Hi,
I've lost my Budgie named Kiwi at Jefferson Avenue near Arthur E Wright Community School. Please help me find her she has a yellow head and a green stomach she is very friendly and cute, I miss her a lot, she means the whole world to me. She was last seen August. 19, 2026.
How does the set up look, Anything I should add or remove? I just have them a little box house I don’t know if I need to add any straw in there for them.
First post on redit and wanted to see how it feels to get some guidance here ahahah.
Thank!
Can I have some opinions on mirrors and entertainment.
Are they 100% bad, just bad in the cage, or just bad if the budgies are flockless? Does this differ between male and female?
I have two male and two female budgies.
Edit:
I’ve read that it can send their hormones out of wack. I wont be allowing any baby birds to hatch but im wondering if out if wack hormones affect lifespans and quality of life.
I got to pick up my adopted parakeet today since I got her new enclosure earlier then expected. I named her Cash and she is very cute but she is scared of me so I will slowly work on that so she can trust me one day. I included the picture of her old enclosure from the rescue and her new one at my house.
Can someone out there please help me?
For the last week, I've noticed what looks like a pit or small gap on the side of my bird CJs beak. I looked at it when I got home and now it looks like something is broke off in it or it may be a piece of pellet stuck in it?
This is the best picture I could get.
She has a broken femur right now and has been really struggling to get around her cage. I removed perches but she will not sit on the bottom so I had to keep one so she could get to food and water.
Could she be rubbing it and maybe that's why the hole is happening? I was just at the vet two weeks ago and it was definitely not like that. I have another vet appt on the 5th but I wanted to get some advice if this needs to be looked at sooner.
Please help.
So, my family's basement flooded. I have 2 parakeets that live in my bedroom upstairs. Our basement flooded bout a week and a half ago (we've done minor cleaning and they've been fine) and we've finally got the basement cleared to where people can come in and clean it. That's the problem though, they're going to use chemicals and im so anxious that my babies are going to be effected by them. I am a minor and can't do much. We currently dont have the money to send them to a place to keep them safe and we dont have friends that can take them in. They live in my bedroom but it's is a high traffic area as its a room people sleep and hang out in. I just want advice on the best way to keep my two birdies safe and reinsurance from other bird owners that they WONT die.
Also sorry for repeating myself a bunch its 11 at night and im 5 minutes away from an anxiety attack
(I lost a birdy 2 months ago and have been anxious since)
Amazing progress getting them to come to the millet not the other way around super excited for their big cage to get here Monday huge upgrade coming 🙏🏼💙 I’m new to this so any advice would be greatly appreciated and if I’m doing something wrong let me know I won’t take it the wrong way 🫣☺️
Meet Pokka! He picked up my ring and spent the next minute sprinting back and forth across the vanity for absolutely no reason.
He was so proud of himself... until he dropped it and immediately acted like he was never there. 😂
Turn the sound on to hear me losing my mind laughing in the background! 🔊
my poor baby got attacked by a cat 36 hours ago and after going to the vet i moved him to a smaller cage to heal, but he’s been hanging on the wall of the cage(since 18 hours ago) every time I check up on him he’s there. he comes down for food. Is this because I have the perches too low or should I just leave him alone because it’s normal?
Saw a green parakeet hanging with a family of finches this past Sunday. We’ve since been trying to catch it and/or earn its trust. We got parakeet food and some millet. We also got a branch for an old hamster cage for it to sit on as it eats and drinks. We have the 2 doors to the cage open and finally he found it. Unfortunately so have the finches. I’ve approached it and told it it’s a pretty bird, outstretched my hand in hopes it would fly to it, but no success. We play parakeet noises as well in hopes of attracting it to stick around. It flies back and forth from our side of the apartment complex to the other. Any tips or tricks to catch it? Also, is that a band around its ankle?
hello all! my grandfather passed away two days ago and then the day after, while at an animal rescue, i came across an all white parakeet with a little tuft of yellow. i had never seen an all white parakeet and for some reason, something inside me told me it was a sign from my papa so i got her the correct size cage, a bunch of toys, food, treats, etc. and i took her home with me. outside of the research on their type of closure, toys, and food, i hadn’t done much research on their care. this is the first time i have ever impulse adopted an animal that i wasn’t throughly educated on. she won’t leave this one specific spot in the enclosure. i guess i’m wondering if you have any advice for me? is it a male or female? how can i bond with and coax her out of that corner? does she hate me?
