parakeet help

So as you all know my Parakeet: Heisinbird was diagnosed with Cancer. He was given only a week to live but has miraculously survived several, months later and is thriving. The vets said the tumor was still present but growing more slowly than they expected. I am grateful for every day I still...

For some context, I've had this shy budgie for over 2 years now; she hasn't been very friendly towards me ever since her partner died last year but she does hop around the cage and chirp to other birds whenever she is outside. I haven't been able to feed her anything else besides store-bought...

I woke up this morning and saw that my parakeet mingo had a red spot on their beak and I was wondering if he needed to be taken to the vet at all. They was very active and loud this morning but they’ve been sleeping and making quiet chirps for the past few hours so I’m a little concerned, it...

I've been trying to tame my budgie for a while now, but I am struggling. She gets spooked whenever I pass the cage, and nothing I do helps that. I've tried putting bits of millet into her food bowl when I pass, but I don't know if she eats them. She is comfortable with me until my hands do...

Last time I talked about Luke’s droppings on here he got off of his antibiotic treatment and that I no longer go to the vet I brought him to for his infection. His poops went back to normal and were normal for weeks. He has been on his probiotic and everything was good and I didn’t change...

This week a noticed a reddish brown mark appear on Luke’s beak. The mark isn’t flaky or anything and it looks like it’s flat and apart of the beak. You can see another section of his beak is trying to grow so I think he might have hurt himself but I’m not sure. He does come out of the cage and...

I’ve spoken about Luke recovering from an infection in previous threads. He’s been off antibiotics since Monday and we are between vets at the moment. I don’t want to drive myself crazy because most of his his poops seem to look good but there will be these few random watery droppings either...

Luke lost some weight by not eating his food on his second round of antibiotics (which It was put in the food and is a bitter tasting medication). He was pretending to eat so I didn’t realize he wasn’t eating until I could physically feel his keel bone when I went to pick him up. He is no...

I had a crazy day today :wacky: So I officially need to find Luke a new vet. The office I’ve been taking him to was not a avian specialist but as you may have read in my last thread that because of COVID the avian specialists in my area are all on leave and that this new vet I’ve been taking...

I checked on Daisy this morning and saw a red spot on his head. Is this just molting or is there something wrong with his head?

my bird has a small cut on his foot was bitten by the other parakeet. There is no bleeding but its a little red with a little skin. I have read that some people used Neosporin but some say it's ok for parakeets and some say it's bad for them. I'm not sure what to do, any suggestions or help...

Hello! If I post things in the future to look for some help, it might involve my 4 parakeets and green cheek conure. I have a question already, and I hope this is the right place to post this One of my budgies stopped eating yesterday (vet closed Sunday) and plan on taking him today except it...

Hello! If I post things in the future to look for some help, it might involve my 4 parakeets and green cheek conure. I have a question already, and I know this is the intro forum (Please let me know where the right place to ask this is ) One of my budgies stopped eating yesterday (vet closed...

I have 3 sets of parakeets 2 in each cage. The first two we bought for my son and I to enjoy together, the second set a lady had up on FB saying they needed to find them a home cause their cat was stalking them so badly, and the third said the same- they had a cat that wouldn't leave them...

hi! I’ve been super stressed about my new parakeet lately. I got him over the weekend from PetSmart. (This is my second bird, I have a cockatiel but I separated the two cause my other one didn’t really take a liking to him.) so I brought my new bird to my parents house and since he didn’t get...

hello, This looks like a great place. I am worried about my parakeet named Candy. He is a very sweet guy but lately he has been opening his beak up as if in pain and he is taking a lot of naps. I am not sure if the pain comes from the right side of his neck and or also his right foot. Sometimes...

Hello! My budgie is about 3 months old, and he's growing new tail feather. He lost both tail feather when I got him, but at that time the vet (avian specialised) said it's alright, he'll grow back. However, I realised that one of the tail quills looks different. From the attached picture, you...

So I have 2 parakeets and am wanting to buy them a significantly larger cage. The only problem is that I have one that refuses to even be near me. If he’s like that, how am I going to get him to the new cage? He also flies, meaning I’m nervous for him to fly around my room when I’m trying to...
