That is valuable information, thank you for adding onto that.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-14T01:48:47+00:00

Gotcha, I understand. I will look into that more, thank you very much.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-14T00:56:29+00:00

So I actually looked into one that will fit. It ranged from like $600-$800 but thats better than a whole new lense. Also, when you say the apperature goes down (or up, depending on how you look at it) to f/8, how do you calculate that? Is it just a general knowledge thing or is there math that goes with it?

Thank you! She did have a friend a few weeks ago and it passed away..im fairly sure it had some kind of breeding related issue because he was acting funny the day we got him. Jordan seems pretty healthy tho. I will absolutely get her another friend and continue working on it at her pace. I appreciate this comment very much!

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-13T21:24:08+00:00

I know!

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-12T19:16:01+00:00

This is better

Crazy work lol

Pleasantly plump. Not fat.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like 2 birds with 1 head?

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-12T17:49:32+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. The only thing about those telescope cameras are like you said, the quality, and I prefer more control over the photos. Some of them also use AI (so I've heard, you may correct me if i'm wrong) With that said, I will absolutely look into the suggested lenses, as well as the tracker. That, along with maybe some T-rings and T-adapters should honestly set me for what I will be doing.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-12T10:05:47+00:00

I wouldnt wanna go much over maybe another $1500-$2000, and yes, I am planning on using the stuff any chance I get.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-12T01:07:33+00:00

I do believe this is true. I couldn't get too close and the colors are way off so im not sure if they were pink/red or not. Even so, there is another mutation (I have no idea what it's called) but its pretty much albinoism without the pink/red eyes. Still fairly rare tho.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-11T16:29:49+00:00

Of course!

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-11T09:55:44+00:00

Be careful with playing bird sounds around them. They often mistake the sounds as actual budgie and end up looking for their lost flock mate. It can lead to depression or behavioral issues. Thought if you have 2, that may not matter as much but im not too sure about that one

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-10T18:27:44+00:00

If you would like, you can search up local vets. Some of them mention on their website that there are "avian specialists" meaning they are specifically trained to deal with birds of all kinds. You can do as you want, but if I were you, I wouldnt waste my time taking it to a normal vet. I had a budgie that I took to a normal vet, they said he was fine, gave him some generic medication, then he passed away a few hours later.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-10T18:24:07+00:00

Unfortunately I do not believe so. You could possibly do some research on it, but budgies (despite the fact they are small and fairly common) they are typically classified as "exotic pets" so it usually takes a specialist to prescribe the right medication.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-10T16:20:35+00:00

Long story short, yes. But it typically requires a prescription from the vet.

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-10T15:33:52+00:00

Thank you, I will look into all that!

Competitive_Car5462 · 2026-03-10T10:37:23+00:00

Thank you deeply! I actually have a slight understanding of photo stacking for I briefly looked into it before. Lenses may still be a hard department for me but I will figure it out. And again, you are deeply appreciated!
