parakeet

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...

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...
