budgie

Hi everyone, my name is Issam, and am obsessed with cockatiels and budgies. I just started a blog, giving away a few tips and tricks about how to take care of our lovely pet birds. Here is it if you wanna check it out: featheredpet.com

I've had my budgie, Haven, (female) for almost a year now. She used to be very social and let people hold her all the time. After about a month, she started pecking my finger when I held her. I looked it up and trained her out of it. Now she hates being held, and has for months. I have been...

Hi, I’ve had my blue budgie for almost 6 years. He had a cage mate until last year when he passed in the night. Until recently, he has been alone and actually kind of happier without a cage mate. He has a large cage more suited for 3-4 budgies to himself. A few days ago I got a lovely yellow...

Hello so long story short would it be okay to keep 2 female budgies and 1 male together? So I have had 4 budgies for about 1 year and I had two budgies in one cage and two budgies in another but awhile ago one of the budgies passed away (about 5 months so the companion budgie has quarantined)...

Hi there We got a female budgie a week ago from a bad conditioned place. She’s been there for about four years. She’s a little cage bound. We let her out for the first time yesterday and she was super calm the whole time. She accepts a millet spray from my hands. She was on an almost all - seed...

Hi all. Sorry to make my first post here a somber one. Introduction: I have a budgie named Trickster. I have had her for about 6 years now and she is a lovely, inquisitive girl. She loves interacting with new objects, flying around, and exploring. She loves to play with fingers and enjoys...

Tweety :yellow2: is 3-4 years old. She has always been VERY relaxed and chill often sleeping most of the day and playing more around night time. She'll sing sometimes and loves being scratched. She also molts very often, maybe every 3 months? I should have kept a log but never did. My concern...

I got a new budgie 5 days ago and I’m new to owning birds. I’ve been keeping him on my desk, constantly showing him my hands and talking to him and talking to him while I clean/ refill his cage needs... I have two problems. He won’t take treats out of my hand or even stand on it, and he has a...

Hi, I need some advice regarding my male (young) budgie, called Phil, because he has stopped eating food from a family member since his budgie friend (Paris) died a few weeks ago. Phil still eats from my hand, but for some reason he has stopped eating from my family member’s hand, so I don’t...

Hello, My budgie (Sky) has been having looser poops compared to before. His poops used to look like dark green/ black lentils with white strips. Now his poops are more watery and lighter for the last two months. First I thought maybe it is because of spinach but when I restricted his diet to...

Hi, I’m trying to convert my young budgie (Phil) from a base diet of seeds to pellets. He does eat vegetables, sprouts and other healthy food, but I’d like him to eat pellets. I’d appreciate any advice. :) I’m using Harrison’s Organic Pellets (high potency, super fine). So far, I’ve added...

I am getting a kitten next week, and I already have two budgies. The budgies are in their cage most of the day downstairs in the living room, the living room doesn't have a door, it's very open. When I let them out for exercise, we go upstairs in my room, because the living room has too many...

I got hand tamed budgies around 4 days ago and they were eating from my hand and stepping up. Yesterday I woke up and checked on my parakeet and they were hesetent about eating from my hand and were scared to step up even one foot on my finger. I also thought that they might not have been able...

I have had my budgie since mid May, and I love her. The only problem is that she doesn't really let anyone hold her. She actually seems to have gotten worse, not better. I looked up a method to get her to stop pecking, and it worked perfectly, but she has come up with a new tactic. Every time i...

So, I've recently got myself a single female cockatiel and she has the softest most adorable personality. I've waited until her quarantine period has ended before trying to introduce her to my 2 budgies in the living room. Witje, my female budgie isn't particularly fond of her but she's okay...

Budgie is Hurt Please Help! Hi, It’s been awhile since I’ve used the forums so I’m not sure if I’m using it right again but I’m not really sure what to do. I took my two budgies to the bird store I got them from to get their nails trimmed. Usually the owner does the grooming and it goes well...

I went to a pet store I trust and have gotten wing clippings for my smaller birds who have a higher risk of escapingg from some parts of the house. Today when I went in to get my budgies wing trimmed there was a new employee. I instructed him to only trim a few flight feathers and he said he was...

Hi everyone! So I recently got a new budgie about a week and a half ago to be with my sisters budgie who is now mine. I changed my sisters budgie’s diet and put her in a big cage with toys compared to her crammed cage with other budgies. So I’ve been working on taming them. They used to be...

