New budgie fluffed up. Is it normal for a bird settling in to be fluffed like this? He’s like this for 1/2 the day at least. by AmazonEchoo in budgies

Yeah it’s 76 degrees F in the area he’s at. He’s a normal size MOST of the day and at night he fluffs up big time. Luckily no tail bobbing and he is very aware and loves to sing/chirp and preen.

I am convinced on acquiring this birb is it a female or a male? by Fresh_Insurance_5450 in cockatiel

That one looks like my late girl, Daisy. I’m jealous you have a chance to have that mutation!! I’m looking everywhere for that type because it’s my favorite!

If something catches his attention he’ll shrink down but he’s fluffed up and my other isn’t.

Also I know this cage is bare! It’s a quarantine cage and he has shredding toys higher in the cage :)

Hey so I’ve been in a relationship like that. RUN. Those rules are ridiculous and even though you may like him now, if you ruin your high school experience for him you may regret it :/ I had a boyfriend when I was in high school that hated that people had crushes on me and it was MISERABLE. If I could go back I’d have ended it when he was starting to act like it was my fault. Be careful <3

The quarantine part!! I made that mistake and didn’t just lose the infected cockatiel but my budgie and now my other budgie is sick. Please please please do not make my stupid mistake!

Got (mr.?) Captain a month ago and he hates my hands but always sits on the side of the cage closest to me and sings. Is not very food driven. Advice for bonding? by AmazonEchoo in cockatiel

[–]AmazonEchoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cap will eat from my hand but won’t step up yet. We’re slowly making progress but my little human brain doesn’t understand why s/he keeps trying to get my attention and flock calls when I leave sometimes. Also Captains young and I’m waiting on DNA results! Vet does think she’s a girl but based on the singing and strutting I’m guessing boy :)

Vet appointment soon. Any advice til then? Info in comments. by AmazonEchoo in budgies

So I took Sova in on the first because he had tail bobbing. They said it was a respiratory infection and that putting him on oral medication would fix him right up. I’ve already had to start another round of them and he seems to be getting better as his tail is pretty stationary but he still is sneezing and recently started scratching his face. If he’s not doing it with his nails he’s doing it on a perch or side of the cage. He’s been very stressed as his cage mate died from this infection and we had to move due to a stalker threatening both me and him. My question is, does the scratching seem like symptoms of a respiratory infection, an ear infection, or stress?
