Hi everyone, this is probably a very popular question but I wanted to gain some opinions from others.
I currently have a 1 year old budgie (give or take) that was previously owned by an acquaintance. He claims that he got her when she was young and used to have a very close bond with her up...

My name is Jenn! My (common-law) hubs and I own and run a bicycle repair shop. Last year, a blue budgie appeared at our wild bird feeder. We watched over him for two weeks while looking for someone who lost a bird, but then, in the second heat wave, we noticed that she was dying. So we brought...
I recently started feeding my budgies rice in an effort to wean them off of seeds and it's working great. They love rice!
We buy organic brown rice from a rice farmer, and it's the best rice money can buy.
Rice has a lot of carbs, though, so how much should I be feeding them?
I've started...
A couple weeks ago I got a budgie from a pet store to be friends with my other budgie, Elvis. They got along great, but she's clipped and he's flighted.
I know people clip their budgie's wings to keep them safe from household dangers, but Olive can't fly very well because of it and the first...
I have a five/six month old male budgie. He's lived with us for over a month. The first week, he got on my index finger once, then hopped off. Since then, no way! He ate some millet out of my hand (standing on my open palm) one time, and now, he won't come near my hand. I feed him millet...
I adopted 2 budgies a couple days ago, and I had been thinking about it for about a month (after my previous budgie passed away). I thought I was ready for the commitment, but I don’t think I am. I want to bring them back to the shelter I got them from, (The ARL, they have a 30 day refund...
Hello! I need some advice on what to do with a family member and her budgies. She recently moved into our home with 3 budgies that she got from a neighbor (2 males, 1 female, about 5 y/o now). Their cage is on the smaller end (2' L x 3' H x 2' W), but they were never socialized when they were...
Hey, I'm looking for some naturally molted feathers from these specific mutations of birds for a crafting project to add some feathers to a trinket jar. Wondering if anyone would be willing to provide some?:

Hi, I am sorry in advance for my english, I'm from Czech Republic.
Few days ago, I gave my budgies (Loki and Aria, both of them are older than 1 year) a nesting box, 'cause they are often kissing, Loki feeding Aria (and other things I don't know how to say in english) and I wanted to try to...
I am new on the forum! I have two budgies. Here's is some more information about them:
Paimon: Paimon is a male parakeet. He is a light gray. I got him on May 12, 2021, from Petsmart (i know, I know). He is so sweet and loves to press his beak to my mouth. He flicks his wings at me while doing...
Hello guys; I have 2 budgies. Enzo who was believed to be a male when purchased but im now 90% sure is female and Lola. I’ve had them both for around 4 months, Lola is a lot older than Enzo tho. I had them together but Enzo was being very territorial over almost everything in the cage so have...

Their names are, Riki, Kiwi, Pitie, Barry, Jade, Violet, Levi, Cheeky, Bubbles and...
Hello! A few of my budgies are recovering from bacterial infections and to prevent future issues and maybe help speed recovery, I was thinking of moving them to another room for a few days, spraying the bird room (where they spend most of their time in) with disinfectant and letting it air out...
Hello Community -
I am a relatively new parakeet owner, although I did have a parakeet as a little girl.
My Story in brief - to prevent myself from adopting a new puppy (COVID Crazy) I adopted a couple of keets from my local MSPCA. They were beautiful birds - but older so it was a challenge...

I have one female budgie about 6-7 months old, she is from a pet shop and pretty scared. I sat by her cage 24/7 first 5 weeks she lived with me and she got pretty comfortable with me being around. She will eat millet from my...
Hi there!
I just brought home 2 sweet English budgies 4 days ago. They're a little over a month old and they were hand-fed and tamed by a nice breeder. He advised taking them out for 15 minutes every day right away, and he thought they would be cooperative.
But they aren't! They're very bonded...
Hello there,
I've bought a cockatiel about 2 months ago and her introduction is going great with my budgies in the living room. Her cage ha been situated in the bedroom during the quarantine and Coco (my male budgie) is absolutely in love with Zoe (the cockatiel). Unfortunately this means he...
Hi everyone! I brought home a new budgie 4 days ago,,, today he was very active--eating and flying around his cage. He started doing flips/somersaults into the corner of his cage near his food bowl and then sat on the floor of his cage sleeping with his feathers puffed up. Just wanted to ask if...
I have had this budgie since April of 2018, and his or her cere has never changed color. I figured that it's a she, but I wanted an expert's help, so I came here! I found it concerning her cere has never really changed color considering i've had her for almost two years. If someone could help...
I brought home a pair of budgies a month ago. I don't know their ages. They have slowly got used to new home and environment. They initially used to fight but from 7 days before they have started taking interest in each other and I have seen them mate thrice these days. Male is always trying to...
Hunny Sunny Munny Bunny and Roger are adjusting well to their new room. I gave them my extra bedroom and set everything up for the to be free in there. My friend had said I shouldn't let them out before hand taming them, but I couldn't do that to them. They love flying around!
They are about a...
I came home from work and one of my budgies had opened the latch on the metal coiled mullet holder and gotten stuck inside. He was completely smooshed into the bottom, stuck upside down. And couldn’t move at all. He must have been stuck for a while bc he wasn’t struggling and couldn’t even budge...
Hi,
I love my budgies, they're awesome. they have a really unique personality, although it's not really the personality that i've been looking for in a bird.
i got 2 birds,
Coco.
Coco is really nice, but can sometimes be a bit too much for my other bird, Witje. He can try to climb...
Edit: Everyone is assuming that I am trying to give my budgerigars 100% fruits and veggies. That is not and never will be the case. I am trying to get them to CONSUME fruits and veggies because seed alone can be incredibly unhealthy if consumed constantly- alone.
Hi everyone!
Recently I have...
I chatted with a small bird breeder yesterday who used to hand-raise and handfeed Budgies. She hasn't bred them in awhile, but she did send me some links to articles she wrote about Budgies.
I have Lovebirds, but recently I have taken in the two Budgies my friend inherited from someone else. I...
I took in a parakeet couple several months ago and immediately put them in separate (yet still touching) cages. The female laid eggs and I had to put them back together. I'm having a hard time getting her to stop laying eggs but I'm having a worse time getting the babies to survive. She is a...
Hi Everyone,

Honestly I'm a new budgie owner... bought 3 beautiful birds, 2 for my parents and 1 for me. (Got it for my parents as they are retired and were fighting everyday, but now good news, they fight way less as they are caring for the birds like babies)
I brought home 1 to...