Hey, I’m new to this forum! Yesterday my parakeet, Snowy who is 3 years old, flew into a window because she was panicking. I noticed when I was feeding her she was holding one leg awkwardly and the leg was limp. It wasn’t bleeding and didn’t look different but she was holding it weirdly. I...

I have two budgies, and have gotten to the point in training them where I can feed them treats while they perch on my finger. However, if I try to pet them or get close to them without the treats, they move away from me. How can I finish their training so that they can be close and feel safe...

Hi, Paris (my female budgie) got a white mark near the top of her beak last evening, and it hasn’t gone away. Please help, I don’t know what this is and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. :confused: But she’s playful and flying a lot etc. I’ve attached pictures – please help! Edit: If...

Hello there! I'm here on the forum to ask some questions for my mom and about our English Budgie, Sunny. Sunny is about three years old now and has been healthy the whole time that he's lived with us. I think the most abnormal thing about him is that he molts a LOT. I personally don't think...

My birds nose when I got him/her was white, and now its changing color. I believe its called the cere? What can I do to help my bird?

My 1 year old male budgie Aleksi suddenly took a bad turn on Saturday. Out of nowhere he started gagging and throwing up white liquid, which later turned into just throwing up whole seeds. I had to wait until tuesday to get him to an avian vet because of memorial day. Those 2 days after...

Hi, i have a female budgie shes around 7 months old and I've noticed that she recently started getting a weird crusty yellowish kind of thing on both sides of her beak like on her jaws and its started to grow more everyday, im really worried about her all the vets are closed due to lockdown and...

Hi, 10 days ago, two baby budgies hatched in my cage. They are doing well. However, the last egg just hatched today. The 10-day old baby budgies are quite large now and the newborn budgie is very small. I am scared the newborn baby will be neglected by the mother or injured by their older...

Hi, I got my first budgie on the 11th January 2020. She is okay with me touching her and will go on my finger however she started to show signs of loneliness so we decided to get another budgie for her on the 21st of February 2020. This other budgie we named Rio is so scared of humans, he hides...

Hi, I am new here and not familiar with forums so hopefully this is in the right place (sorry if it isn't) and that I am doing this right. I have been looking and looking for a water bottle that doesn't leak!! I always relied on these as they have been great, fit the cage perfectly and never...

Hello everyone, I have just joined the forum. I have a yellow male budgie. In normal life, I have been feeding him primarily with "VERSELLE LAGA Prestige Budgie" seeds including oats, safflower, millet. Apart from these seeds, each day (only once a day) we are giving a very small...

I know the basic rules for determining budgie age, but I could use some help from someone with more experience. 1. Teddy does not have bars on top of his head, but there are some black specks. Is that just how he looks, or could they be left over if he recently lost his bars? 2. I do see white...

So I have a year old budgie parakeet I have had him since August of 2019. I have been living at an apartment and going to college but moved back home for a few months due to the recent COVID-19 shutting down my university. The problem arose when my parents got a 11 week old Australian Shephard...

My female budgie who has been living with her male partner for more than 8 weeks suddenly decided to change her home and partner. She voluntarily went to a new smaller home with this new male that I had rescued 6 weeks ago. The female budgie often got angry at her previous male partner when he...

I have a male budgie who is a few years old and having balance issues. My mum called me frantically and said he was flailing his wings in the air. I ran in thinking it might be a stroke, but he climbed back up to the perch and is constantly swaying from side to side. He’s trying to move from...

Hello everyone, i own a couple of budgies. Today i noticed the female sitting down on the floor of the cafe and after a while i noticed and egg!! In order to avoid crushing, i put a nest on the door of the cage and placed gently the egg inside. 2 hours have passed and the female just twice...

Howdy! So I have three budgies, the first two were relatively young when I got them and have been a breeze to bond with, however, I just took home a new budgie today, Casper. She looked fine when I saw her, but younger than the others. Now I'm noticing things. For one, she struggles to perch on...

Hi there. I got a new budgie roughly 3 weeks ago now and unfortunately in the time we've had him the poor little guy has started snapping and pulling at his wing and tail feathers. Ezio is a young aviary bird that we bought from a local pet shop who showed no signs of plucking or anything like...

Hi My 6 year old budgie started developing lameness in her right leg a few weeks ago. When I took her to the avian vet he found a lump in her abdomen which is probably a kidney tumour. After some research I found some budgies with this condition have benefited from knotgrass and want to give it...
