new budgie

Hi so I just recently got a budgie like 3 days ago (he is under a year old) I was just wondering If there's any advice you guys have? I have had budgies before but they were a pair but this guy is alone, He is okay with eating out of my hand but that's all. Also I keep hearing that you should...

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’ve had him for 4-5 days now, he’s still pretty quiet I’ll hear him talking to himself a little but I’ve barley ever heard him talking, he eats from my palm and was landing on my arm when he was unsure where to land, when he’s eating millet he’s not bothered about my hands being around but he...

Hey there, new to AA, but currently need help! I'm a college student that has wanted budgies my whole life. I got one for Christmas, a male blue budgie named Gumball. Before the start of this spring semester, I decided to get a second budgie to be a companion for Gumball. I had thought I had...

I've had 2 budgies for about two weeks, and they seem not to trust me at all. They keep turning their backs on me and when I get too close, they sometimes try to fly into the cage. Is this normal or should I do something about it? How do I make 2 budgies trust you? Thanks.

I'm thrilled to be welcoming Peri, a 7-week-old budgie, but wanted to get more experienced members' advice on what to do for the first few weeks to make him comfortable and happy and friendly. He was handfed but seems extremely nervous - he stays in one spot for hours at a time and I'm worried...

After Blizzard passed away, I have missed having two budgies chirping and playing together all day. So now, three months later, I have brought home Pickle! He is half English budgie and half regular budgie. He hatched on 12/20/20 and just came home yesterday. Right now he is in quarantine, but...

My 3-6 month old budgie (the pet store didn't tell us the exact age) has been with for about 3 days now. I've noticed he hasn't been drinking, but is eating just fine. I haven't seen the water level change every time I change it but I tried to feed him some apple to give him some moisture from...

This is my budgie Tiki. A few months ago, I was worried about his beak and also about how to get closer with him so I posted here! I got so much feedback and I am thankful for everyone's advice. His beak is definitely better! I am still confused about his gender - but I believe it's a male...

Hello. I'm sure there are thousands of this type of posts. I think I've read all of them. But I still feel hopeless... or at least, I'm not sure what would be right for me to do. I got my budgie on 11th of October. He's a male. He's always been distant. For 5 days he refused to eat. He...

Blizzard came home yesterday! So cute! Some questions: 1. How long should I quarantine? (Kiwi and Blizzard were both bred, raised, and sold at the same store, this store would not intentionally sell you a sick bird and all parrots are hand-raised.) 2. Blizzard has five clipped...

The new budgie! Coming on August 22nd! (He's still being handfed) Photo: Some Questions I have: 1. Do I need to quarentine it? (He's from the same store as Kiwi) 2. What do I do if it's a female? 3. How soon should I introduce Kiwi and Newbie? (I will call it Newbie until we choose a name)...

I got this cutie recently and could use some help thinking of unique names. It's hard to see in this picture but he has a yellowish head.

I am in a bit of a predicament. I currently have two budgies, Luna (a female) and Indigo (a male). Indigo just went through his first molt and I believe Luna is around six months old. They are very happy, active, noisy and playful. They seem to be very fond of one another, consistently feeding...
