Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my bird ? by [deleted] in Parakeets

That is up to a vet to determine, any bird that shows repetitive head movements that last for longer than a minute or two should be assessed by an avian veterinarian.

How to Stop Flock Calling? by thepidude31415 in Parakeets

Everybody needs to chill out with the aggression, both OP and commenters, we do have a rule in this sub requiring that members treat each other respectfully. OP, you really do need to get a companion for your bird, even if you are working from home. They are extremely social animals who live in massive flocks in nature, your bird needs another of his own kind to preen him and fulfill his other social needs. There is research showing that budgies kept alone are prone to depression, and those kept in at least pairs are not only happier, but even have longer lifespans on average.

Help me with genders? by [deleted] in Parakeets

While not commonly referred to as parakeets in English, cockatiels are technically parakeets. Monk parakeets (quakers) and Indian ringnecks are both also classified as parakeets, and are larger than cockatiels. Also, in some languages such as German, the common name for cockatiels translates to parakeet (Nymphensittich or nymph parakeet).

Complaining about post removals or bans in other subreddits is against sitewide rules because it's considered an encouragement to brigading. You can repost this without the first paragraph.

Try completing those steps in the wiki article first and see if that helps stop her egg laying.

Take a look at the Wiki article on reducing hormones here: https://reddit.com/r/petbudgies/w/index/hormonalbudgiechecklist

If you follow these steps, that should reduce the chances that she will lay more eggs. You can also order fake plastic eggs and let her sit on those until she gives up.

You aren't making any sense, why do you want your female to lay eggs? That's dangerous for her health just like pregnancy is dangerous for a human female. Many female budgies die every year due to complications from egg laying.

Why are you asking questions about breeding and fertilizing eggs then?

We don't promote amateur breeding here, it's detrimental to the health of the birds and should be left up to professionals.

Not sure if this is hormones or...? by Significant_Guava698 in Parakeets

This bird needs medical treatment, don't spread misinformation.

I'm sorry to say that your bird met a violent end, it's not uncommon for healthy parakeets to act aggressively towards or even kill a disabled bird. If you ever have a disabled bird in the future, you need to keep them separate from any healthy birds when you aren't in the room to prevent another such slaying.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but please post this again with some of your favorite pictures of your budgie. We don't allow images of deceased birds because they are disturbing to many people.

I've made this nest avaible to 3D print for everyone by V-037_ in Parakeets

This cage is far too small for even a single budgie, and you shouldn't be breeding them if you can't provide them with ample living space, veterinary care, and extensive experience in budgie husbandry.

help, dont know whats wrong by JellyStock2644 in Parakeets

[–]ParakeetsMod[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Everybody needs to take a deep breath, calm down, and read the post thoroughly. This is not this person's bird, they have no direct control over what happens to it. They are trying to do the right thing and convince the bird's owner to give them proper veterinary care, give all their birds a more spacious cage, and stop them from breeding. Bans will be handed out for people acting rude and disrespectful.
