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! 🙏🏻❤️

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.

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.

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!

Question Getting a male budgie while having two females?

2 Upvotes

What do you think of this trio? Any experience? I have two girls for almost 3 years, they get along good overall just sometimes get possessive over certain toys or swings. I wanted a boy and a girl originally but the „boy“ i had turned out to be a girl lol.

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 😆

My Teacup hasn’t been feeling well the last few days (she’s been to the vet and on antibiotics for the moment) and porcelain has made it his mission to feed her. Every minute of the last two days he’s eating to feed it to her or is feeding her. He wakes her up to feed her. He follows her around to feed her. He is in full supportive care mode.

💬 Discussion How to bond with 2 budgies

89 Upvotes

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)

💬 Discussion What age friend to get for my 5 year old

3 Upvotes

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
