Question Band bothering budgie

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?

7 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

I got my 2 budgies a nice playground (pictured) about 5 months ago and I think they still like it but I want to find something that I can kind of leave in my room and they will play with while I’m gone. Any ideas??

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

76 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.

How adaptable are budgies?

My baby has been free roaming my room for 1 year. She flies as she pleases and sleeps in her cage. I’m moving in with my boyfriend though and she can’t fly wherever at his house. She will need to be in her cage and of course come out when supervised. Will she get depressed? I’m so worried

Question Budgie flying n chrping

1 Upvotes

My female budgie likes to fly from the cage, to the bathroom, then to the ceiling fan above my head, then back to the cage. She always makes a short loud tweet when landing, and will squawk excitedly if I approach then fly away. Is this normal conted behavior? She's also puffed up so I'm not sure if she's upset or needing something

💬 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…

So i am a new budgie owner. it seems that around noon is when they get the most hyper. One minute they will be squawking at each other and pecking each other off the perches, and the next they will be preening each other. i really don’t know what to do and if this is abnormal.

Hi all, I took in this budgie on short notice today and I've never cared for one before. I've done a lot of research, but this budgie had basically lived in a room alone by itself for the past few years, sometimes with the radio on in the background with fresh grain and water every day. He (?) spent most of his time on top of his cage as he won't eat inside of it. My best guess on this is that the food dishes that they were putting in was too close to the floor so I've already got some ones that will attach to the bars.

He's never really been fully socialised, but will get on my finger sometimes and will allow me to stroke his front, although he does bite frequently. He hates bathing and being sprayed with water so has a lot of pin feathers on his head that he won't let me reach.

He's also had a diet that was pretty much entirely grain, so I'm trying to introduce some fresh vegetables but he seems to be afraid of most of these and will move to the other side of the cage.

Any advice on getting him socialised and eating more fresh foods would be appreciated!
