budgie

I'm going to get back into breeding budgies for the purpose of breeding healthy, happy, tamed and social budgies for people who don't want scared pet store birds with an unknown origin. This would require me to spend time with the baby birds as much as possible when they're young. Question...

Hey guys, gals and non-binary pals! If you need any help sexing your cockatiel or budgie, I can help! :D

Hi, I was hoping for some help or some advice as I cannot get any help from local vets, even avian vets are either far too far away to take her or never have appointments even for emergencies. I have a 7 year old budgie named Lemon. She had never laid eggs before but her sister had laid...

today I found that one of my budgies had passed she was lying on the bottom of the cage so not sure what happened My question is could my 3 other budgies be sick and could it have somehow passed from my chickens to my budgies

I know this is a chicken forum but if someone here finds this post helpful, I'll be more than happy! Soooo, you wanna breed budgies? You're in the rrright place! So, lets start with, why? Maybe you just bought them and want some eggs real fast? I know that feeling, I was like that too. But you...

I have a albino budgie and I don’t know if it’s a male or a female

I recently got a little budgie that I named JoJo (after Jonathan Joestar). I. LOVE. HIM. He is the sweetest little thing! He is a little gentlebird.

Today my male Budgie flew out of his cage and downstairs. Every so often he'll do this just to explore downstairs and then makes his way back upstairs. But when he flew down today and I wen to help him back upstairs he was acting really weird. He's not completely trained but he'll hop onto my...

Piper has a tendency to kick half of the food out of the cup and then proceed to nap in it. He has done this since I first got him (when he was 3 months old- he is now closing in on 4 months). He is not sick; he is active and he eats well. I have done a bit of reading but was wondering what...

My budgies have mirrors and bells and beads. They don't use their swing. I built them a little playhouse out of cardboard and they seem to enjoy it. A simple stick with a string or ribbon tied to it entertains then for long periods of time. They are starting to get more playful- I have a bit of...

I have been taking my budgies out of their cage for 15 to 20 minutes, two to three times a day. I haven't had them long, but they are now finger trained and seem adjusted to the routine. How must time should they spend out of their cage? (Mine are still very young. Button eyes and baby bars.)...

I have a budgie (Apollo) who I've had for about 6 months and he is the most shy bird I have ever known. My birds are free to fly around my room (don't worry its nice and safe for them) but Apollo very very rarely leaves his cage even when his buddy Tiki does. Tiki is the most playful energetic...

I know that it is a sign of trust for a budgie to eat from your hand. Mine are not yet comfortable with being hand-fed. They will not eat food that I am holding. But if I put the food down there is no hesitation for them to approach and eat. They step up on my hand without food or millet- and...

Anyone well versed with budgie/parakeet mutations and varieties? I've done some reading, looked at charts/pictures, and I've watched informative videos. Still, I'd like some info and opinions on my new girl (or boy?) Can anyone identify my bird's variety? [As for gender, everyone has told me...

I just got a little budgie and was wondering about the sex. Male or female? I know you genuinely judge by the color of the cere. But I'm new to this! Is my deadly Piper a boy or girl? I was told he/she is around 4 months and has not had a first molt yet (still had little button eyes and barring...

I have two baby budgies (12 weeks old), but last night I noticed one of them had a twisted leg. His right leg is bent out to the side. It wasn't like that before so it seems to be some sort of injury. He is acting normal and he doesn't seem to be in pain, but he is avoiding putting weight on it...

I just bought a new female button quail and since she has been in the aviary my female bidgie has been chasing her and and jumping on top of her. My female button quail has also been chasing the male since i got her. I dont know if this is aggressive behaviour, i am actually quite new to this.

I've been doing a lot of research on budgies in anticipation of possibly getting one. I've experience with conures, cockatoos and cockatiels, and I'm stuck on two issues. Where best to get one, as there are only larger pet stores in my area and no breeders nearby that I can find online, and...

I have an all-white female budgie named Snowy who has been very sick for about two weeks now. I realise this forum is for chickens but I was hoping many of you may have more experience with how to treat your birds wholistically and be of some help. We took her to the vet as soon as we noticed...
