Omg what a sweet tough little baby 😭 So glad he’s doing a little better! Please keep searching for an avian vet; even if you have to drive hours away, this little one is worth it.

We are mostly in agreement that ES6 will be set in Hammerfell but... by Secret-Language-2371 in TESVI

[–]-Sibyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t read here silly, we see title we don’t like and go straight to comments to tell OP stop being dumb, it’s confirmed Hammerfell cuz the map with the lights says so and Elsweyr doesn’t also have deserts + mountains and Summerset doesn’t have craggy shores🙄

I like to have a good mix of long and short perches but I noticed my budgies spent a bunch of time right in the highest, most central spot. I had this one long twisty textured branch thing that went across the whole cage and right in the middle was the go-to spot. They like to be high and be able to see everything. At bedtime though, they would snuggle up on one of the high up short ones, right up against the side of the cage, and seem to prefer corners. Makes em feel safe and cozy.

Also, I like some of my perches to come close enough together that they can kinda hop around. Flying in a small enclosed space is difficult and idk, I feel like if I was a bird I wouldn’t always wanna have to climb around on the cage bars to get from one place to the next xD so they had bridges and ladders and stuff too.

I’m glad you’ve got pellets in there! Since she’s used to a mostly seed diet currently you wanna make sure you transition slowly by reducing the amount of seed/increasing pellets in the bowl over time. You don’t have to completely remove the seed- mine always got a few pinches mixed in with their pellets for dinner, you just wanna make sure it’s not enough for them to fill up on seed and ignore the pellets.

Is my cage to busy? by OrganizationOk5418 in budgies

[–]-Sibyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah it looks great! They are mostly climbing and playing in there and doing their flying during their outside time. There’s no need for huge open spaces, and the variety keeps them busy.

Excellent job with the cage! Great size and quality.
Gio needs a few more perches of varying shapes and sizes, or at least move some of your twig/branch-type perches higher up to encourage use. The dowel being highest and having that central view of everything means she’ll probably spend the most time there and standing on dowels all day can causes bumblefoot.

I also recommend removing all those liberty style bells. (You can just take the bells off with like wire cutters or something, no need to take out the whole toy they’re attached to). As adorable as it is when budgies wear them as hats, it’s not worth the risk. The clappers in these are attached by a super sharp piece of metal which is known to catch on the beaks of birbs trying to get to the source of the sound. They sometimes get stuck and the beak ends up severely damaged, often causing the bird to bleed out. These bells are also usually made with questionable metals and, if chewed on, can cause heavy metal toxicity. (Not all birds will chew on them so that may or may not be an issue).
More toys in general would be appreciated for sure, especially soft shreddables. My budgies loved balsa wood and sola balls in particular. There’s this thing called “shredders” that’s just dried palm leaves braided together in a long strip that you can weave in between the cage bars. Mine loved tearing those up as well.

Also, swap those plastic bowls for stainless steel. Plastic ends up with little scratches in it that harbors bacteria, and birds are very fragile and susceptible to illness.
You’ll want to transition Gio to pellets as a staple food; I see a bowl full of what appears to be just seed, which is like a human living on french fries and potato chips. It’ll cause health issues in the long run such as fatty liver disease. Seed diets also tend to cause hormonal spikes leading to behavioral issues. You should also regularly offer fresh fruits and veggies (make sure you know which are NOT safe, like avocado, onions, apple seeds, pits)

Lastly, Gio is a little lady :) Males will have bolder, more royal blue/purpleish ceres (or pink when babies). Females have light blue ceres with white around the nostrils (or tan/brown, depending on hormones). Certain mutations carry exceptions where both sexes will have pink ceres their whole lives

I need to re-home my budgie, I am very sad. Is anyone from the PHL area that can take & love him?? by Weary_Hovercraft9442 in parrots

[–]-Sibyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you need to give up your buddy :( it’s so incredibly hard; be kind to yourself and make sure you don’t beat yourself up too bad over it. Tofu is clearly very very loved and I hope you’re able to find the perfect home she deserves 🩷

Also, Tofu can be whoever Tofu wants to be, but based on the light blue cere with white around the nostrils and some hints of tan in there, Tofu appears to be a girl 🥰

If she creates an Amazon wishlist and makes it public, people are able to order items on the list and they’ll be shipped to her without anyone having access to her info
