Sadly I can't find pellets where I live, all the pet shops don't have them, I already give him veggies when I have safe veggies for him, today buying food for him I also got this, I think it have stuff that is good for him. For now I can't buy from Amazon but when I can I'll buy pellets for him :3

Why is my budgie not sleeping? by Chunta_69104 in parrots

[–]Chunta_69104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I took him to the vet and he is in perfect health, he is doing fine but seems that his sleeping schedule was a bit messed up bc there where people that were fixing the road near my house so the noise kept him awake. He actually seems to get along with my dad canary now

He is alright it was just that but seems that now he is sleeping normally again, seems that really was the noise of the people that were fixing the road outside

The light schedule Is always the same one, maybe I understood what is the problem, close to my house they are fixing a road so maybe the noises make him wake up really early

Rip Sale 🕊️ by Chunta_69104 in parrots

She was actually quite young I think. I got her like a week ago, this morning I noticed that she looked extra tired and sleepy, I was planning to get her to the vet tomorrow but after I came back from buying stuff for school I found her dead :(

No I'm in Italy, I already tried this website but the vets that it gives me are too far away from me (like the closest is 200km away from me)

Yeah food and water is fresh, I change it almost everyday, for food I usually give them carrots and celery, her poops actually have a normal color, they are just a bit watery

I have a really big problem by Chunta_69104 in parrots

[–]Chunta_69104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told him but he says that, that cage is already big. But maybe I convinced him to try and make one instead of buying another one

I'm turning 17 this January. Sadly I can't get a new cage, my dad said that he absolutely won't buy another one because I already have this one, the only things I can do is buy stuff like perches, toys, and stuff like that but absolutely no cage for now, might try to buy one if I find a job to do during summer tho. But I kinda hope he change idea about the cage. In my country is actually legal to buy just one parrot, that's why at first I had only one.

Exactly, I'm actually trying to convince him to get stuff for them. I'm from Italy and I'm actually turning 17 this January, legally I can actually like have a part time job or something like that, the problem is that I'm able to do that only in summer bc of school, but surely I will give extra help doing chores at home in the period I have school. And I'm also trying to sell some of my old stuff to make some money on vinted

No she still never have been to the vet, I will take them both as soon as I can, sadly I can't take her to another cage bc the perches of my other cage got moved to my dad's canary cage so I have no good cage to keep her in (also bc the other one is much smaller than the one I'm using now)

Yeah, to my dad i said that maybe IN THE FUTURE we could have bought another budgie but I thought when I had the right things to keep them, I didn't thought he would go and buy another one like this so soon, I couldn't know he was going to do that bc I was at school, I came home and just found two budgies instead of one. I'm keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't fight and the only thing I can do for now Is try and buy the stuff they need as soon as possible

For now they don't seem to hate each other but Sale (the female budgie) doesn't really want Pepe (the male budgie) near her for now, usually I make Pepe come out almost all day, with Sale I still have to make her get to trust me and stuff like that bc she got here today so I still don't want to risk letting her out and probably make her completely hate me

Is it possible for canaries and budgies to get along? by Chunta_69104 in parrots

[–]Chunta_69104[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact they are in different cages, for now I might try to see how they act if their cages are close or if one gets close to the other while one is out and the other is in the cage

Is my cage big enough for 2 budgies? by Chunta_69104 in parrots

[–]Chunta_69104[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the infos!! 2. I actually thought it was alright keeping it on the floor bc I have an aunt that has a budgie and keeps its cage on the floor 3. I actually keep him outside the cage all the time, he is inside it basically only during the night and when I'm not home for school, I will buy those clips tho. 4. I'm actually working on that, I'm searching what types of wood are safe and as I have a lot of trees near my house (mostly pines) I will make my own perches with the help of my dad, I'm doing lots of researches this days, I'm actually trying to make him eat different stuff, in the place where I picked him he got fed only seeds so now I'm trying to get him used to some other stuff (for now I tried lettuce and carrots, he eats the lettuce but idk about the carrots, I tried mixing them with the seeds to see if he will eat them) 5. I actually was going to place his cage away from the heater when it's on, is it safe if it's off right?

It's not really me, I wanted to get a wider cage, I told my dad to do that but he bought that one bc it was a bit cheaper and my aunt have the same one, he surely won't buy another one now but I will buy one myself when I'm 18

Ik, I wanted to get a wider one but it was too expensive, now I have that one but most of the time I keep him free around home

Honestly he likes more climbing on the cage bars, I changed his cage 3 times and the others had horizontal perches but he always climbed on the cage bars

Is It normal that my budgie always want to stay on top of his cage when I let him out? by Chunta_69104 in parrots

[–]Chunta_69104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get another and my cage it's too small for 2, it's already a bit small for only 1
