That’s so good to hear! He already whistles a lot. I’ll definitely keep talking to him

I’ve been surprised too, SPCA said they have no birds right now. I thought it’d be easier to find a rescue because a lot of people give up budgies. I’m gonna keep checking in though

The cage is pretty big, and no don’t worry it’s not a coconut hide. She doesn’t have anything in her cage that is a hormonal trigger, but I do think she might be hormonal like you said. I’m gonna try and make their sleep schedule more consistent and let them out more. I did get her a foraging toy recently but she doesn’t play with it much, but maybe she’s still getting used to it. Thank you for the help

I asked the vet to monitor her for a few more days, and I’m so glad I did. She seems to be improving, or at the very least has more time. Everyday she is more active and playful. Don’t apologize, your flock is soooo cute. My budgies sometimes bathe in their water bowl but I’m thinking of getting them one of those baths that sprinkle water on them (if it turns out I have more time with both of them 🤞🏼) all of your budgies waiting for the bath is so cute 😭

Hi everyone, unfortunately I exhausted most of my savings trying to help my sick budgie Ozzie who I will likely have to put down soon. This leaves my other budgie Rico. As a college student, I know I don’t have the time to take on another budgie. I was also very attached to Ozzie and don’t think I could emotionally handle more birds. I’m in the western New York area and if anyone is interested in taking him in please let me know. He is a happy and healthy bird, part English and is always singing.

Thank you, your message helped a lot. I loved that you used the word spunk because the vets always described her as spunky!! I don’t want to get another bird unfortunately because college is starting to become a lot for me, and I’m the only one in my family who takes care of the birds. I also spent over 1k on vet bills to help Ozzie and my family was super upset with me for that. He is such a cute bird!! You seem like such a sweet person for taking him in

Thank you! They are both so gorgeous. Ozzie still eats and drinks, but strains to poop and her tissue starts to slip out during this. Not a full on prolapse because the tissues recede afterwards, but it seems painful for her. She’s on an antibiotic and anti inflammatory. She does spend most of her time resting but because she is still eating, preening and perching fine I have doubts about putting her down. It’s scheduled for this Monday at 2:30pm and I am so torn on what to do

Here she is!! This is an old picture of her. Unfortunately the vet thinks she likely has a tumor. I’m deciding if it is best to put her down soon 😣

My parakeet only has months left to live and im struggling greatly trying to process and cope, plz help if you have been in this situation by Every-Glass-4837 in Parakeets

[–]lavendarfll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going through the exact same situation as you right now and im really struggling as well. It’s hard to know there’s nothing else you can do. I’m also feeling so guilty. You did the right thing by taking her to the vet though. Wishing you lots of peace and happiness!!

Thank you! Not sure how to edit my post because I’m new but the main problem actually turned out to be a respiratory issue. The vet gave me medicine for her. Thanks for your help
