My budgie boys are picky eaters, but you have a chance to teach Phoenix to have a varied diet which is great! The boys like kale and carrots as well as strawberries. I'm so glad Phoenix is being adventurous with his eating!
It helps that Phoenix has always been a little pigMy budgie boys are picky eaters, but you have a chance to teach Phoenix to have a varied diet which is great! The boys like kale and carrots as well as strawberries. I'm so glad Phoenix is being adventurous with his eating!
Of course!! Thanks!Over the years I have found that feeding fresh corn is difficult for them to digest as in some humans. Please leave corn out of her diet.
I could try that. When I got him out just now he immediately curled up into me and was preening my arm until he fell asleep. It was so cuteI imagine they tend to want to play more as they grow & not just sleep alot though sleep is still important.
You both will have to adjust to what is best & safest as he grows.
Be careful he does not jump with a full crop & land on the crop as it could push food into the airway.
I imagine that heat is not as important now as the brooder is practically the temp of your room.
He needs to learn to play by himself too so maybe a safe toy in the brooder to keep him occupied?
You can try putting some paper towels on the floor of your cage or that small cage & place some harrisons on floor to encourage him to forage & get some exercise where you don't have to corral him on the bed. You need a playpen for me that is safe & leaves you some time not to watch him every second.
Maybe that could work to add some different experiences to his day?
You decide whats best & safest as I am trying just to make suggestions but he seems like he is able to get around pretty well now but you dont want him falling.
If she wants a little snuggle during the day, I don´t see a problem now that her feathers are open more. As long as the rooms nice and warm.Man Phoenix wants out of her brooder so badly today.
I haven’t played with her much today, besides the snuggling for about 20 minutes. She loves rolling around the little cat ball she has, I’ll give her a wicker ball next!!If she wants a little snuggle during the day, I don´t see a problem now that her feathers are open more.

Did you end up playing on the bed? Try rolling a wicker ball around with her![]()
I'll start doing that, thanks! She doesn't seem uncomfortable at all, so there's that at leastAdd a few drops of water extra to her formula. Hopefully she gets better soon
Yes, stretching the wings is normal. All birds will do that every so often.Is her stretching her wings out like that normal? She usually does that a couple times after she gets out of the brooder.
Yes, very normal. My two do it all the time. I call it "birdie yoga".Is her stretching her wings out like that normal?