Can someone help with identifying the sex of this baby parakeet, it's about 3 weeks old.
Took my cat to the vet yesterday for her yearly check up, she had a couple of fleas. I am allergic to fleas and usually notice them right away. The vet stated that there was a spray that was safe for birds and to ask the ladies at the reception area when I left--they had no idea what she was talking about. I came across one on the internet that looked promising, but it had mixed reviews as far as bird safety is concerned. Does anyone have experience with this issue? The product I found online was KG Pet Spray.
Also, to add, I cannot remove the birds from the home--my only option is my parent's house that has severe mold and mildew issues, which negatively affect my bird several years ago when I had to leave her with the for 3 months. Thank you in advance!
Hi everyone,
My name is Mia and I am located in Rhode Island. This breaks my heart so much but I am likely going to have to rehome my sweet birds so that they can live the best life possible. I live at my parents and at their house they have a safe enclosed room where they have their cages and can fly around all day and play in the room (minus at night when I close them in for their own safety). I have to move out of state and where I’m moving will not be able to provide the best lives for my birds. I feel so horrible and am stressing about a new placement because I want them to have a really good life and be safe, and just thrive and be able to be the birds that they are.
I definitely want my two budgies to stay together. I am not sure their age but I got them both about two years ago. I believe my blue girl, Blueberry, was little when I got her. My yellow girl, Lemon, was said by the vet to be four but I think they just put that to put it. The budgies are bonded and I don’t want to split them up and make the transition more stressful than it already will be. They’re really not tame at all and are definitely interested in me but way more interested in each other and doing their own thing. This is not to say that if someone out in the effort to tame and train them that they wouldn’t tho. I haven’t began training with any of my birds.
My sweet cockatiel is named Honey and turned two this summer. Her and the little birds like to be in the same cage together and she’s always been pretty gentle with them, minus trying to lightly peck at them sometimes when they get too close to her. I think what would be best for her is to have another cockatiel or multiple other cockatiels so she can be with her own breed. I also would really love for her to have consistent human affection and attention as she has bonded to me and I don’t want her to lose that. She gives me kisses, will go on my hand, and lets me scratch her head. Although she lets me do all this I would definitely not say she’s “tamed” and she still has a ways to go but when I got her she was traumatized and terrified and has come so far. She only interacts with me this way and with other people in the household is scared so it’s definitely something that would take time to build a bond so whoever takes her would need to be willing and patient, as well as understanding with her.
-I do not want them to be used for breeding purposes
-Wherever they go, I want to make sure that whoever adopts them is able to provide them with the proper healthy diet and just healthy lifestyle in general and that they are able to fly around a lot, have enrichment and toys to play with, have a safe environment with nothing that is toxic to them or predatory animals, or that they cannot escape and get outside, etc. I also know this may seem hypocritical for me to say since I have to rehome them, but I’d really rather them never have to go through being rehomed after this and just be able to live their lives out thriving wherever they’re placed
If anybody lives in the Rhode Island area or even a couple hours away (I am willing to drive to a good home) or if you yourself has had to rehome your birds and knows of any good places to do this that are actually trustworthy and will place them in safe homes where they will thrive please let me know. Any advice would be appreciated. I will put some pictures of them in here as well ❤️
Hello! I am so excited. I got approved to adopt the above parakeet from a local rescue. He came in with a cockatiel who I am also adopting. They were both in a hoarding situation and kept in really small cages but now they will get to live with me and get spoiled. I pick them up on Saturday!
I got my Indian roseringed parakeet approximately two months ago, he’s been strangely attached to his cage, he goes out of his cage and stays above it but becomes strangely aggressive when he’s on top of his cage and the moment I take him away from his cage, if it’s the same room he’s in or it’s in his eyesight he immediately flies to it, he also hates being on the ground he only likes to go to my shoulder, and the fact is he isn’t just attached to his cage I also have a cocktail in another room so when I take my parakeet there he flies to the top of the cocktail’s cage immediately and it’s really concerning, he is okay with staying on my finger sometimes if he’s away from his cage but most of the time he’s going to run to my shoulder ,do you guys know what I should do with him / her.
( I don’t know it’s gender yet so I’m not sure if it’s a he or a she)
I don’t normally feed them seeds regularly only millet as a treat but I added a little bit of seed into their food mix yesterday and today one of them pooped and I realised that there was some seeds in her poo. I don’t know if I should be worried or not.
