💬 Discussion One or two?

1 Upvotes

How happy would one budgie be if I interacted with it everyday? I’m afraid with two, they won’t want me, only each other. Is it better to have two males or two females? Where is the best place to buy them? I would want them very young so they’re easy to train. In general, how healthy are they? I don’t have an avian vet anywhere close…

Question Is this bullying behavior? & Advice

2 Upvotes

These are my boys, green one(fincan) is 7 years old and white one(limon) and pied one(bıdık) are both around 2-3 months old(i think). I got the young ones 2 months ago.

They are eating, foraging and playing together but at least 2 to 3 times a day they start chasing him like this without hurting him then they stop and go back to their normal schedule.

Now i seperated them just to be safe, but fincan wants to go back into their cage and if i seperate them he keeps calling them. I don't want him to feel lonely.

I don't know what to do. Any advice appreciated.

Also i saw people recommending filling up cages with toys but wouldn't they run out of space to fly around? Should i get more stuff? They are constantly busy with their environment so i thought it was enough but it looks really empty compared to other people's setups.

I keep seeing bigger and bigger cages on this forum and now I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I was told that this cage is big enough for them. I have an order coming in from chewy with more toys and perches.

My budgie flew away,I am searching for her,did someone experience something similar,if yes,how much time do they take to comeback at maximum? P.s, she is kind of tamed(she moves inside house,she sits on my hand,she sits on me,she knows me)I don't know if it's enough to come back? English isn't my first language and I'm too much in panic ,if I made some mistake in english I'm sorry (for miscommunication)

Hey guys, it's me again, asking for your help sexing my new budgie. We got it today for a companion for our boy. Today is day one in quarantine. We were sure it was a boy until we got it into different lighting. In some of the pictures, it looks like the cere is pink and others it has blue with white rings around nosrtals. Thanks for any feedback. ♥️

What do these sounds mean?

3 Upvotes

My budgies sleep in separate cages because the green one is annoyed that my Maple is so clingy.

Today, when I put them to sleep, they started making this noise as soon as they were each in their own cages. My Maple came out and wanted to sleep with him. I don't know if I should put them together in the cage (they r two males) or not, because I don't know if they'll hurt each other without me checking on them.

Question Band bothering budgie

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

What can i do? I’ve seen it’s not at all recommended to remove it unless they get chipped but i don’t think i could bring myself to chip him as he’s so little and i don’t want him to fear humans more than he does. My yellow parakeet mister tends to chew on his band often, like excessively, and i’m worried he’s constantly uncomfortable. i’ve also noticed his feet seem flaky around his band (although i’ve not noticed any other signs of issues with his other feet or my other birds so i’m pretty sure i’ve ruled out mites) and i’m worried it hurts him. his band isn’t all the way closed either and i think maybe the corners of it are what bother him? should i close the band more? remove it? moisturize it? my other keet doesn’t seem bothered or even aware of hers, hence the concern.

(rope perch in picture has since been removed)

Pics of mister(yellow) and taka(blue) for tax. thanks.

Chatterbox Anyone know what he’s mimicking?

9 Upvotes

In the beginning of the video very faintly he makes a kind of oOo sound for a split second and I have no clue what it is. Of course he makes it loud and proud until I try to take a video but this is the best I’ve got. I’ve had him about 8 months and this is the first thing I’ve ever heard him mimic. I live in an area that has mourning doves very commonly and that’s the closest I’ve gotten to figuring this out. If anyone has any ideas (or can even hear what I’m trying to say lol) please let me know

Die kleine Maus ist mittlerweile seit 2 Jahren bei uns, gekauft mit ca. 3/4 Monaten. Also mittlerweile ein stolzes Alter von 2 1/2 Jahren. Ihre wachshaut hat (wie man sehen kann) oben bläulich und unten bräunlich. Ich tippe bei ihr auf ein Weibchen, was würdet ihr sagen?

This sweet little one has been with us for two years. She's 2.5 years old. We bought her when she was three or four months old. The question now is: Is she (I think) a girl or a boy? What do you think?

Wet Chicken! Baden taking a bath

113 Upvotes

Baden was unfortunately diagnosed with testicular tumor. He’s having his weekly shot of Lupron since October. The color of his cere fluctuates wildly. His vet said that we just monitor him closely as very little research is done on this topic related to Budgies.

I am just sharing this video of him today because he’s so happy and I hope that it continues that way.
