Feel so honored this happened on my hand

Pixie has accumulated quite a vast vocabulary. He's always picking up new things. Closed captioning on certain apps deciphers it differently. I know what he's saying most of the time, because he's either learned it from me, or picked it up from media we consume repeatedly. Although I'm pretty sure he's said "sweet bitch" and "pretty bitch" a few times and I rarely use the B word.

So... What do you guys hear?

I had to face the worst thing I have been dreading for ages. My best mate and loyal companion for 12 years had to be put to sleep this morning he became so unwell from no where. I’m gonna miss him so much, only a small bird but took up such a big place in my heart. I’m in bits. Even his cage friend is confused. Love you Freddy forever missed.

I took Cash today to see the avian vet and considering she came from a hoarding house and was on all seed diet. The vet said she is in very good health. Now just gotta work on eating vegetables and pellets.

Finished him this morning, the beak looks goofy because I cut the cere and beak as one.

Got loads of ideas for colours, I will end up with a whole flock lol

My friend joked that I should make a pillow for my birds out of their own feathers. I’m not likely to do that, but I have started collecting their feathers while I clean their cage. The bag shows what they’ve produced in the last couple months. I don’t know how they aren’t naked.
The plant is wheatgrass I got for them to eat.

Hello, I’ve had SpongeBob (the full yellow budgie) for near a year now; I got him a partner, Bowser, after the quarantine period he was still scared of me but today he stepped up on my palm multiple times to eat millet from me :)

Is this male or female?

How do you handle the poops when you want to let your bird free? Can they learn to poop in one place?

this is a pretty unusual post for this sub but idk what to do. i recently put my baby's feathers in a small corked glass container because i've seen people make a keepsake out of it. it was so cute! the small yellow body and face feathers!

unfortunately during this time i was in the process of shifting to another place. i do remember taking it there but right after that i was busy prepping for a week long trip.

now that ive come back i cannot find that bottle anywhere. ive searched high and low in the places i think i kept it, in my bags, in my boxes anywhere i can possibly think of and it is hitting me quite hard for some reason.

i feel like ive been so careless? so lax and negligent. that if i couldn't even take care of something like that how can i even take care of my baby.

ugh its pretty frustrating and idk what to do. people keep telling me that itll turn up but bruh it was so small and so easy to have been misplaced/thrown. :((

This is my rescue budgie, Vito. I've had him for about a year or so now and we are really making progress together. 90% of the time he's out with me he is doing this on my hand. He never bites he just chatters and bops his beak or licks my finger, usually my thumb. Does anyone know what he's doing?

I came from work today…he seemed sick…My mother said that nothing was wrong with the bird; that he flyed today normally, I held it in my palm and pet his cheek, then put it back in its cage, but he spread its wings and fell from its perch to the floor. I was shocked we vent to vet and she said there is nothing can be done, all of this happened last hour, I’m in shock I guess, I didn’t cried yet, we burried him at back of the house…ı don’t know what to say I was with my brother he were acting like we were burrying a dam pinata, he disgusted me I wanted to punch him, I came home now my mol cried deeply, I don’t know what to say to or what to write, I kept him almost 6 years little buddy just…gone

I just returned from vacation, and I think my little guy really missed me. He looks so happy to have me back! 💙🐦

they are rubbing their heads on the cage wall.

Heard someone say that budgies that are not green (like, for example, blue budgies) are less healthy. Is that true?

I guess the roof of the feeding tray is very comfortable.

hiya everyone! so it looks like im changing my budgies cage to my room which is easier to bird proof and much more comfortable to stay in for me to supervise their cute hyper butts. but now i got a question, so my room has a split ac which means i can control the temperature of the room more comfortably, what temperature should it be at and can i turn it off when im not around? their cage has been in a warm environment for a while (no ac) or will it make them catch a cold?

Hi

I'm going to write my entire story in order for you to understand the context of my question.

My female 6 year old budgie died yesterday. I thought she was just being cold or moody or maybe has flu, so all I did was give her vitamins and monitor her. She had coccidia without me realizing how bad it is until it was too late. I asked my dad to take her to the vet repeatedly over 3 weeks because I was worried, like it always was whenever she felt a bit sick. The vet is far and I don't have money or able to drive. I was fed up with him so I asked to get her to vet immediately the day before she died, by the time we were there she was already pooping blood..

The vet diagnosed her and everything, I gave her the medicine and hoped that she'd get well, but I felt it was over. I kept caring for her and try to make her drink water or eat something. She refused but i kept trying anyways. She then went down to the floor of the cage and sat there but moved around every few minutes. Suddenly she couldn't stand and sat on her belly so i went and picked her up so check on her, she was a bit uncomfortable but i wanted to make her warm. She wasn't resisting my head scratches, she's not completely tamed, like she knows my face and my hand but she just never accepted standing on it without food on. My other male budgie (her old mate died 6 months ago of natural causes or sudden car noises in the dark) kept wanting to check out and flew around the room. My cat leaked into it and instinct pumped in, don't worry though nothing happened we secured the room and sent him out. I do know this was a serious fault on my part but thank god no one got injured. So later on he was trying to reach her since i was sitting on the floor in front of the cage and landed onto my hand, he never did that or accepted the idea that i was friendly, but he did it for her. He checked on her and jumped back into the cage. A few minutes later she was giving her last breaths, I tried to not give in to emotions and to keep talking to her with the nice voice she always heard me with. She died in my hands and I couldn't resist not crying as I held her in my hand and petting her head. I feel like shit since then. My other budgie runs whenever he sees me or has my hand around his cage. I offered him food but he refused and kept attacking me. I didn't tame him yet I have no idea what to do to convince him i'm a friend.. I'm not sure if he sees me as someone who killed her or what. He wouldn't land on my hand if he thought I was harming her, right? I seriously don't know what to do I already feel sick and lost my appetite but I want to at least make sure he's not seeing me as someone who harms

Share what you think about my situation, Thank you.
