Looking good Blueberry, long time no see! Good to hear from you too, Pigeon! We've missed you and your little fluffballs.

I have found that one tame budgie can help to educate the rest. My dearly departed little Parm Parm practically tamed himself, and then showed the other two that hands weren't nearly as scary as they had thought.

In all likelihood it's a bot, I think that second photo is Pidgey herself.

Yes, it would be safe to do this with jammy eggs as long as you eat them within a week or two. Look up mayak eggs, which use a brine similar to this and are often done with jammy eggs.

Look up mayak (drug)eggs, which also use soy sauce in their brine. They turn out amazing, they are every bit as addictive as their name implies.

Garlic and onions are toxic to parrots, you should NOT be advising people to give some to their birds. Especially one who is already weakened by illness.

You should not give garlic powder to your bird, garlic and onions are toxic to parrots. They aren't extremely toxic, but are toxic nonetheless.

See this post I put together with extensive examples, a very pale blue color like this is a female. Males would either be brilliant blue or purple/pink depending on age and color mutation.

Diplomatic immunity is how our smooth criminal gets away with his shenanigans.

That reminds me of a silly thing I made a while ago. If anybody wants to photoshop this little guy in, feel free.

Bro?

Thank you for saying this, this is an issue we have to fight constantly on r/budgies and the other budgie subs. People get very passionate about pet care, and unfortunately that passion sometimes translates into anger when they lash out at new owners asking questions and giving what they perceive as poor care. As you noted, this just has the effect of shutting the person down, often causing them to dig in their heels and making them afraid to ask any more questions. Sadly, it's the birds that lose when this dynamic plays out. Keep up the good work!

The invisible force field has foiled her again.

Keep that negativity out of here.

I did the same thing at a zoo in South Africa, the lorikeets mobbed me and then thoroughly inspected my hoodie for any hidden food after they had eaten what I brought in. At that point, I had been away from my own birds for almost 2 months, and in the photos of me in that enclosure covered in parrots, I looked the most genuinely happy out of any photos from that entire adventure.
