r/budgies

A lot of people oppose budgies in aviaries due to the cold, but I can honestly say, as long as you give them somewhere warm to sleep at night, their resilience will surprise you.

This is Thor. He just turned 8. He's become the lone wolf in his older years but he still sings his heart out and has moments of pure energy

He's happy, healthy and an amazing little birb.

Happy Birthday Thor ♥️

I only have mutations and hybrid budgies

My coworker is aggressively persistant that she is a boy however her cere is page white with a small pink-ish blue-ish tone and bright white nostral rings which to me indicates female! Am I crazy? Is my coworker right?

He's missing some feathers on his forehead. Is he likely just moulting? I'd show this to my vet but they're 3h away, is this common?

Hi :) i love him so much but this sound, all day long, even louder than on the video is making me crazy. I don’t want to leave him in another room… and i don’t know how to stop him it’s like he’s constantly mad and nervous…

And yes i have him for 4 years now, he is like this the last 3….

I forgot to get parsley last week so I gave them romaine lettuce to bathe on. His sister took FOUR baths on it. Got parsley and within 3 min he finally bathed. Do not mess with this man’s routine.

Can you help me identify the sex of these birds please?

Anyone own a flock that is either entirely female or majority female? Post them in the comments and tell us about them! Would love to show people female birds can make lovely companions. I fear I see too many people be influenced to only ever get males because others recommend male only flocks. there’s so many lovely girls that would love homes that often don’t get them.

I currently have 2 females, Lumi and Opal. They have their moments but they are so entertaining and get along better then when I had Lumi and Juno ( rip). I got Lumi and thought I was not cut out for females, but after she mellowed out and I got Opal I realized I was looking at them from a completely different perspective

First time that BABY BLUE gets near to me 🥰

Could they make it any more obvious that they're siblings? These two were reunited again today after we brought Chance home from his god-aunt's care while we were away on vacation. Chance needs round the day care, so he has to spend time away from home when we're away; and Shelagh spends her days with the big flock.

Chance has definitely missed his emotional support sister, and he doesn't hesitate to ask for more kisses when he feels neglected. These two warm my heart every day. ❤️

First time I’ve seen them all take a bath together 😍

This chattering goes on for 15-20 mins every time I put him to bed. He stops if I take a peek...it must be something that's not meant for my ears 🤫

Is he telling a NSFW bedtime story? Is he singing himself to sleep? Is he reflecting on his day? 🤔 One can only wonder.

Got him to step up both feet on my hand!!! Also I will be upgrading his cage and getting him toys and whatnot was just waiting for payday.

I don’t know how to get through the day without hearing your beautiful voice. I’d give anything in the world for my happy, chatty boy back 💚💛

Thank you for the most amazing, wonderful, joyous two and a half years that anyone could have ever asked for. My beautiful, gorgeous, crazy, clever, funny, amazing, wonderful, charming, cool, strong, bright, stunning, brave, special, cute, handsome, precious little Sunny Bun.

There are not words for how much we are all going to miss you. The house has never been quieter. How we are going to get through each day without you screaming and flying around, I have no idea. There was no bird quite like you, honey. You gave us so many laughs and priceless memories. You were the best little boyfriend Morse could have ever asked for and you loved him endlessly no matter how bossy he was with you, and he loves you too.

I promise you I will take the very best care of Morse for you, chicken. He understands that you are gone and doesn’t know what to do with himself. I will give him all the love that you did.

I will keep your cage and all your special toys, always.

I know that Joan and Misty will be keeping you company and that you will be doing lots of flirting.

You will be in our hearts for as long as we live and one day we will be back with you.

I love you, more than all of the stars in the whole entire sky, baby boy. More than life itself.

Mama, Daddy and Morse. 💚💛
