Also! forgot to address one thing, Lotus has been confirmed on this forum and in one other, by the creators, as a bio male. When she was a baby everyone thought she was female... and we went with that. Since she speaks English fluently and in context, she has always used she/her pronouns, and so...

i also have a vet tech who is known as the parakeet whisperer, she is who everyone goes to for budgie advice at the vet, and even the vets themselves defer to her. Ive met her and worked with her for along time so i do trust her, she is a great bird owner, and knows my babies pretty well. also...

The other thing my husband wants to do is to bring Puffy and Petunia over to our home. Since poor Miss Tuni is most likely on her way to cross over the rainbow bridge, there are some things about this that make alot of sense. I wouldn’t have to drive over to there once or twice a day, and spend...

My husband has been harassing me (lol) to get a budgie for Lotus, for years. Its annoying because it makes me feel like he thinks she’s not happy. He is convinced that even though I spend all day with her, and she is obsessed with me, that her life and happiness won’t be complete unless she has...

we brought her in, tried antibiotics, they didnt work- the vet says she has liver disease or even cancer, and obviously its progessed as she is visibly ill…nothing we can do at the moment, So we are taking it a day at a time, and trying all the natural remedies we can for her, in the hopes it at...

Thank you so much for asking... i was wondering if i should make a new thread because i have updates and lots of issues to discuss with whomever has the inclination... i could really use some advice from my friends here! 
 


Thank you SO much, this is really helpful! Hope you are feeling a lot better, and happy new year :)

Our elderly disabled neighbor has two budgies which he hasn’t been able to care for since his wife passed away. My husband and I help him with his care and also take care of the budgies there. puffy was adopted with his brother, who passed after a few years. After his human mommy died, he was...

Hey all, just an update... So this is an issue i had been struggling with for a while, trying to keep Neelu out of the bed ... but i finally put a large sheet over the bed and the pillows, so its just one flat surface... neelu literally cant burrow now, so its made a big difference! I...

Hi Laura and everyone! I have been reading the discouraging breeding thread over and over…I have a few questions … Neeloo is over a year old at this point, and she is exhibiting behavior of Constantly wanting to burrow or nest behind pillows on the couch or bed. Birds are out and about with us...

👋 hi! Wondering if anyone knows anything about dried Pampas grass, bunny tails, or other dried grasses/flowers. I like to use them in home decor/in vases… but since I started having birds I don’t use anything except certain artificial types that are well made and don’t have little plastic parts...

Aw what a cute thread ! Neelu’s are: Neenee Bubs Neener Beaner Blue-Blue Cutie Potty (my budgie coined this one) Lil chikn Rhino Blue Dino Burrowgurl Snugbug Goose (when neck gets looong) Buzzybee Lump Blue Angel Tiny buggle hope everyone’s babies are doing well 💕

Hi, thanks so much for the thoughtful reply! I will try putting her bed early and see if that helps? Ironically Lotus loves going to bed early, but neelu is not a fan, she is a party girl. I can also not feed as much fresh food? hate to do it but I do offer an awful lot of it . I make them mini...

Just wanted to add that she does get 12 hrs night, sometimes even a nap. I do offer fresh food every day though, because I just want her to be healthy. She doesn’t eat a ton of it though. If I restrict her food I’m not sure how much to give her so I’m reluctant to try that unless I know exact...

Hello everyone 👋 Hope all are doing well with their linnie babies. Neelu is now 6-7 months old! She is doing so well, has become quite attached to our budgie, gives morning kisses (makes the sound), and happily rides around on hands, shoulders, is snuggly and sweet. Now, when she first came...

Ok, thank you… I feel better about it now that you’ve validated we are doing the right thing. Had a couple of mini breakthrough moments today in between the craziness , so I’m feeling more hopeful now. I made lots of new toys, lotus is not so much into shredding but likes delicate little...

👋 hello! I had posted in a budgie forum about the toy issue, and was told to remove the toy.., And stick with it. I decided to try again … it’s two days in and Lotus is so miserable and just inconsolable. Its so horrible, am I doing the right thing? The it’s worse because she speaks and...

We’ve never seen the brown cere, and I was wondering about that! I give them cuttlebone and I can see that they are using them…not excessively though. But no abrasive perches, because I was told that they are bad for their feet (bumble foot) and /or they can ingest the sand. do you have any...

Hmm, interesting 🤔… Definitely no mirrors! But we have a few large mirrors around the house, when she comes to the bathroom with me there is a big round one that I have a suction perch on for her, and another big one on the third floor with a jute orb that hangs in front of it, she likes to...

Thank you so much ! I tried the misting and in the beginning she was a bit wary, but the third or so time, I got a half bat!!!!!! So cute and so satisfying to see ! Especially since my budgie hates hates baths in any form. I’m sure next time I’ll get the full bat 🦇…
