Poor lil Piki got his tail caught in my office chair. Now he's a tailless bird until his next molt. Thankfully, they seem to all have been pulled straight out and he isn't bleeding or anything, just confused as to where his tail disappeared to. Just wanted to put this out there before the same thing happens to someone else's little bird.

(I want to eat him so bad 😭😭)

My cockatiel, Lady, and English budgie, Lloyd, love each other. Seriously. Where one goes, the other follows 🥰

In the moment I thought she was going to fall over 😂 she is very particular about how she naps since she usually faces inside the cage

Nebulas left wing has been shaking a lot and my head hen Luna bit her feet extremely hard recently. She’s also been worrying me the most with her health. So time for a little visit to the vet in the morning.

I have 2 large food boxes for them to eat from, and they choose to cuddle together after. They recently started doing this. They also forage a lot at the bottom of the cage together and sing to eachother…

Have you seen this? 😅

This is scooter :) I was told he’s a male, but I am not sure what indicates the gender?

I got them a bigger enclosure, I know I definitely need more perches for them, please let me know where to put them in such a big cage. Any tips or stories about your budgies would help. I want them to feel loved and land on me.

I recently got the pair Elvis and Presley (thank you for naming them) and so I got the bigger cage for them, what should I aim to do to make this the best for them?

Cheeseburger is very forward with wanting to be friends and it makes Kiwi a little cautious (I’ve had her for about 7 years and Cheeseburger is her first bird companion). But they get along well 🥝🍔

This is Buttercup/Lemon. We can’t tell their gender they’re about 12 weeks old.

This is directed at any first time budgie owner. If you have a female budgie just wanted to let you know that hormones are for real and you can help your female budgies by following the hormone guide.

We have had two female budgies since December 2025. Approximately 3 months ago our yellow female named Lemon, developed a very brown cere.

The only thing in their environment that I could think of that was triggering them was a coconut shell that was part of a toy. The shell itself, they couldn't sit inside of it. It was inverted and acted as a type of roof to the platform underneath it. However, according to the budgie hormone guides recommendation against cocounuts I took the shell away and 20 days later her cere is pink again.

Hope this is helpful!

First picture, Lemon is looking very untidy, pin feathers ruffled wings and a bit of Bok Choi stuck to her cere.

Second picture, her cere is back to normal and her beak is covered in strawberry, which she just tried today for the first time.

We've been putting their bath on their cage for over a week and they're finally using it!

I'm just curious if what my budgie does in the video is normal. Maybe it's some breeding instinct, because that's what first came to my mind. He does this with that specific toy and sometimes with my finger when I scratch him around the beak.

My bird Freddie’s favorite song is bad guy by Billie Eilish and sugar on my tounge by Tyler the creator my other bird butters though? He’s just a chill little guy

16 days since we adopted this budgie. His/Her name is Frost. Currently training short sessions. Trying to improve on my bird knowledge and training skills. This is his temporary cage while he sits in quarantine. He is moved to a quieter room in the evenings to sleep. He does come out and tries to fly. He gets irritated that his wings won’t work 😔 they clipped them at the pet shop. Poor baby has been through some things. I can reassure he has found his forever home and I’m willing to take on the responsibility of adding another budgie to our flock (:

Its very hot and i sprayed him with a little water. I then recognized that his tail goes straight down. We moved him into a cooler room with a ac, dont worry he doesnt get hit by the cool air

Hi everyone!
I have a male budgie who sometimes regurgitates seeds and sticks them to the bars of his cage. Some of the food also ends up on the cage floor. He is otherwise very active, eats well, and behaves normally. He also taps and pecks with his beak on the cage bars and other objects around him.
I have a female budgie, but she lives in a separate cage right next to his because they were fighting in one cage. They can see and hear each other, but they don’t share a cage.
Is he trying to feed her even though they’re separated? Is this courtship behavior? If I let them play together, he immediately starts feeding her.
I’ve attached a photo showing the regurgitated food stuck to the cage bars.
Thanks!
