parakeet

Hello everyone. I am sorry if this post is in the wrong place, I am new here. My parakeet Cookie has a fatty tumor, and it is recommended to be put on strict diet. I don't know what kind of diet I should give to Cookie, so can you help me if anyone has been in this situation? (What food precisely)

Hello, Past 2 week ago I notice that one of my budgie's nasal discharge and breathing problem. Then, I contact to local expert and they recommend doxycycline for 7 days. After that, slightly nasal discharge go away and breathing problem reduced. After That, again expert recommend...

Hi, I bought a pair of cockatiel since 4 days. But I notice it that their activity is slow and they stay quite and become puffy and also they stay as closed eyes. Also their poops are water like and now it like green. What I Should to do?? Does my cockatiel have any problem?? Its my first time...

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...

Hi everyone. So, last Friday our parakeet somehow managed to break his bottom beak. He has been to the vet and it was labeled "traumatic amputation" on the paperwork. He was given an antibiotic shot, a pain medication, and special food. He will not eat the food that was given to us and he...

(I am going to try to sound calm) (Also is he a budgie?) Hello bird family! I was at petsmart for dog food and stopped to look at the birds, a guy by me was looking at reptiles and went off on a rant that ended in him explaining he was wanting to get a snake to eat his “stupid bird” - I ended...

Last Friday, I came home from work to find a parakeet in my front yard. It stopped me in my tracks because the only thing I really knew about parakeets was that they were people's pets, not wild like sparrows and cardinals. Being a dog person, I tried talking to it and approaching slowly, but...

Hello everyone! Something strange happened today and I was wondering if it’s normal that my green cheek conure Korben was regurgitating for his budgie neighbor. I know that birds regurgitating for one another is a normal thing and a sign of bondedness but is it normal (and a good thing too)...

Hi, there. First post. I am planning to adopt a green cheek conure once I find a good breeder in Georgia. The problem is, I have a little budgie who had a respiratory infection a few weeks back. He has since recovered (stopped antibiotics last week) and is back to normal, but I am still...

Hello! I'm Shayla and i have owned many animals growing up from dogs to amphibians, due to my mum and family owning a pet shop! Currently we still own quite a few animals (check the information on my profile to see what we have) but the ones that i personally own are the cockatiels, goldfish...

Pascal laid an egg this morning! Unfortunately, it was cracked when I found it, but I took it out of the cage to dispose of it and just out of curiosity, I cracked it the rest of the way in a bowl, and it was fertilized! (You can tell because fertilized eggs have a small whitish dot on the...

*I embeded a link to the video, let me know if it doesn't work.* Warning: this may he disturbing/hard to watch. I'm posting this here for awareness and to see what may be wrong with this bird. I went to my local Pet Smart today and saw this. This little budgie was breathing heavily, had...

Hi everyone, I'm a new Parakeet owner, have tons of questions on how to take care of this little guy! :) I'm also working on a blog to record our progress and all the mistakes/ tips I learned while having my parakeet. Hopefully, other new parakeet owners will find my blog useful in the future...

My budgie is and has been on a seed only diet for 2 months now, I like my budgie and we get along she's adorable but we all know how dangerous it is when birds don't get the right diet, my budgie is from PetSmart so this is obviously expected, I've had her for 2 months and she's likely about 5-8...

So I found a really great deal for a cage for my single budgie, and I bought it and set it up today, and my budgie hopped right in! Very glad and very excited for my budgie to be in a larger cage finally. I am concerned that I didn't space it out correctly, because I put the natural and rope...

Does anyone have experience with budgie eye removal? I may have to choose between an eye removal (likely expensive and with uncertain outcome) and euthanasia. My bird was attacked by another parakeet and has other injuries including having a portion of scalp ripped off and lacerations. Has...

I am all well and good with the amount of birds we have now, but my husband fell in love with a little bourke at the bird fair today. I held my ground in saying no since I know who most of the care will fall on but just in the off chance he decides hey, I'm going to buy one anyways, what is...

My budgie, Nugget, is looking for a new home. I hate to have to rehome her, but I cannot supply her the things she needs to thrive and be happy. The reason I am looking for a new home for her is because she is very flighty and is constantly damaging blood feathers from trying to fly around in...

Hi everyone! This is my first post on Avian Avenue. I was directed from Reddit to come here because I really need help with my bird. I have a violet indian ringneck who’s 17 weeks old. I got him at 15 weeks and he’s extremely scared of people. I haven’t been able to hold him yet, have him take...

I have two parakeets and I don’t feed them millet. I used to and they loved it. However, I read somewhere that it was unhealthy to feed them it too often so I slowed their intake until I stopped feeding it to them at all. Right now they eat pellets and fruits and vegetables everyday. They also...
