Hiho everybody, Sorry I haven't been as active. Life kinda took the reins and stuff and things happened
little update on Kumo and Yuki my two budgies... Kumo has been, well Kumo lol. Very active, energetic, playful and just a little fuzzball I love to bits.
Yuki gave me and the BF a scare she was recently sick with what I will call... The bird cold. I have never had budgies before and one getting sick was a nightmare. She had problems breathing, you could hear her ''weezing'' and was sneezing a whole lot. I took her to a vet two towns over and my goodness this vet was not what I thought. He didn't tell us what it could be, was very scared of her (he didn't want to get bit) and ended up giving us some kinda of mix of drops and things that we could either put in their water OR force it in her beak. I didn't like either option and the forcing her to drink was just a big nono for me as she would just ''spit'' it out again. I saw @Ali had left a message on my timeline and told her what was up. My BF had been looking for an avian vet since we left the first one we had gone to, Why I didn't just take her to an actual avian vet is still baffling and annoying. My BF who was more worried than me found one just A TOWN AWAY! We went the next day and by goodness I felt so much more comfortable with him. They way he handled Yuki and the way he was explaining everything to as and asking about her diet, the humidity, where they are located in the house, was just...amazing. He gave her a shot of antibiotics and something to help with breathing and within 2 days of going to him Yuki was going back to her old self.
Anywho here's a vid of them Finally leaving their cage, it's about a month old and they have gotten a lot more used to getting out and about. Now to regain the trust I lost with Yuki as I did have to get her into her travel cage. twice.... and that was not easy or pleasant for either of us.
