Right now my cage is 16x16x24 so its more tall than it is wide, but i am told budgies prefer the opposite? is that true? its bugging me how wide the cage is but how short it is. dont they prefer higher spots? My budgies usually get 6 hours of out of cage time and I have a wall shelf setup near the window with playground and toys for them to hang out on when outside. The space the cage goes is measured 30Lx16Wx30H. its a cubby area in my closet basically an extension of my room since its open faced so cant get a cage with the wheels if anyone knows a better one suited for me please share!

I recently put this pole up and attached some perches and their food/water to it and they seem to be more interested in hanging up on the food platform rather than the perches. What can I do to help them perfer the perches more than the food/water platform?

my mom made me worry about her beak😭 is it normal that it looks like that? is it overgrown?

Instead of sleeping on her comfortable perch, she sleeps this way! 🤦‍♀️

Hi everyone ive just recently gotten a budgie to put with my original one which is about 6 months old and ive had him for 4 months before i got my new budgie he used to sit on my shoulder whenever i wanted he’d be on my hands happily and just overall very tame so I’ve not so long ago gotten a second budgie for him “a female” but I’ve had her now for a bit but she won’t tame at all no matter what I do she won’t tame she runs away from my hand in the cage she doesn’t recognize my voice either at all do any of you have any advice? If so please give me some 🙏

Just want to make sure from what I read online he should be a male but I rather double check with other budgie people before I buy him a mate since it’s just been me and greenie for a year

It will be cute they said. I feel like I have been tricked into getting vultures that occasionally swoop and circle around our heads!

Today I woke up and only one of my two birds greeted me, she was calling and I basically knew that he was dead. Instantly checked behind every shelf and my bed. In the end I found him lying in the food bowl.. These are my first birds and now I don't know what to do tbh. I know they aren't supposed to be alone so, do I get her a new friend? What am I supposed to do now??

Okay, this is gonna be a long one. I'm sorry, but I want to provide as much context and background as I'm able to.

Currently, my three boys aren't let out of their cage. I'll explain how it has come to this in a bit, but I want to change this if it's possible. I know my guys and I know bird sounds and body language and there's no doubt that they are three happy fellas. But I know I'm holding them back. It's a bit complicated, however.

First, we have Gylfie. He used to be an avid flyer with his previous roommate (Jimin, who died in 2021). He's a six years old boy birb who recently grew a fat tumor (monitored by an avian vet). I have no idea if he can still fly as well as he used to, and how much his tumor limits him.

Then we have Sora, Gylfie's new roommate after Jimin died. Sora's 3 to 4 years old and he's the reason I don't let them out anymore. Ever since I got him (from a hobby breeder, who was very involved when we had some health scares with Sora right after we got him). He can't fly well. As in, he struggles a lot, lots of crash landings, and a lot of stress and panic when he tried to keep up with Gylfie but couldn't manage, resulting in him being left behind or over-exerting himself. At some point he fell into a trashcan and that was the final drop for me. I was hoping he would get used to flying if I gave him time but that didn't seem to happen and it was doing more harm than good, to Sora at least.

Now we have Kiko. Avian vet estimated him to be around 2 years old. When I found him on the streets he was in bad shape, emaciated and seemingly unable to fly. Well, right before taking him to the vet, he proved that he can, in fact, fly perfectly fine. His wishbone has been broken, likely from colliding with a window during his time as a refugee outside, but it miraculously healed well on its own; so well that he can fly just fine.

I guess you kinda get the issue here. Kiko can fly, Gylfie used to be able to fly but we have no clue if he's still able to with all the fat build-up on his chest, and Sora cannot fly at all and seeing his friend(s) flying around while he can't keep up is stressing him out so much that it's heartbreaking.

I'm currently saving up for a more horizontal flight cage, but as I'm unable to work it will take longer than it should. And I also know very well that budgies deserve their play time. It's just kinda complicated here and I wanted to know some outside opinions on this matter. What will be the best course of action for me and my boys?

PS: Please don't come at me because I cut off their outside time. It was terrible to see Sora in so much trouble that it seemed like the only logical solution back then. Maybe it was not the best, in retrospect, but it was a decision made with only the best intentions in mind. Also, mandatory borb pic!

I’m sorry if I break the rules in here but I’m rlly stressed out rn. Ever since I got these 2 birds I’ve been stressing out because they are pecking at each other over food and perches.

Plus not to mention my throat is getting itchy and my allergies are acting up ever since they came here and with all these animals in my room I’m stressing tf out (1 snake, 2 fish in different tanks, and 3 birds) maybe it’s just me but I have a bad habit of stressing out.

I’ve been shoving a screen in my face stressing out until my eyes are straining and hurting trying to find bigger cages for them but the problem is either the people are saying “the cage is a bit too small” or either it costs fricken 200 dollars for a cage the same size as mine and idk I’m just so stressed out but I don’t wanna take the 2 birds back cuz I’m worried they might get sad and miss each-other especially with Sugar since she was all alone in her pen at petsmart and Lima bean is very affectionate with other birds and very curious also I already threw the petsmart box away so idk how ima return. I got a very bad habit of stressing out and wanting everything to be perfect for them

What should I do?

I got a bigger bowl of water down on the floor I’m just trying to figure everything out

I had two budgies and yesterday one sadly past is there anything I can do to help the other one I think they were mates I loved them so much and I don’t want to loose him too I’m spending more time with him so he’s not alone but is there anything else I can do I’m really scared

So a couple days ago I found Cloudy was dead when I uncovered the cage in the morning. It looked like he simply died instantly in his sleep spot. He was crazy and dive-bombing me the day before! That day Rainbow acted like normal, but that night he was definitely looking for Cloudy right before it was time to cover up and go to bed. The next two days, silence. I couldn't take it anymore. I found someone who had a year old female, born in captivity and her parents just died and she needed a home. I took her in, and she is really cute. But Rainbow is STILL silent. No more bursting out of the cage when I open it in the morning. No more masturbating on his special toy immediately after. No more playing and being a nut. Just silence all day. She likes to sit right next to him, but they just stare at me all day in silence. They perk up a little bit when they are eating. I talk to them all day long. How long is this going to take? My take on it was Cloudy and Rainbow were bonded and that's that. My gay little Rainbow is sad. What do I do? Do I get another male (I have 2 medium/large cages side by side)? Do I just wait it out and hope for the best. I miss my crazy birb. The silence is deafening.

Yoshi finally let me get a picture!

Two absolutely love it, the others are very unsure about the new object, but my parents keep our house in the 60°s on average so I thought it would be beneficial to them. Sadly my Parents said they only want it on at night, which kinda makes me sad for them 😭

Im a new budgie owner and ive had this budgie for 2 weeks, i gave him new toys, millet, cuttlebone,… everything he wants

I tried to spend time with my budgie and leave him alone but nothing helps he just sits on the same spot on his perch all day long and only moves to go eat and then go back to his spot

I covered half of his cage with a towel to make him feel more comfortable

But he doesnt move, and whenever i approach his cage he breathes rapidly out of panic even when i try to approach as calm as possible with talking. His cere is now starting to turn white?? Im out of ideas help please
