budgie

I was wondering if I could keep a male and female budgie in the same cage without breeding. I've been looking for a cage mate for my little Caso and I completely fell in love with a little male in my facebook group that's up for sale. He looks to be a rainbow with a bright blue belly and yellow...

I just got my x-large cage in for my parakeet and was really wanting to add a little green in there for my baby girl! I read on a few sites that a Creeping Fig is a good plant to put in so I bought a small one, took out the Fertilized soil on the top half and replaced it with all natural top...

Hi, i should have done this before but i must have forgotten. So i have a budgie who i have named Gears but his name has become more "Tink" short for "Tinkering" I don't know i just found it cute he likes discovering things. He is young the pet store said around 8-9 weeks old and he is...

So i'm confused someone on Facebook claimed i shouldn't show my bird the clicker and the sound (first) then continue give him the treat. And that quote i should: By using the clicker before the action and then switching later to indicating that he did it will confuse him. I don't really trust...

Hey, i have a couple questions that relate to the same thing so i'll bunch it together inside the same post. 1: I whittle, which is wood carving i also know my woods fairly well and i'm wondering if there is a safe wood glue or wood finish safe for birds i'd like to make my budgie his own...

So when i had got my budgie i didn't notice until i was in the car that someone had placed one of those foot bands on him and i'm sure that's normal as i see people doing it with baby birds. But i'm wondering as he grows if that's something i need to call the vet on and have them take of or...

Hello i had ventured to the pet store to get my first bird a budgie I was told he is 8 weeks old and they had just got them in as a shipment. So my little budgie has been home for about Two days already he started chirping on occasion around the second day of him being home. When i go in to...

As the title suggests I have had a Budgie for almost a year and she still hates me. What do I do? :( She LOVES my other bird Clyde, he is a cockatiel. My Budgie will only get on me when Clyde is on me! When clyde leaves she follows. Please Help!

Hello, I am wondering about toxic plants. Is it dangerous for budgies if their cage is standing close to a toxic plant for example lilies? I know it´s very dangerous if the eat the toxic plants but how is it if they are in the same room that has toxic plants? Also I wonder if it´s dangerous...

Hello Everyone, I have been considering buying a parrot but am having trouble choosing a lot of things. This is my first time buying a parrot and I want to know which one to choose from a Cockatiel, a Budgie and a Lovebird. I want something that easily becomes close to the owner. I have to go to...

My budgie Cooks has given me no end in sight to his picky nature. :p For a few days my budgie stopped eating almost entirely. At first, I was naturally concerned - illness, crop impaction, stress, upset digestion... Even if he showed no other signs of an illness, I scheduled a vet visit...

Decided to try out DIY toys since I had so much stuff lying around. Decided to take inspiration from the holiday crackers you get from the bargain store that pop open and have toys inside. Needless to say he was ripping it apart to get inside before I could tie it tight onto the cage lol...

My parakeet Loki, that I've had for two years, seems to not want to stick to one color. When I got him his nose was turning blue, then it looked kinda purple, then almost brown, then turned blue again. It's been blue for about a year, got him a friend a few months back and now Loki's nose is...

Hello everybody. I have been stressing all month about what to do with my birds on New Year’s Eve and yew years day because my neighbors always like making tons of unnecessary noise and throw a big party every year. This is my first year dealing with this when it comes to birds. My birds normal...

I got my birds made into art! These are vector grapical designs made by an amazing artist. I will be getting them professionly printed and framed for hanging in my room! Pearl and Opal Berry Let me know what you think!

What is your parrot story? why did you decide to get a parrot? How have your bird(s) changed your life? I'll go first. In late 2014, I was on holiday at our beach house. An emaciated white and blue budgie flew down onto our deck, and with plenty of sunflower seeds (its all we had!) and...

My two gorgeous baby show budgies

Hi, I would really appreciate your help, since we don't have avian vet in our city. My little budgie "Benny" is sick. He is 6 months old. 7 days ago diarrhea started, on that day he was given green salad. But since diarrhea started he is off vegetables and fruits, just eating his seeds. Since...

Hi! I am gradually introducing fruits and veggies to my three young birdies’ diets. I feed my aviary birds a balance of veggies, fruits, seeds and the occasional boiled egg/egg food. However, all of these tastes are very new to my 2.5 month old budgies and 4 month old cockatiel. So far I have...

Hi everyone! I am a bird lover with an aviary of 20 budgies and two tame budgies who are strongly bonded with me. After much consideration and research, I have decided to get a cockatiel, and I have found a reputable breeder with a lovely hand-reared 4 month old baby. Firstly, since I am new...

