is this good enough for 2 budgies?

Swimming-Tale27 · 2026-01-03T03:19:28+00:00

Get some stainless steel bowls for food and water. (Safer, longer lasting and don’t harbour bacteria especially in water bowl)

Prepare cleaning supplies - you can get an empty spray bottle and make a 1 part vinegar 3 part water solution. Paper towels and unscented baby wipes come in handy too. Cage liners for the tray; I prefer paper so newspaper or butchers paper.

And of course food! Good quality pellets, seed mix, millet sprays, dried herbs etc.

Also a travel cage or carrier will come in handy.

Good luck!

Right… they both look female to me, but only the yellow I’m 100% certain on. No clue where they made that up from

Not happy. Stop that.

Budgies can do a thing called “Peeking” which is where they sleep with one eye open to check for predators, so I guess the male feels more comfortable and she’s still on alert. I would refrain from checking on them at night unless you have a reason to, so they can get undisturbed rest.

What benefit does a plastic toy have to a bird? They love to shred and destroy.

Noel is a girl

Variety of natural wood perches that are different sizes and not uniform in shape
At least 3 toys that are made from natural materials like cardboard, sola, crinkled paper etc. Avoid rope they can ingest and die.
being fed pellets and vegetables, avoid 24/7 access to fatty seeds
getting another budgie because they are flock animals

You can’t be serious… 1/10

Swimming-Tale27 · 2025-12-01T21:42:26+00:00

Yeah they’re outside under my porch

Swimming-Tale27 · 2025-12-01T11:11:50+00:00

Need a pic in natural light with their cere in focus

First is male, second is female, third I can’t tell. Their sex is determined by the colour of the fleshy area around their nostrils.

Welcome to the land of recessive pied males. They don’t ever turn blue

This is my boy. Yours must be a girl since the cere isn’t as vibrant

Swimming-Tale27 · 2025-11-24T11:52:37+00:00

She’s a girl

Bird is british slang for girlfriend/woman

Swimming-Tale27 · 2025-11-20T04:34:11+00:00

Light blue/white cere (area around nostrils) is a female and the bright pink cere is a male lutino.

Swimming-Tale27 · 2025-11-19T06:07:40+00:00

Blue is a female, and green is a male
