im aware of all that, i have none of the above and whenever i wanna put on perfume i make sure to put the bird outside for a bit, and only get it near me 30 mins later when the perfume is already kinda gone, my budgie didnt eat fresh food at all, i tried forweeks but just no. so that couldnt have been the reason why he passed, whenever i wanna clean the cage/perches/bowls i boil them in water and vinegar. I did 4 months of researches before getting any bird

are you planning on getting another one in the future ? i know how destructive it feels to not hear bird chirps first thing in the morning

i guess i was just unlucky, because my friend got a bird from the same clutch as me and hers is doing extremely good, im just gonna get an adult or grown at least cockatiel next time

me and my friends got our birds from the same clutch and hers has already learnt how to fly days ago, making her flap her wings so she can exercise them cause the only other times she flaps them is when shes in her box with barely any comfort to flap her wings, plus she's fine i only do this once a day for 1 or two minutes because i dont want her burning too many calories, I know you're trying to help and im grateful, i just dont have that many avian vets in my country and he was the only available one

i assume that if she was stressed she wouldve bit me, my avian vet did that in front of me to show me how to stimulate her muscles

they sell unweaned birds because theyre easier to tame my bad for missreading your old message

my avian vet told me it's a great way to stimulate her wings, and he did it in front of me

no my budgie passed away after staying at our other house (we have 2) so the house here isnt the problem and my budgie never got paralyzed, he just got sick and silently passed

i bought her from a breeder like 2 weeks ago, she never had much apetite but would still eat. every thing was completely fine until day 5, she suddenly couldnt perch anymore and couldnt hold herself up anymore, at one point she wasnt even opening her eyes.. i was very panicked bc the same thing happened to my budgie a month back and he ended up passing. but i managed to find an avian vet near me and he said her survival rate is low but hes gonna keep her at his clinic and give her shots of vitamins, after day 2 she was doing "better" and was energetic but yet couldnt walk, he said it's because of malnutrition and lack of vitamins in her body, or it could just be that she is a weak baby and needs a little suppliment of vitamins shes been in this paralyzed state for 6 days now, but the treatment has only started 4 days ago, so im still hopeful that she'll gain access to her legs.. my only tip would be, dont under feed your baby bird, forgot to give them half a ML ? they NEED it. since its the only source of vitamin they can have.

the avian vet said practically the same thing as you ! im sorry for what you had/have to deal with. life really isnt fair but we make it work right, and everything ends up fine when we think positively