Hi there! I am an experienced budgie owner (I have an outdoor aviary of 20 budgies as well as two hand-reared indoor show budgies who are strongly bonded to me), and have recently started to consider bringing a tame cockatiel into my bird family - however, I am wary of keeping different bird...

9 months ago my little brother and I purchased two parakeets from pet smart (I think?). At first we just let them adjust and get used to their surroundings, like all the websites say to do, but they weren't getting any more used to us. After months of them not being used to us at all, we went to...

Hello! I'm Axel and just got a parakeet about 1.5 months ago. Their name is Doodle and is a blue-ish periwinkle color. They are adjusting well to their new home. (In fact, they're singing and dancing as I type this haha) They have been outside of their cage once so far. I am currently...

I'm a first time bird owner and have noticed that my budgie Doodle (purchased about 1.5 months ago) will try to lunge towards me onto the bars. They will also climb all over the bars to get closer to me. They get mad when I talk to people I know via the computer. I think they want more...

Snowball has taken it upon himself to be jealous enough of Warbeak to finally come and hang out himself. He sees Warbeak on my shoulder eating millet or other treats a lot and yesterday he got so bold as to come jump to the door (but then rethought everything and went back). Today however, it...

Okay so I've been looking at some new toys and stuff for a budgie and was wondering if these coconut cove things are safe for them I saw some things ab the rope not being good if they chew on it and if anyone has it do you like it??

pretty sure shes a girl but she does have blue so idk help plssss :blue2: :whiteblue:

I had a nice wonderful surprise this morning from Snowball. Yesterday too, actually. Yesterday morning he was chirping like crazy to a bird outside. It's the first active chirping I've heard from him (minus his 3 quiet ones on Monday) since I got him on Sunday. That was a great sign. Today...

To those who are curious about the horrifying past of this budgie (Snowball), see my forum post here: Might be longer than expected getting a conure - Parrot Forum - Parrot Owner's Community I attached a photo of him on top of his new cage. I had to rush and get a new one for him today because...

Alright guys. I had a previous forum post about me preparing to get a conure. That is still open for discussion and I will still keep up with it, but something unexpected came up today where I am now ending up with a surprise rescue budgie. My niece came over today and dumped a load on me. She...

Hello, I just got my new budgie Corvo a few days ago. He had a previous owner who never gave him any fruits or veggies. I've been trying to give him more, and he's started eating them finally. It looks like there's alot of water in there with his poo, and I was wondering if that was normal since...

So I've had my male budgie for a while now. He's 2 and his cere changes from light blue/purplish to dark blue. A few weeks ago I took him to the vet for a runny nose and a dark spot that appeared on his cere. The vet treated for the runny nose and the cere was blue again. However, as I put him...

Hi! I have a boy budgie named kirby who is 2 years old. He woke up this morning with a runny nose, which has gone away with the help of a humidifier. However, I noticed that he has developed a tiny brown area on his otherwise blue cere. His droppings this morning were almost all white, then...

Hi! I posted a thread not too long ago about this topic but forgot ton include time important parts. First, I found out that my budgie of two years is actually a boy, not a girl lol. Second, I woke up this morning to find that there had been dried brown discharge on his cere. He is eating...

Hi. So over had my budgie, Libby, for over 2 years now. She's about two and a half years old. Always a healthy bird and never got sick. Vets were always impressed with her health. Today when I uncovered her cage, she had dried up brown discharge on her cere and her droppings were almost all poo...

i am new bird owner. i brought 4 budgies home on 24th march 2017, one white budgie from this group flew away after one month. one yellow budgie out of left three is sleeping a lot since this sunday (means from 14th May)..he is eating and drinking well i think but he sleeping most of time which...

Just wondering why the first chick hatched 2 days early. First egg was laid April 20th around 8-9am, and hatched a half hour ago. Hatch date wasn't supposed to be until Monday-Wednesday. Is this because the ambient temp in my apartment is warm? Certainly surprised me. Should I also expect the...

Hello, I have had my budgie for about 2 weeks now and after I'd say the 6th or 7th day he seems to have become more distanced and not really aggressive, but defensive of when I put my hand into his cage. Before this he was letting me pet him on the stomach and wasn't that worried when I was near...

So I've had him for almost 3 weeks now and I'm trying to get him to trust me. I got him from petsmart, so I know its gonna be hard. Right now he's escaped form his cage and is flying about the room, but the thing is I don't know how to get him back in his cage. He won't let me touch him and he...
