  1. Budgie Breeding
    So I have a female parakeet who has been mating with one of the other males for a while, and now she's laid 2-3 eggs and abandoned them (in random locations like her food box and under the newspapers). The mates are a couple of years old and she has a history of laying. She doesn't seem to like...
  2. Budgie Breeding
    I have a female parakeet who mated with her companion and laid 5 eggs on top of the microwave (she's lied on them for about a week now) but since things were getting too messy we decided to relocate her nest to another cage and block the passage to the microwave (we did this for 2-3 days) but...
  3. Your Budgie's Health
    I was hoping to not have to deal with an ill bird so soon as I'm new to their care but despite my fastidious cleaning of cage surfaces and attentive removal of old food/any bacteria sources like poop, Matisse has become sickly. We have contacted 2 avian vets so far today alone and left messages...
  4. Follow-up Center
    Hello, I have three beloved budgies who are all currently unwell, displaying symptoms such as sneezing, runny stools, and regurgitation. However, the regurgitation seems abnormal as I do not hear any crunching sounds as I normally would with seeds and pellets and they shake their heads to the...
  5. General Budgie Talk
    Hey hey, Iam new here. I would absolutely love to get a pair of birds, and I have done tons and tons of research on their well-being, trust me. But one thing Iam still not sure about are cats. I own a cat, and I love him with everything I have, but I would love birds too. Just wandering if it's...

  7. Housing for Budgies
    Hello all, I was cleaning my budgies cage today and noticed rust around the bottom near the tray/grill that holds the cage liners. I immediately went online and purchased a new cage for her, but it wont arrive for a few days. Im unsure of what to do in the mean time. I have removed a good...
  8. Diseases and Illnesses
    Hi all, I took my budgie to an Avian Vet about a week ago because she had been very lethargic. Shes always been very tired and lazy and so i was worried and took her in. She seemed a lot better the day we took her in. The vet told me nothing was wrong other than she was a little underweight (odd...
  9. General Budgie Talk
    Hi all, When i was around 13-14 i got two parakeets for my birthday. In hindsight, no child this age should be given such a complex and unique companion that can live for so long considering college and life changes. However, i cannot change the past. Chip sadly died a while ago, my parents were...
  10. Budgie Breeding
    A few days ago, I seperated my blue chick Mia with weak legs (now fully healed) because the mother bullied her. She bullied her so much that I had no choice but to seperate the 6 week old chick. The mother would also not let near the food source until all others including herself would not fill...
  11. Your Budgie's Health
    Hello, So I adopted a female budgie with chicks. The nest was always cared for and it was cleaned almost every day until the female budgie suddenly decided to clean the nest herself and ever since then, I never had to worry about chick droppings inside the nest. There is one thing I did care of...
  12. Diseases and Illnesses
    Hello, I made a post where I attached some photos of my budgies. I was told to visit an avian vet. Although I didn't have any avian vets near me, I did visit the normal vet. They advised be to put this medicine, Ivermite, in their water after leaving them thirsty for a few hours. My vet said...
  13. General Budgie Talk
    I have a 5 year old male budgie named Indigo. He's not hand tamed (although he will let me put my hand near him, but moves away if I try to touch him) I used to have another budgie who lived with Indigo, but he passed away around a year ago. From then on Indigo has been on his own. I considered...
  14. Diseases and Illnesses
    I noticed my budgies tail was bobbing so i immediately separated him from my others and then monitored him and saw he was sneezing more than normal and sometimes it sounded like he was congested when he breathed. i set up a humidifier for him and ran a hot shower for a bit to help clear out his...
  15. Diseases and Illnesses
    Hey guys,it's been a long depressing, and at times infuriating whirlwind of trying to get vet help for my budgies. I've finally found a vet clinic who seem advanced (as can be on this island) and willing enough to help me figure out what's going on with them. They are general vets,but have been...
  16. General Budgie Talk
    So ive never personally had a budgie myself but many of my friends have and I’ve spent a good amount of time around them and I’ve been considering for a while and now decided I want to get some. I have school and I’m gone usually from 7:30am till 3:30 and some nights I have play practice from...
