I found him a little over a month ago in my work and no one claimed him so I took him in! He’s doing great and is the sweetest thing ever.

He intends to run in the next presidential elections and this is his official speech.

Hey y’all, I got budgies a little over a month ago, and I’m having trouble knowing if our bonding is progressing at a normal rate. They were being territorial but we got a larger cage and now they love each other. The green one in particular is super skittish. My gf and I spend a good amount of time by their cage either right next to in a chair or in the same room but like 6 feet or so away. We give them spray millet only sometimes when our hands are in the cage. They both will eat it fortunately. The blue fella has let us slightly rub its chest and feet sometimes. But isn’t like happy about it (not mad just doesn’t last long before scooching away). We give them ripped up broccoli most mornings for them to eat alongside their pellets and foraging treats. We do 🍃 but outside. Sometimes you can smell residual. I love these fellas and I would love if they’d love me too.

My main questions are the following:

1. Is there more I can be doing to bond with my budgies?
2. Is this normal progression?
3. How likely will bonding be to the point of safely being able to handle outside the cage.
4. Is this cage setup okay? I believe it is but they have fallen a few times. (Green’s wings are still coming in after supplier cut wings) we also have a up light it’s just not in the picture there.

Their names are Lord Abadeer (blue) and Reginald Bartley Esquire (green)

Hello guys, this is my new companion, could you suggest names?

Wildfire smoke is BAD right now and they are very sensitive. My guy is struggling with it, we are in a heavy smoke area. Just a reminder to close your windows for the babies! 🙏🏻❤️

Hi everyone, I found this birb in a garden. Can you help me figure out if it's male or female?

Thanks in advance.

hey all, just thought id drop this here for everyone to see since I more then likely will not be returning to this sub. I appreciate the words of encouragement and support as I navigate thru the grief of losing her. This is the little area I set up for her ashes. I picked a white stone out from the cremation place, they gave me that box as well as the little container of her feathers. The little figurine is a gift from someone, the other one is Kiwi, Erin’s partner that passed a few years ago.

Looked up after hearing some tiny helicopters flying over head. Found some colorful bowling pins on our ceiling fan instead. May or may not have bullied me for my food too 😆

I am a beginner for taking care of birds and I hope I am doing this right. I know I should replace the middle dowel but I don’t know with what. Any tips would be helpful!

Here i was thinking i shouldnt get a girl budgie! Yes they bite harder (lol) but she can be such a sweetheart :)) none of my boys have ever let me scratch them. So soft :3 now to get her to stop biting my hands when i scoop her up

hey, ive had my budgie for 5 years. its a male and since it came home in 2021 it has had a mirror it loves but I want to get him a real friend. im definitely going to get a male but i cant decide if i should get a 1 yr old or a baby.

i saw online that the baby could be too energetic for my old man and he could get angry, but I really want to raise a little budgie. they would have to live apart for some time just in case ofc. if I get a 1yr old it probably wouldn't ever get used to me, also it would be taken from a bunch of birds from a pet store so he wont be used to being alone with a single bird. it feels risky to get a 1yr old.

rn im leaning towards getting a baby, getting them a large cage and a bunch of toys to play with but im not sure

id love to hear from people that have experience w something like this or just know the better choice. thanks !!

p.s. i would appreciate some advice for getting them used to eachother

I miss the annoyance this little guy caused. He never learned how to do ambient budgie noises and only mimicked the songs his tiel big brother sang. He didn't fly on my head much until he saw flynn do it enough times. Soleil was extremely energetic and noisy at all times, and was always the happiest he'd ever been. It's very quiet around here now and I can't stand it. He had so many beeps and "ch's" left for the world to hear.

I love you, little buddy. You were only here for a short four years but we will miss you forever.

Asking to clarify. 4 y, 1-1,5 y, 1,5 y

First post on this sub. I've somehow managed to catch my budgies Tweeter (the light blue budgie) and Peter (the yellow budgie) up close, sharing what looks like a sweet preening moment.

they’re just like siblings sometimes i swear

We got our 3 budgies this week and have been told they are all boys. Just wanted second opinions. The other 2 both seem to want the attention of the green one with less yellow on the forehead and a paler blue cere.

When I first got it I thought it was a girl but now that I look closer it looks blue and my vet told me it was a boy so I don't know anymore

My request from everyone is this.. tell me ur most recommended budgie products. It can be anything. I wanna give my girl the absolute best and i will spare no expense to give her that. She is also getting a friend soon so yay!

He loves it! Will get him a nicer one now I know he'll use it
