So, I've noticed my parakeets both release what looks like a big amount of water alongside their morning poop (it looks like a lot of water at least to me because they're so tiny), and then their droppings go back to normal right after. Is this normal or should I be worried? It happens right before I give them breakfast, which it doesn't take me long, and they immediately get to eating and playing and their droppings go back to normal. I'm just very concerned and am a major overthinker.

I got a haircut yesterday and my birds adjusted to it pretty well, they got a bit scared at first with the change though. Today, when I was interacting with them, they jumped onto my head and began to chew on my hair and explore my hair, but yesterday I had a tiny bit of spray gel in my hair I hadn't washed out and now I'm worried they could've ingested it? It was a bit of curl gel, barely any was applied but now I'm really paranoid about my birds since I planned to shower later today but they already got into my hair. I'm definitely going to monitor them, but I just wanted to know if anyone had a parakeet chew on their hair after they left gel or spray in for a day and if their parakeet was fine. I'm just really concerned and worried for my babies.

So, for context, my male budgie has never been aggressive before until recently, and summer is starting to come around. My birds have 12 hours of darkness every night, have a mostly pellet diet (I still need to introduce vegetables), and have acted this way before. I have one male and one female. My female acts fine, I haven't seen her show any hormonal behavior. My male budgie, on the other hand, is another story.

He has gotten territorial and a bit aggressive, he has been regurgitating food on the daily to my female budgie, he has been tapping his beak on many different surfaces (mainly his cage and perches), and he has been squawking and screeching more than usual. I did some research and apparently these are hormonal behaviors. I don't have a separate cage to separate them, I might limit the amount of seeds I give them even more to see if that brings it down, but I really need help because I do NOT want babies and I got bit this morning when trying to get a toy out of their cage so I could clean it😭🙏

Posted this in the budgies subreddit, also going to post this here. Every morning I try and handfeed my babies some seeds before I give them pellets and then sprinkle in the rest of their seeds closer to the afternoon and they're normally very sweet. My female budgie will nibble on my hand and explore which is super cute. Today though, my male budgie didn't just nibble on my hand, he bit down HARD. I didn't scare him off my hand, I just managed to place him back on one of his perches and take the seeds away, and he seemed to get agitated at that? He normally never bites and is never mean to me, so I'm not quite sure what caused this change. Does anyone know what might make a budgie suddenly bite during hand feeding?

I came here a while ago about my budgies eye, took him to the vet, and the vet said he was just molting. His eye started to look better, but then it started getting worse again. He is still playful, loving, and as interactive as ever, and I've been giving them access to their bath almost daily since my female parakeet is starting to molt. I really am unsure what to do, I want to try and help him in any way I can but he still won't let me hold him, but he will hop on my hand for seeds. Has this happened to anyone when their bird has gone through a rough molt? I can't even carry him to the bathroom after running a hot shower in hopes that steam could help because he will not let me grab him

I know I just posted here but now I just have to share this. I find this super cute because my boy is the one who is normally vocal, but whenever I listen to Hamilton and specifically Burr, Angelica, or Eliza are singing, my bird Hyacinth gets REALLY vocal. Like, little happy chirps and gets really playful. I am not sure if this means she likes it but it seems to somehow get her vocal meanwhile any other music I listen to does not. Has this happened to anyone else? Lol

My birds need a vet visit, today they're supposed to go since that's when my father agreed to take me. I tried the lights off method, I tried treats in the carrier, nothing is working and I do not know what to do. All that happens is they fly around and get stressed and I'm really worried that I'll stress them out to much. I covered my hand with a towel and blanket as well and it hasn't worked. They're untamed as the title suggests and the last thing I want is to stress them out more and I have work later so I really don't have much time. Please help.
