Hi. So I just ordered some Harrisons pellets for my 2 budgies - so far they have been eating only seeds and vegetables.

Can you guys recommend the best method to convert them to pellets? People are saying so many different things online, it is confusing.

Thanks everyone.

I just transferred our new budgie to the flight cage 2 days ago after it's 30 day quarantine. As we know she gets along with the resident budgie from the interaction between cage bars (feeding, trying to preen each other, etc) The only problem is that the pet store we got her from clipped her flight feathers and therefore she cannot fly from perch to perch like our resident budgie can.And she'll fall to the bottom of the cage. She climbs up the sides of the cage and aside from putting in ladders and ropes for her to learn to use to climb up, anything else we can add to the cage to aid her until her feathers grow back in and she'll be able to fly again? I just don't want to have her injure herself from falling or tire herself out from having to climb constantly. As she'll often times just hang out at the bottom of the cage after a fall Was thinking of getting a couple of these to hang midway and catch her if she fell, don't know how well that would work for her or if it could also possibly injure her

Idk what to do cos I love them so much but they just make such a mess like poos and feathers and seeds everywhere. Whenever they're out of their cage I have to disinfect my whole room. I don't know what to do, I've had them for ages but I'm getting tired of the mess. Is it something that comes with having budgies that I need to just deal with or is there a solution? It's them in the photo btw.

So poor marshmallow had a blood feather a few months ago and ended up looking like this from his treatment . For a few weeks he would pretend to give me kisses and sneeze directly into my face as punishment i fell for it every single time 😂

This is probably a stupid question but I am still super new to owning pet birds. I got a bunch of green veggies for my boy to make chop but if I wanted to just give him a snack like a string bean, do I still need to chop it or just offer it to him whole? Same goes for like strawberries and such. Is it okay to just offer it to Mr. Blue whole? Obviously just a small one.

I recently got a yellow female budgie for my male and they are getting along fine however she has these brown streaks/stains all over the underside of her feathers, what is this?? Is it just her unique markings or is it blood? Thank you for any help.

Hi. I had two budgies(Vlad and Sena) for almost 2 years now and they were pretty tamed, not afraid of hands and stepping on the finger for food. About half a year, one of the birds, Sena, died from an internal bleeding, she had a bacteria that was undetected when I was to a vet check. We treated Vlad and he is well now, but he was visibly sad. I waited for about 3 months and decided to get him a friend. Now the problem. The new budgie, Dora( the explorer) is pretty scared of everything. Now she got used to Vlad and the room, but she has night frights or something, is scared of every sound she hears at night and makes a really big drama. Thats why now both of the budgies are scared, Vlad who was tamed doesn’t let me approach him either. They didn’t want to go inside the cage for a while, but after some time I managed to make them go inside tonight. Now the question, I should close the cage door and let them stay inside for a while until they get used to it, even he bites the door showing me that they want outside? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

I have been classifying her as a girl so far but she honestly confuses me, her coloration is definetly interesting, I’m never quite sure if what’s going down with her gender wise alshkshd

Good name ideas for my parakeet?
