her foot.

    Deformed budgie?

    So I saw this budgie at petco earlier and was wondering what’s wrong with him and if he can be helped at all. He was pretty oddly shaped and seemed to be breathing hard but that might just be because he was scared. He was also a lot smaller than the rest. I can’t stop thinking about the poor...
