r/Parakeets

I came into the living room and couldn't find my girl Peri. I got worried and then I spotted her trying to mess with Lego Jerry

got him yesterday and when I came to check on him this morning he was somehow out of his cage. I've been trying for hours to get him back in..he doesn't trust me yet so I'm having trouble getting him to perch on anything or even let me go near him..I've tried placing millet in the cage and even near the door but he just eats it from the outside and flies away. there's water and food in the cage but no matter what he just won't go in. any suggestions

2012-2026. He probably died of heart failure or something, because he was perfectly healthy according to his vet before he passed. On his last day, he flew, he ate, he chirped, he cuddled with his partner, and then went to sleep, and never woke up again. He was 14. He probably flew down to the underworld and defeated the devil to rule Hell himself.

Is he trying to hurt her or am I tripping?

My coworker and her spouse are offering to give their parakeet (Sydney) to me and my wife. She is a beautiful bird. They are moving to a place where they can't keep it. My wife and I have been looking at getting another parakeet to put together with our current parakeet (Nugget) so they won't be lonely. The only issue that I have seen from the pictures my coworker showed me is that Sydney might be hormonal based on her brownish tan cere. I am just wondering with Sydney being hormonal, will that trigger our Nugget to be hormonal? Is there a way to stop a female budgie from being hormonal. We just don't want Nugget to get hormonal as well. If we do get her, we know to quarantine her for 30 days in another room to make sure both birds don't get sick.

Edit: These are pictures sent to me. I am not holding the bird.

Not my photos, just seen them on reviews.

My 2 budgies currently use this cage https://amzn.eu/d/0eZX315s. For context, when im home i leave the door open all day, however they like to stay inside. They will come out to fly but prefer to spend most of the day sitting inside singing or playing.

The one in photos is a bit bigger only slightly. I know most people are against this kind of size so i feel so terrible about it. But they get daily flight time out of cage. The reason i dont want to get a flight cage is because I recently got one and its huge and it will be much harder for me to keep clean. I prefer to deep clean it often and this size (pictured) is perfect. I like to keep their area very clean. Is this size ok? The one I linked has been used for a very long time without issues because I let them out daily. I understand the bigger the better but i just hope the one pictured isnt unethical or bad to keep them in 😐

This is platinum! I believe he’s a boy but I wanted a second opinion

Found parakeet in the Kyle, Texas area close to summer Moon and Fairway Landing apartment. He has an ankle tag let me know if he is yours or you can take him! (I called the Kyle phone number for animal rescue and they are trying to send out animal control, which I truthfully do not trust after past experience experiences with them)

My budgie Snowy has this brown growing around his cere. it’s new, so I just wanted to see if anyone knows if it’s a cause of concern? thank you!
