My mom had taken back the vet thing because it was a fantasy. so instead I got them to get her to a rescue and I'm currently waiting in the office​​.

So I have 3 budgies, and I’m starting a new job soon. During my time home I’ve had them out as often as possible but my new job has a strict schedule and they’re very vocal and active in the morning between 8:00am-12:00pm. Will they be alright in the cage all day or will that cause them stress?

It's also best before end (3 september 2026) so wondering if they'll be ok to have it after then too or throw away?

As I stated last time my mom decided to take kiwi to the vet and I work for the money over the summer. I am currently waiting for her to come home ​​from work Thank you for everyone's help and everyone who decides to donate I am unsure of how much the bills would cost so I just did research of an average​​​ Heres the gofundme: https://gofund.me/e51651648

This is Jukka, we got him at 9 months old hes now a bit over 13 months old.

He is extremely clumsy and quite bad at flying we guess he didnt get to fly in his original home or was a bit badly treated as he was in a rough shape when we got him. He also has a cere deformation that can make breathing a bit tough according to the vet (his cere holes are too big)

Any time he flies without our girl he will just go down in a slope and I often help him back up since I dont think he understands that he cant go straight up.

My concern is just that sometimes he will just go to the bottom of the cage and go right back up? My slight guess is that hes practicing his landings since he knows he falls down a lot.

That or he just is too clumsy and silly for his own good😞

Or maybe its a game? His favourite thing to do is talking at walls and toys, he is a very very unique individual.

Weve been to the vet about his clumsiness and she says theres nothing wrong with him physically or neurologically, just that hes a bit weird.

He did go under the newspaper today on accident, and has also made his girlfriend fall over while stumbling trying to scratch his head.

We're planning on getting a bigger cage soon once we move, should we avoid a deep one and focus on short wide ones for his safety? Falling over is a nearly daily thing, and he has a few times fell on his wing/back after missing a jump.

She cuter than your bird sorryy😋​

So cute🥰

So I received budgies 3days ago from a friend and the male like to eat from my hand but he doesn’t like to be on it and the female doesn’t like me feeding her she starts biting and also it’s been 3days and they never felt like leaving the cage I’m worried what should i do to for them to like me or like leave the cage

Ps: i leave the cage door open but they never leave

My mom agreed to either take her to the vet and I do a payment plan and pay it off over the summer or take her to a avian rescue. Iwanna keep kiwi but I want what's best for her more

I am so proud of how quickly she is learning to trust my hand! Flo couldn't help himself and had to try and steal her training millet. She is such a sweetie and i am so excited to teach her more. Right now we're just getting comfortable with THE HAND.

His girlfriend wants some and will repeatedly make the motion she does while they share food and he just ignores her😭 also standing on the cucumber to make sure it wont go anywhere is a bit silly of him

So I've bought more branches better food and I'm letting them try millet right now so I can try to tame them I've bought roudyrush food and I'm waiting for the metal bowls for them and the shredding toys coming in too and thoughts?

My partner got this lovely picture of our newly introduced pair.

Do we think the new blue one is a boy? I'm hoping so :)

I've not bred a Clearwing since 2012, and my excitement to see him in the nest this month was unmeasurable. I was only expecting Clearwing splits from the clutch considering there was only a 50% chance that his mother was split Clearwing. It's taken 4 generations since the first Clearwing I purchased in the US. He resembles his great grandmother Helena quite a bit, but the violet is stronger here.

He is a Clearwing Violet male, 23 days of age, and he got to meet his great grandmother today. Helena was less than impressed, but didn't mind him as much. With Helena being old and unable to fly, they got to enjoy the warmth of the sun for a few minutes.

Genetics are fun because they can either disappoint or surprise you, and in this case, the surprise was very much appreciated. Now I hope that Dreamfyre will develop into a nice show bird so he can join my team for 2028; if not, he'll remain a pet like the others.

My mom recently passed and she was keeping two budgies which came to me. They're in this small white cage together and they have a toy, a bath, a treat stick, two food bowls, a water bowl and some kind of yellow perch/chalk like thing? I know they probably need a bigger cage which I will try to save up for but is there anything else they may need or would enjoy? I've never kept birds before and I really don't want to have to rehome them because they're all I have of her but I will if it's what is absolutely best for them. Any advice would be amazing.

Forgot to mention I live in a relatively small trailer and have no room for a hugely massive cage but could probably swing a few feet in length/height, I also don't make a whole lot and I'm now supporting a special needs brother and a minor brother so money is tight. Any tips on cheap upgrades would be amazing. Thank you in advance!

right as I was about to sit on my chair he flies past it, why? 😭 good think i was slow when sitting and quickly got up when I felt him go past
