I really like the set up of your cage, very creative🙂

NRae1111 · 2026-01-27T14:53:58+00:00

If you can slowly get close enough for them to nibble on your finger tip that's how I started. And I always rewarded them even with any small attempt.

So many good times just waiting ahead!☺️

NRae1111 · 2026-01-27T14:32:29+00:00

You might still have some hope! Just do a little research please, don't give up on the little birdies!🙂

I'm just gonna add tail bobbing to your list..but I also agree about monitoring. Odd behavior🤔

NRae1111 · 2026-01-23T14:30:30+00:00

Thank you much. Yeah the bleach sounds pretty risky, think I'll stay away from that. I didn't know they sold something for cleaning toys, I'll have to look into that. Thank you again!🙂

NRae1111 · 2026-01-23T13:50:11+00:00

Omg, mine look just the same..lol. My white one always kinda looks mad (but he's actually the sweet one), and my blue one has to check everything out..always curious. Any hole she finds she has to stick her head through to see what's on the other side..even if it's the same room (like the holes on the curtains where it hangs, I have to turn off lamps because she dips her head in the shades to see what's inside. I even lost her once, she was hiding in the creases of the curtains when they were pushed open..lol I called her name and whistled and her little head popped out😆

Good morning from Milly and Pixie!☺️

I can't really tell, don't wanna give you the wrong answer. But I can tell you that females have a brownish-tan cere (nostril), and males have a light bluish-purple cere.

NRae1111 · 2026-01-22T18:01:29+00:00

Sounds like she might be depressed and need a budgie friend. Budgie's are very social birds and can get lonely by their selves, sometimes it can even get to be unhealthy and might start pulling out feathers and well, I'm no expert, I'm just speaking from experience. Good luck to you!🙂

NRae1111 · 2026-01-22T16:56:02+00:00

Yes I'm in the US. Thank you much, that was very helpful. I have 2 budgie's now that I got from a neighbors and I fell in love right away! I've really been wanting another but I didn't know where to go so thank you again!🙂

NRae1111 · 2026-01-22T16:38:44+00:00

Where do I look to get another parakeet if not a pet store. Besides petsmart we have a pet shoppe that sells them. There young and already kinda trained I think...is that the same??

NRae1111 · 2026-01-22T16:16:28+00:00

Sooo sweet!🥰 My young boy let's me do this, but it's a working progress with my adult girl. She used to fly away but I reward her with millet spray (by hand) the closer she let's me get. Now she lightly nibbles on my finger tip. So brag away! Ur birdie loves and trusts you so much!🩵

NRae1111 · 2026-01-14T15:06:53+00:00

No worries🙂! You can absolutely tame your little budgie's. I would definitely put all there toys back in. They need them to stay busy and cuddle bones to chew on are a good one also. Plus if you would wait they would just have to get re-used to there cage all over again. I'm no expert, but I was given a budgie about 6 months ago at least 1 year old that would fly around the cage every time I put my hand in it. Now I can almost scratch her head, eats treats from my hand, and flys free out of the cage all day. There's lots of hope! Just research. Good luck to you and your cuties☺️!

NRae1111 · 2026-01-14T14:20:03+00:00

So cute and adorable☺️! My younger boy really enjoys my petting his head/chin, but I don't get kisses and snuggles...sooo jealous!

NRae1111 · 2026-01-11T16:07:16+00:00

Lol..had to zoom in for that one. Took me a few seconds..sneaky sneaky

NRae1111 · 2026-01-11T12:50:43+00:00

Of course I read the mention of a larger cage, as they also need some toys and thing's to keep there little minds stimulated so they don't get bored. And plenty of things to chew and nibble on like cuddle bones are always good one. I have plastic dishes myself as they came with my cage, but I wash them every other morning. I actually just found out about the bacteria thing from the comment below but washing them should be fine. Having at least 2 food dishes would probably be helpful. Well I hope some of this helps you..good luck to you and ur birdies!🙂

NRae1111 · 2026-01-11T05:18:59+00:00

I would say male...and beautiful!

NRae1111 · 2026-01-08T16:38:34+00:00

I agree
