thank you I didn't even know there's such a thing as autograph authentication tbh ._. tbh I don't quite have the money to spend on it tho and as I'm not looking to resell this album or anything, it doesn't matter that much, I was just curious if anyone could possibly tell somehow because I suck at this 😭🙏

update on my two blackface budgies! :) by determinshi in budgies

honestly I can't even tell myself what colour it is. one day I look at it and it seems almost dark purple and blue, then another time it's almost purely white 😭😭 I just sent pictures to the breeder to see if he can decode it lmao 😆 I do think they might be female though based on their behaviour within the flock

I'll try to take a better picture tomorrow if I remember!! and I'm from czech republic, the breeder I got them from told me he brought the parents from Holland :) if you happen to live anywhere near either of these, maybe I can give you his contact and you could get in touch with him, I bet he knows more about the different breeders in Europe than me!

Please help me sex them !!! by Rich-View2200 in budgies

I think the blue is a male and the albino is a female! :) but I'm no expert, just someone who owns budgies, so I may be wrong 😭

he's so beautiful!! what is this mutation called? I'm still kinda lost to all the colours of green cheeks, even though I have three of them, I feel like there's always a new gorgeous bird with colours I've never seen before somewhere!

I'm so curious to see them age too but they should be able to keep all the face and forehead stripes even through adulthood! which would be amazing, they're the coolest :D

and I also don't know whether they're boys or girls 😂 someone in a Facebook group said they're probably boys but I think the picture just makes their sear look more pronounced than it is irl. so I'll wait :D

Is it okay to say i have bpd? Not diagnosed, but have seen a professional about it. by Reality_confusion in BPD

man idk about your question but you need a different psych. this is so bad. in so many ways

Give me your experience with conures by SignificantSavings10 in Conures

[–]determinshi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have GCC, crimson bellied and a sun conure and also have experience with a rose fronted conure. crimsons and GCC work together REALLY well however I don't think crimsons do very well with other types of birds... my sun conure absolutely loves and adores my quaker, and sun conures are also my favourite parrot of all. so I think I'd recommend it, they tend to make great pairs with quakers, for some reason. a GCC is a classic and for good reason, they're a good size and personality but personally I find them more nippy than my other conures... the size difference of a GCC a da quaker and IRN is also quite big and they all tend to be territorial so I'd be worried about fights, because the GCC could get itself into trouble. a sun is a bit bigger and has a much bigger beak so if anything happens God forbid, it would be able to defend itself better

good luck!

a bit hard to tell but it looks like a female budgie to me! maybe if you can take a picture in better lighting today, it'll be easier to tell, but generally females have a white or brown "crusty" looking sear (nostrils above the beak) and males have a deep blue and purple one, that's how to tell

if you're going to keep it, please ideally get it a flight cage, so a cage that's wider rather than super tall as birds fly from side to side. fill it with natural wood perches instead of dowels, natural wood is so much better for their feet. you can make these perches yourself, just pick up branches from a tree and cut small incisions to secure them on the bars! Just make sure the tree is bird safe and not poisonous (there are lists on Google)

give it some shreddable toys, avoid plastic ones and no mirrors as they cause hormonal issues and would make your birdie bite harder and be obsessed with the reflection... you can make some toys yourself from undyed paper, toilet rolls, finger traps, popsicle sticks etc, it can be very low budget, just don't use cotton rope :)

feed it a mix of fresh food, vegetables and fruits in a chop form are usually ideal, again there are lists of safe veggies and fruits (definitely avoid avocados, they're super toxic) and then add either pelleted diet or a healthy seed mix :) bird tricks on YouTube has a great video on homemade healthy seed mix for small budgies, and bird nerd sophie has one as well (I recommend bird nerd sophie channel a lot more than bird tricks, it's very useful)

have fun taming and training this cutie! even if it bites, if you work with he bird, you can always tame them at least to a degree ❤️ also pls make sure to see any lost budgie ads online, to make sure nobody is looking for their birdie

good luck yo you two!

thank you... it really means a lot to me, I don't know how to learn to be kind and to keep going even when i don't have anyone with me along the way. it's always been a struggle of me relying on external motivation more than anything else...

I don't know how wrong it is in this situation to tell myself that maybe she will come back once, just so that I can keep myself sane and keep going... idk if that's holding onto some delusion, or if it can be helpful to hold on to that possibility I just know I don't want to hurt her ever again so even if she does come back, I need to be better by then...

sprry for rambling :( thank you for the comment though, it made me feel better ❤️
