I’ve got four lovely budgies, I adore them so much. After three years I am finally getting past some of my health issues enough to stick to taming them. Having known me for this long, they are very friendly and sweet - as long as we have cage bars between us. I’ve been able to work them up to...

I’ve currently been giving each budgie 1 tablespoon of seed and one tablespoon of chop daily (Waiting on pellets arriving) I know this might not be the right section but I’ll add it in I’ve been giving each one of my kakarikis the same 1 tablespoon of seed and 1 of tablespoon of chop Also...

Hi there, I have 3, 7 year old budgies, well had 3 budgies. 2 males, 1 female. They were all housed together until the female had egg binding and were separated as per the avian veterinarian's recommendation. The 2 boys were in 1 flight cage, the female sits across the room in another flight...

I recently got a new baby boy budgie to befriend my current 2 Yr old male budgie and while they seem to want to be near eachother they also keep picking on eachother. Whenever there is food, my new budgie tries to steal from my older one causing the older one to snap at him. Sometimes they try...

Hello everyone. I have a female parakeet I adopted from someone on craigslist a few months back. She is not housed with any other birds but resides in the same room with my two diamond doves, separate cages of course. I plan on getting her a friend/male parakeet soon, however more so the last...

It's been 3 days since my budgie flew away from my home. He initially was in a tree nearby but later on disappeared. I've been putting up missing posters, placing his cage outside, reporting a missing bird to the local vets and communities, going around the area calling his name, playing bird...

My budgie flew out into a tall tree today a little distance from my house, I've tried enticing him to come down with millet and calling his name but I'm not sure if he even sees me because I'm under the shade of the tree. I've tried to get up higher on a ladder and using a long stick with millet...

I'm looking for a new budgie to be a companion to my current one, Sky, who is around 2 years old and male. He used to have a female friend a long time ago who unfortunately passed away. I'd appreciate some advice on what gender / age will ideally get along with Sky, I'm thinking of getting a...

Recently my 2 years old male budgie Levi has gotten these orange sticky sore-looking things on his feet. I noticed it around 5 days ago, I thought he stepped in honey while walking around the kitchen. Yesterday I noticed that it looks like an infection. It is also swollen. This is how his feet...

Hello everyone very nice to meet you all! I just recently got my first ever bird (budgie, 3 months old, got him last week) and its mood has been all around the place. He still hasnt made a sound (only chirps when it hears birds from the window). It has let me hand feed it 3 times (twice...

Okay, so let’s start this off: I’m a university student who absolutely ADORES birds and grew up around parakeets, so I have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to maintaining their needs. So around two and a half months ago, me and my boyfriend made the decision to adopt these two birds...

So my budgie passed away today and right before he passed this clear liquid came out of his beak, and even after he passed it was dripping out. It also came out of his nose and it just bothered me seeing that. I'm not sure if it was a digestive fluid or something but if you do know please let me...

My parents got me a couple of budgies last summer. I love them to death but ive never been able to fully tame them. The only times they’re willing to step onto me or even let me get close is when they fly too far from their cage and need help getting back. This time my girl Edith flew right out...

Hi! Urgent question I hope you can answer, my budgie was eggbound with swelling in her vent. We took her to a doctor who expelled the eggs but did not clean or disinfect the area. He told us to do it at home. We tried to catch her but it was very hard and she was looking very tried so we put the...

hi everyone, I have two budgies I've had them for a year and a half and the female one laid an egg either the night before yesterday or yesterday morning and she hasn't laid another egg since and now I come back home to find brown poop in their cage. I don't know if it's the female or the male...

I have a male budgie named Griffith, he's 1 year old. recently his beak started becoming darker & rough. This is how he used to look normally. This is how he looked on 3rd this month. it's already kinda dark here. This is how he looks today. It's a lot darker. My other male budgie (Levi)...

I have a male budgie about 2 to 3 years old, and a female who's almost a year old. I've had my male (bluey) for a few years and have never been able to tame him, but will eat out of my hand. My female (Saturn) I got a month ago since my other female died, she does not like me at all but...

Don’t exactly know whats going on with my female parakeet… 😓 I dont know what that white “fur” is. She’s been nesting on eggs but they never hatched. her stomach looks a little puffy and white

Hello, It’s been a while since I posted! I was able to help Hercules with his screaming and he’s an absolute dream now, took a lot of time and effort of figuring out why he was screaming and once I cracked the code I barely hear him anymore other than his happy chirps and dances. I adopted...

Hi, this is my cute budgie whose feet and nails look like this , what could be the reason and solution for it?I had an online consultation and the vet didn’t even look once at my bird but just listened to me and suggest some vitamins which is for dogs and said if this doesn’t help nothing will...

I recently rescued 3 birds (2 budgies and 1 turquoisine parakeet). They have been living in extremely small cages right next to each other for years. I feel horrible for the Turk as she is all alone and I would love for her to be around other birds (there is nowhere near me to get another turq)...

Okay, before everyone gets upset that I have a dog, Teyla is the sweetest, most chill dog to ever exist. She's literally so tolerant, but Elvis is just being stupid at this point. Both Teyla's kennel and the birds' cage are in the living room because Mom is firm that the animals won't be...

ofc they aren't fighting lol.

Hi all! I was buying a flight cage that I found on Facebook marketplace from a family that has a lot of budgies in a variety of cages and aviaries. When I was there, I noticed that their English budgies were separated into two cages. In the first cage was a male/female bonded pair, along with...

Elvis, Olive and Turtle have been eating brown rice, seeds, and pellets (occasionally, because they're so picky and hate the pellets we're currently buying, but the bag ain't empty yet) but I have been trying to get them to eat more stuff. I have been trying to feed them sliced carrots for a...

So, I have a budgie (cricket) and I got her in May. I think she’s a she, but now I’m starting to think she might be a he? Anyway… I believe she is mimicking my cockatiel, Rico. And this just started today. She makes a quiet, version of Rico’s fear/angry-at-the-human screech. At least, it sounds...

I have three budgies, Bubbles a 6 yr old male who loves bells and is being weaned off of mirrors, Aqua a 4 yr old male he has an injured wing that makes it difficult for him to fly and Sunny a one year old female who isn't tame yet. I will be getting a Bourke hopefully soon once I find a good...

So my about 6 year old budgie has been having a lot of problems recently that have me concerned. His beak has started to grow too fast for him to manage and we had to begin trimming it on a regular basis so that he can eat, drink and clean himself. But- he also has feces stuck to his vent and it...

Hi, so I discovered a pellet brand called Pretty Bird. I can get all sizes but I cannot get the species specific for cockatiels because it is not sold on Amazon and will not ship outside of the continental USA because Alaska :/ Anyway, I believe that it’s a brand that I could feed to Rico and...

Elvis used to love looking out of the window around January-March, but now he'll look out the window and get spooked, sometimes peck at the window, sometimes fly away only to fly right back. I thought that he was scared of the birds outside, but when I closed the curtain the next day, he hated...

I left home for about 2 hours and my budgies beak looks dented or cracked, and it has some dark/small red spot underneath this weird looking crack. I took some photos of me holding her. These are the best photos I could get. What do I do?

Hello, I am looking into getting a budgie and know the ins and outs of budgies and their care. Rico is a friendly bird and I’m sure would take to a budgie very well and we have the space but would this be a good idea? My mom is a hard NO on green cheeks but I’m not sure about budgies since we...
