I severely want to get a Budgie, but need to be practical about how things in my house get done and whether it'd be safe for a budgie. I'm just going to list a handful of stuff that I'm thinking could disqualify me for ownership. I'm not looking for alternatives or solutions, please don't feel...
About 3-4 hours ago we had a cooking accident where plastic tongs were left on a burner and they started smoking and melted. They weren’t burning for long but the whole house smelled like it. Now it smells significantly less than earlier and can only be smelled when you first enter the house. I...
This is Kiwi. I got him a little over a month ago. I think he is less than 4 months or maybe 6. I assume he is young from the full black eyes and bars on his head to his cere.
His behavior is ordinary : chirps and sings. flaps his wings in excitement and play/exercise and preens regularly...

Hi everyone, this is Tai, 25 yrs old, a parakeet owner and lover. I am willing to offer free bird hosting and sitting to bird owners who need to travel or not be at home for a few days:-)
The reason why I can do this is that I'm crazy about birds and really want to have one. But because I'm a...

Hello, my birdie has been loosing feathers this week and now started feeling bad. She crosses her wings in a strange manner, is exhausted, moves strangely and is shaking. Most of the time she is sitting in strange places or on me when outside the cage, when in cage she goes down to the bottom...
Hello everyone, there are my parakeet couples, I call them Sparrow Magpie.
For a long time, I just kept them in a cage. But recently, I just think about releasing them to fly at home, but I don't know if they will be easily injured outside her cage, such as bruises, or accidentally eating...
Hi, I’m a bit of a new bird owner, I only got my parakeet six months ago, Her name is Adaline and she isnt yet 1, I’m not sure how old she is exactly but she was very young when I got her. I’m getting a bit concerned about her recent behavior because she has always been very friendly and open to...
Recently our keet, Selene, had a vet appointment for a check up and a nail trim (clean bill of health). She seems like a pretty nervous bird in general-- she isn't tame and I've only just recently gotten her to start eating millet off a stalk I'm holding-- but after her appointment she's been...
Hello Parrot Forums! My girlfriend and I are first time bird owners who have recently adopted a little blue parakeet, Selene, who needed a permanent home. Unfortunately, she has had a bit of a difficult life before coming to live with us-- she was dumped by her first owner when they moved and...
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...
She eats normally, temperatures haven't ranged in my home, and she even leaves her cage to explore and play. It's starting to worry me however that she seems to have her days like this more and more often..tail seems to be shaking, and her breathing might seem rapid. I cant quite figure out this...
Hi, My name is Lina and I’m so glad to be in such great company. Thank you in advance for any advice on this situation. I have been searching for any guidance and cannot find anything on this symptoms. We brought home two beautiful parakeets, Mac & cheese, and they were doing extremely well...
Hi everyone,
I just received a new parakeet as a gift all of a sudden(without my permission). And now I’m currently freaking out that I may be improperly caring for him. I really need to know if the cage posted below will be appropriate for him. I was also wondering if anyone can give me tips...
