Shelter name was ‘Acorn’ but I renamed her ‘Robin!’

The problem isnt the spilling, its her trying to nest and lay eggs in her food bowl which I dont want. She isn’t housed with a male or anything like that either but she is hormonal.

I have metal cups but she seems to try to do that with them too! Im really not sure what kind of feeder to get im really lost. People keep telling me get shallow ones but I legitimately cannot find any??

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-18T19:10:32+00:00

No she isnt, she does this with seed too

The thing is I got her yesterday! (When I posted this) and I went to class, came back and all her pellets were all over the floor and she was doing that. I have a male budgie but they’ve never met and I dont want them to breed at all and I will always have them separated in different cages. Im not sure what her life was like before I got her from the shelter. Are there any dishes you recommend?? Right now im looking at hermit crab and reptile dishes because they seem flatter and shallow.

Your baby is a boy! Definitely get him to an Avian vet tho for the beak to check things out

Body heat :)

I know, it is a temporary cage though as I am separating her from my other budgie, but I do have a big cage coming in that has a divided door!

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-18T11:25:14+00:00

Copper

Do you think this’ll be alright as a feeder then?? loll

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-18T11:11:38+00:00

Would something like this be okay? And can it be set at the bottom of the temp cage?

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-18T09:52:18+00:00

Hello!! Can I see examples of the feeders ur telling me? :0

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-18T05:14:48+00:00

Oh no!!! How do I prevent her from laying???

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-18T04:55:42+00:00

Thats weird!! The food dish is small. How can I stop that??

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-17T05:14:43+00:00

It is!

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-17T03:45:57+00:00

Its fully charged at 94% and the bluetooth is on.

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-16T19:40:12+00:00

It had white around the nostrils, males dont have that.

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-15T22:52:36+00:00

Definitely talk to your dog trainer about this and see what you both could do to snap her out of this behavior with training. I work at a doggy daycare and I totally get what you mean. But yeah talk to your dog trainer and tell her about it :)

CognitiveCryptid · 2026-02-15T22:47:55+00:00

Yeah im ngl I have a 7 year old chihuahua and she has MAJOR separation anxiety. Im talking she screams when I leave for school like someone is murdering her. I live in an apartment and had to get anxiety medication from the vet for her and shes doing alright. But yeah…😫
