My mom refuses to believe seeds are unhealthy for birds and I'm trying to prove we should get pellets, but she keeps saying, if it's not food why do they put it up on shelves in petco.. please help me convince her

One eye closed

My budgie always has one of his eyes closed and occasionally scratches it. Could there be something wrong with his eye or just budgie being budgie?

male budgie growl [volume up]

I had to cut to a moment in which they got loud enough to record, and here they were also bickering, but before this was a minute-long no-contact staring contest in which they made this very quiet "eeeehhh" noise. It's a bit like they're challenging the other to do the first move, or saying "you better get off or I'll get angry! you don't want to see me angry!" They do it now and then. Do your birds "growl" too?

How long ?

How long do I keep my budgie in horny jail? Caught them trying to mate and immediately separated them. Only now I realize how hormonal my male budgie is, I thought he was simply being playful. Anyway, I'd like to know how long should I keep them separated? I know about hormones regulation, but I don't know if there are visible cues that he's doing better. Right now, they're still trying to regurgitate to each other (although separated) it's only been a day.

Why does he do this? I've had him for 3 months and he's still not getting used to anyone. The second I get him on my finger and out he flies right back to the cage. He's always very scared to eat, you can't make a sound else he'll go away and won't eat for the entire day until he's extremely hungry

He always sees my other budgie playing with toys and seen her do this for 3 months. He still doesn't attempt to play with anything or do anything. What can I do?

Newbie Questions, All help appreciated

Hi, I haven't get my budgie yet but planning to very soon. I have ordered my cage, probably arriving next week. Meanwhile I have some newbie questions, appreciate all help.

In Singapore, where can I best buy a budgie? Any tamed and weaned breeders for recommendation? Can PM.

Is Acrylic Spill Proof Auto Feeder an absolute no-no? Why? (Image included on what I have ordered)

I couldn't find any cons or info about it being bad for birds online or on google...

My cage have not arrive yet, I will send the cage settings in text, when it arrives and I set up everything I will provide an image.

** Cage size 46cm x 46cm x 79cm, bar space 10mm, bar thickness 3\2mm, on the floor with wheels!

I had prepared Cunipic Complete Food (Ingredients: Canaryseed, Yellow Milletseed, White Milletseed, Plate Milletseed, Peeled Oats, Red Milletseed, Grit, Stomach Gravel, Orange Aroma and Vitamins.) for my future budgie and millet spray as treats.

Perches : 4 Natural wood and 1 rope perch (From PLC)

Toys : Swing, Bridge, Ladder, Vine ball, Cuttlefish Bone, Swirley rope made of beads, an in cage platform that contains another swing and ladder, a bathtub.

Accessories : Water Feeder, Spillproof auto feeder, fruit fork x 2 **

My budgies don't like fruits. They love cucumber though, but I also had to dip them first in Millet
