budgie

Hi! I recently bought a parakeet and I was wondering if anyone can guess his age? The pet store explained that he's possibly 6-7 months old or under a year, but he seems young to me. His name is Patchy because his coloring has patches of white~ I couldn't find his iris's but I'm guessing its a...

Hello y'all and thanks in advance. I've been wanting a pet bird for years, and years, and years, and finally felt I was in a place where I could adopt one. I purchased a beautiful blue budgie and got him set up in a lovely cage with everything a bird could desire. He spent the first day...

Hello all! I'm really backed into a corner here and I figured this would be as good a place to ask as any- does anyone have any advice for rehoming a budgie? Particularly in southern california / fontana/san bernardino/la area? I have reached out to any and all parrot rescues, bird...

I had 3 Budgies 1 Green Male(3-4 years Old) 1 White Female(3-4 years old) (Passed Away) 1 Blue Female(7 years old) They used to all be in the same big cage, in the same room. However, earlier of this month: Both females got sick. The White one with a tumor, and the other with a prolapsed...

Spying on the budgies is always a favorite pastime!

Last night my budgie woke up and started to frantically fly around his cage, once the lights were on and I'd sat with him for a little bit he was okay though I'm not sure what exactly caused it. He went back to sleep ok with a dim light and this morning he's acting back to normal, my only...

(It’s my first time posting here so please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong spot) So about a week ago I got my first budgie, I was told he’s a male but that it was a bit hard to tell bc of his age. Before this I was really nervous so I just gathered as much info as I could, I consulted...

I’ve had my budgie for 2.5 years and have never had a problem with molting before. Today as I went to play with her I noticed a medium sized bald spot close to/touching her cere. I have recently converted her to Harrisons Pellets for small birds and she seems to enjoy it just as much as the...

Hello. Can someone help we with a gender of my parrot, please! ?? Thank You!!

He hasn't had a blood feather before and I'm not quite sure if this is one can someone tell me if it is? also if it is how long do they take to go away?

I work at a small family-owned pet store and we breed budgies there. One of our females would not stop laying eggs and because of that, she has had a prolapse. The store didn't want to pay the price for a vet visit and was thinking of having her put down. First, though they offered if any of the...

I adopted two young female budgies about 6 months ago and since then we've made good progress toward taming and such, but they're real home bodies and when they're not in their cage they're on top of it or perched on the drapes behind. I feel like my training is being restricted by my birds'...

Greetings all!! I currently live in SW Michigan, and retired (due to Covid-19 cutbacks) at the winery where I worked for over 20 years. Now, 68, but retirement is not too bad. I worked in the lab as an Assistant Winemaker, and also did purchasing for cellar supplies as well as vineyards...

Every since Dee has hitten "bird puberty" he doesn't like to be touched/rubbed (which is fine) but he has a bad habit of biting you when trying to give kisses etc, he'll be fine and want kisses but then...

Miles loves to pester the budgies. Just look at that little gleam in his eye!

So today I took my poor Kiwis life, and I will never forgive myself for it. Most people wouldn't understand, but I know people on here will understand how much it hurts to loose a family member. I cant stop crying it took everything I had to bury him in the backyard under the apple tree with his...
