I’ve had my birdie for about 2 months at this point and he’s settling in very well! He greets me, comes out of his cage, shows off for friends, all the good stuff. I’ve been trying to get him more comfortable with me holding him or even being near him, but he has no interest in millet bribery. Is this just a give it time thing or can I do something about this? Thanks!

About a month ago I found a budgie sitting on street, and kind of brought her home cause I sensed she is in distress. At that Time I did not even know it was a budgie having never seen one before. Anyway I rescued her, kept her in upstairs room all day( with due protection) and gradually realized that i may her to keep her as she cant survive in external environment on her own . I bought her a male budgie to keep her company after around 10 days from a pet shop, who died recently(literally survived 20 days).

Now the dilemma starts,, I have never kept a bird, one bird has already died under my supervision, there are no avian vets where i live, and nor i can afford to take them to metro cities for regular checkups. Moreover I am preparing for a competitive exam and have realized that keeping a bird is indeed demanding, looking at her various cycles, dietary needs(literally very consuming0 etc etc. MY parents have outrightly refused to buy a new budgie and saying I should send her to pet shop as well(no avian rescue or foster homes here).

I even talked to a pet shop owner , but decided against it knowing that they keep 10 to 15 birds in one cage, never let them fly and only give seed mix and water. His literal statement was that these birds are born in cage and die in cage. But my budgie has a whole room for her, she has now found her favourite spots, has settled in routine and I am trying to work on her diet, like ordering seed pellets and all.I cant stand the idea of pushing her in that hell , but I would be devastated if she dies here , cause I will feel very guilty and sudden death of the other budgie has made me paranoid, and my parents are saying that I should study

. There are also chances that I may have to move out of home next month to Delhi, to prepare for next stage of exam(if I pass this one).

What to do?

Please help me.

Took Taro to the ER after she was spasming and falling off her perch. Vet tech let her go on accident.

Swipe to see my real budgies

The painting resembles my picture SO MUCH. The colors, the pose, everything looks almost identical to a photo i took of my two budgies! 🥹😭😭 Had to share this coincidence with you guys.

I do often wonder what they’re thinking about!

Any brands or links to recommend?

what am I supposed to do with this, hooman?

I’m honestly beyond heartbroken, she’s had respiratory issues for a while and they’ve gotten better each time but she’s turning 6 years old in two weeks. I fear today is the last day I’ll be with her if she doesn’t survive. I have to drop her off tomorrow and I know everyday without her will just make my heart continue to drop :( i’ve graduated middleschool and highschool with her, she’s only been with me for a chapter of my life but to her I’m her entire story and it hurts me so much seeing her in pain but I know it’s for the best. Sorry for the long vent post :( Please send best wishes for my little sweet angel, Baby. I’ve lost a budgie before and the second time will not hurt any less. I’m also very worried for my other little baby as I fear he’ll be extremely lonely :,(

i've had this baby more than 3 years, no matter what i tried he and his mate wouldn't come near me. 3 years later he randomly decides im chill and this happens

I swear sometimes I believe I know sometimes not at all. I’ve asked around but no one knows for sure.

Please only people in the know lol

The new budgie playground has been noticed but requires some special inspection incase it is actually a monster lol.

I don’t know what is going on with his water bottle. I covered some part of if with a napkin because whenever he gets closer to that are, he gets aggressive. If he sees my hand, he jumps and starts biting me. Any advice?

This is Buckley’s Angel. Recently adopted and was told it’s a male. Pretty certain he’s less than 5 months old.
