parakeet

I noticed this morning that one of my budgies is pooping white and he's pooping more often than usual. I cleaned the cage and I've been watching him all day. He's been acting normal (singing, preening, eating, drinking, and playing). I've been observing his poop color throughout the day and...

I?ve noticed a few days ago that one of my parakeets?s vent is blocked by parakeet poop possibly. I would?ve take him to the vet at first opportunity, but since I?m a minor and my mom didn?t want to take him I couldn?t really do anything except hope it becomes better. However, it seems as if...

Hi everyone, a friend of a friend that lives in India has a bunch of parakeets they keep in a cage outside. They sent me these pictures of one of their parakeets with these huge calcified-looking growths on their feet and I?ve searched the Internet for what it could be but I can?t find anything...

I've had my budgie, Afina, for about six months now. She came from a pet store (I know, I know, it's not something I'm proud of). I'm not sure about her age. After adopting her, the pet store recommended a specific brand of food (ZuPreem Fruit Blend) as it's what they fed the birds in store...

My budgies left wing has all her primary feathers, while her left has none. She lost them all from molting, and seems healthy, I'm just worried cuz now she cant fly

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 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...

Hello. Sorry for making a thread, but I would really like some help regarding my friend's parakeet that i was made to watch over the next two weeks or so. Im worried that it might not be getting the best care because of the last one they owned, and i want to do anything that could help while its...

I have a new budgie and am curious what everyones opinions are on the best way to hand train them. Ive had him for about 5 days so far and its understandable that he's still afraid of me. When should I start trying to hand train? How should I go about it? Whats worked best for you guys?

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...

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...

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...

Hi there, I have a 4 year old female parakeet. This is my first female, I've always had males before this. No matter how much attention I give her she is not happy the second I stop playing with her and that will continue on until I'm back giving her attention. I could be two feet away doing a...

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?

Hello! Several months ago I posted on here about adopting a budgie, Selene, after she'd been dumped by a previous owner. In the time since then she's started to blossom, moving out from one spot in a corner to play with her toys more and hop around. She's also not freaking out and zooming...

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...

do u guys think its a good idea? my 2, snowy (almost 2 year old female) and daisy (2 year old male) see bonded and daisy always sings near snowy and feeds her. they don't go anywhere without eachother i have 0 experience breeding budgies so i have these questions: - is it a good idea? are the...

When we got the new parakeet we had to redecorate the cage, the old one flew out so while it was out we let the new parakeet in. I’m worried because my bird seems confused, she goes on the cage floor and looks for food instead of going to the food bowls (they’re very big and white) i don’t know...

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...

My Parakeets are named Sunny and Misty and they seem to be ready to lay eggs. They have been mating and preparing the nest for a few days now but the last couple of days Sunny (the female) started acting very creepy. A couple of times every day she leans forward, sings weakly, her behind opens...

my bird has a small cut on his foot was bitten by the other parakeet. There is no bleeding but its a little red with a little skin. I have read that some people used Neosporin but some say it's ok for parakeets and some say it's bad for them. I'm not sure what to do, any suggestions or help...

Hi everyone! My name is Maggie and I’m bird mom to an 8 month old violet English Budgie named Morty and a 3 month old Rosy Fronted Conure named Loki! I’m also mom to a wonderful 9 year old daughter named Lily, who is Morty’s bff! We brought Loki home today and he or she (we find out in a few...

Hi all! A bit of backstory... I got my first parakeet, Rio, over three years ago. It was just him and me, and I had taught him how to come out of the cage and step up. Fast forward a year and a half and I got another parakeet, Luna. The two immediately bonded, and Rio "forgot" his...

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I’m coming here pretty much as a last resort. I bought a new Indian Ringneck parakeet around May time of this year and it was just born 6 months prior to that, so a baby. And I have had a really hard time to tame him. At the start we kept him in his cage...

:greenyellow: I am devastated. All I wanted to do was provide a great home for my budgie and some companionship but I'm afraid my budgie may be unwell. As some of you may know, I've came here before with concerns about Goose's health, as I found her laying down on the bottom of her cage...

Hello! I bought 2 months ago red-fronted parakeet (I don’t know if it’s correct in English, the Latin name: Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae) called Henry. But I made a mistake and I didn’t know a lot about parrots then so I trusted the shop owner of the pet shop. He said that the bird is very young...

Hi everyone, I'm a first time bird owner and have had my linnie, Simon, for a month now. I'm at the point where I can put my hand in the cage and he isn't very scared of my anymore so I've started trying to feed him from my hand. My problem is: I put food in the palm of my hand and he'll...

Hi, I just discovered my budgie bleeding from his wing, after checking him for around 10 minutes I couldn’t find a blood feather and so I just put a lot of corn starch on it to try stop the bleeding. I’ve put him back in his cage and am keeping an eye on him. He’s acting normal but keeps...

Recently I bought my parakeet toys designed to hook outside of her cage and perch on. I hooked her cage open so she would be able to get to them easy. However, I didn't know where to start in helping her realize she can come in and out however she wants as she pleases. I started with getting her...

My boyfriend and I take care of this little parakeet. At first, he was a little skittish but then warmed up to me and let me give him scratches. He then started to grow a bunch of pin feathers around his neck and head and wings. He didn't want to be touched for awhile, and I thought this was...

Hi! I really need help, recently my budgie hasn't been well. I'm trying everything, he's usually really active and loves to chirp a lot, he's still very active and eats. I don't have a vet close to me at all, its hours and hours away. He has always been healthy until now, this is the first time...

I don't know what to think as I type this. I am heartbroken. My sweet budgie Leo died tonight--he was only 2 years and 7 months old. The worst part is that it was my fault. My sleep schedule has been horribly messed up, so lately, I would stay up all night. Even if I covered his cage, Leo would...

My parakeet, Doodle, recently has been biting at his leg band. He has broken it open a little bit, and it seems fairly close to coming off. I first noticed this today. It does not seem too tight around his leg, so I am unsure of why this behavior started. Any advice/tips on what to do or...

Hello everyone, as you can see I have a semi sick budgie on my hands. She is one of my adoption birds and I do adore her but I haven’t been seeing a positive change in her. So when I took her in, I noticed that her feathers were pretty bad. They were growing in odd ways and she seemed a little...

I just got home from school and I noticed something atypical on one of my budgies, Yin’s beak. He/she (don’t know the gender yet) doesn’t appear to be sick, I’ve only just gotten the both of them yesterday. I need advice on what to do because I can’t call the vet because my mom says they’re fine...

Hi all! This is my first bird, so apologies if I ask dumb questions, I'm still learning. I purchased my parakeet 10 days ago and he seems to have adjusted fairly well so far, he's drinking and eating regularly and doesn't appear to be sick. I've observed him fluffed out and relaxed multiple...

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone had experience with having to leave their parakeets behind for vacation matters. I am currently a college student, and I plan from moving from where I live now, Hawai'i, to Oregon to transfer into a zoology degree. I also have 2 parakeets, their names are...

Hi! I have one of the cutest parakeets I have ever seen. His name is Bob. He used to be my grandma's but she no longer could keep him because the cat knocked down the cage and she was worried he may get hurt. Bob loves to sing and hop from one perch to the next. The only issue I have with him is...
