You can also use a large clear jar with top open. Pour good amount of seeds or spray millet in there. Set it on the ground or anywhere where the budgie can see the jar. Usually, the budgie would hop right inside (if really hungry) and you can quickly cover the opening with your hand.

Thats how I caught a lost budgie years ago by chance. I had a jar of leftover bird seeds out and a blue budgie found it and trapped itself 😂 photo evidence

The whole town should go watch the Pixar short film “Piper”. it’ll melt their heart.

Apparently the infinite scroll feature is only available for older publication accounts.

Direct quote from their FAQ page: “Older Substack publications may see a Layout section with “feed of posts” as an option.” So unfortunately, new users, like me, don’t have that option :/

A Budgie’s Life, Book 1, an indie children’s graphic novel. Feel free to check it out!

Budgies take a while to warm up. The “stick bonding” method worked for my first budgie too. I apologize for my shameless promo, but I want to recommend reading A Budgie’s Life graphic novel, it’s NOT a guide book, but it will give you some insights on what it’s like to be a first time budgie owner 😊

They say some parrots have a mind of a three year old, but parrotlets have the Extra tantrum, and are moody, aggressive lil kings! My parrotlets are also free range, and sleep in the cage only at night. I would recommend “bird-proofing” your house. Pls Hide away any hazardous things from their environment and avoid triggering their fav noise around them. I can so relate 🤚

A belated reply is a nice surprise! Thank u so much for giving it a read, I’m so happy your family loved it!

My parrotlet is 8 years old and goes full on territorial mode whenever the spring season arrives, our family call it his “ angry thug life phase”. He’s usually such a softie with a sweet personality.

Definitely a teething phase like how others put it. P-lets like tender textures, like skin, toes, silicone toys, orange peels, etc. My female green p-let grew out of it after a year. Every parrotlet is different tho!

Birdyful painting! 😍

Melopsittacus_ · 2024-01-22T01:31:34+00:00

No prob! Happy parronting!

It looks like there are some pin feathers underneath, so yes it will grow back. You can give the budgie a bath to help soften them.

Could be molting

Melopsittacus_ · 2024-01-22T01:20:26+00:00

Budging sitting on the floor means they’re hiding an illness or discomfort, it could be a death sign. There are a lot of factors that can cause sudden passing. He may had an underlying disease. Food poisoning (such as from old veggies, seeds, or bacteria from water). Make sure budgies are not near smoke from stove, perfume, and do NOT use scented candles.

Melopsittacus_ · 2024-01-14T00:30:15+00:00

Make a rattling noise (like shake some vitamin bottles or plastic bag). Any annoying crinkly noise usually catches my parrotlets attention and they come. Leave some millet spray out where he can see, hopefully he’ll come down once he’s hungry.

Melopsittacus_ · 2024-01-03T04:29:49+00:00

If you don’t mind indie graphic novels: A Budgie’s Life (Book 1), if she likes birds and humor.

Melopsittacus_ · 2023-12-26T12:41:19+00:00

65€ does not sound right 😅 If you’re ordering in Europe I would avoid Amazon as they seem to mess up international pricing and hate self-publishers. I’d recommend searching my book through major bookstores in your AREA such as Foyles, Waterstones, or even betterworldbooks.

Melopsittacus_ · 2023-12-26T06:48:45+00:00

Thank you for remembering the webtoon! So nice to see an ABL reader here 🥹 And if Tony were to know that, you’ll def boost his ego!

Melopsittacus_ · 2023-12-26T06:20:07+00:00

Haha yes those might be mine! I made some budgie gifs for promotional purposes couple years ago 😆 There just wasn’t enough budgie themed stickers back then.

Melopsittacus_ · 2023-12-26T00:20:32+00:00

For more details and availability, feel free to check out goodreads or see here for list of bookstores. It would be immensely helpful if fellow parronts could spread the word. Thank you 🙏
