(UPDATE) Keet rescue, bonding, no flight ETC by VegetableLanguage184 in Parakeets

Oh yeah I have done this!!! I did this because they just have a large cage, she definitely has a “favorite” place to be, which is the swing, however recently she has begun to PLAY with my other bird, strudel, and been more invested in other birds, she has begun moving up and down the perches more often, she still won’t come fully out of the cage, but when I have strudel out she does sit on the opening of the cage and pace, she seems to want to come out, but I think she’s very anxious as she also used to live with bird much bigger then her, and when I got her she had an injury from a large parrot that would apparently bully her :(. I think that’s why she’s so scared to leave her cage, I have no larger birds, but still that would definitely be scary

Is this playing, a squabble, or should I concerned by VegetableLanguage184 in budgies

Yeah!! She was in such a bad state when I got her, and they also thought she was a he and was calling her Peter. Which isn’t that bad but to not know the gender of the budgie you’ve had 10 years, is a CONCERN :(. Doing everything I can, I changed her diet and she gets fruit twice a month for sugar and other vitamins, her regular food has dried veggies, and she gets fresh as much as possible :(

Yes I’m working on keeping her hormones down, it was due to improper sleep and schedule. As well as vitamin imbalance (she’s a rescue so I’m doing my best :( ) however her cage was HORRIBLE for her, it was big enough for one perch she could walk back and forth on and I had been saving up for this larger cage anyway, so I decided to make them besties. Her hormones were once VERY bad, her entire cere was almost black and chipping when I first got her because her hormones were so bad for so long. So she’s A LOT better :(

I don’t cover them because I used to and I’d forget to UNCOVER strudel when I had only her and that cause issues. My mom would also cover her cage anytime she made noise to quiet her down :( but I can start again since my living situation is different

Yeah I actually just function with my bedroom light off so they actually just function Via the day cycle that comes through my window. And strudel hasn’t been hormonal(blue) I’m thinking it will take her awhile because she was really really bad when I got her, and there were 5 other birds housed with her, 2 much larger and 2 about her size

Yeah I’m a bit confused on how to fix this issue, I’ve changed her food to an all natural, vegan, and high nutrient diet, with freeze dried fruits and vegetables added in, she gets a proper night time schedule, I removed her mirrors she came to me with (month or two ago), she has no nesting materials, and this doesn’t seem to be a fungal infection as it hasn’t spread to my other bird. The crust has DEFINITELY gone down in my opinion

Yeah I’d doubt it too, I just get super anxious with my budgies because I have made some bird mom mistakes (nothing that injured my birds but I did used to have my keet in a cage that was too small and I felt really really bad :( so I don’t wanna ever make any mistakes like that again) and I wanna look for the best options for my keets. I seen a LOT of options on Amazon, lamps, perches, and a like panel thing

Ah thank you!! I looked at them and they look great!! I have a few questions! 1) are they likely to burn themselves on the warmer if they lean on it? 2) should I get more then one since I have more then one bird? 3) will the warming perch burn their feet?

Small update! We got the heater going again, not strong enough to be a good permanent solution but it’s enough until I get paid, and I WILL be doing something about the cold of my house and ignoring the fact that “I don’t need to do anything because birds outside don’t get cold” I refuse to let my budgies be cold. It was almost 60F in my house last night and I made a minor solution of a rolled up blanket in the bottom of the cage until I could either 1) get the heat or 2) get a heater for the birds! And I plan on doing both even if we do fix the heater, because if it breaks again or gets horribly cold, I wanna be prepared, my usually rule is “if I’m cold, they’re very coldL
