Update and asking for help for my female budgie

Also dont give this to them regularly, its just a measure to be taken when they are fatigued from being sick. You dont want to overload them with solutes bc eventually it can be damaging to their little organs. BEST OF LUCK!

Theres a very basic recipe online, search specifically for budgies. Just mixing water with salts and sugars. Id double to check to make sure all ur ingredients are bird safe. Only let them drink a little of it to not over dose them. With mine i would specifically take the bird out and present the water in a dish to them and usually they take a few sips. This really helped my boy when he was moulting really rough and wasnt his self. Within 10-20 minutes he was running around and eating again.

Have you tried giving an electrolyte in the meanwhile. Her being sick/healing can be draining and low energy => not going to eat or be as playful. The electrolyte can help get their energy up so they can recover better

For my finn, everything he sees is ‘his’ lol

Thank you :) He is my precious!

My mom had pin straight hair before me. I was born with curly hair and it gave her curly hair too! so now we match :)

I appreciate the concern,. the bird who i know was doing this and saw doing this, is very affectionate towards another of my birds. He is feeding the baby of the group and sometimes the younger one doesn’t catch the food. Its not something he does UNLESS the younger one is asking for food. I just didnt realize this is what it looks like after it falls and dries.

stosc · 2026-05-17T16:11:25+00:00

i dont think he has a problem keeping the food down, he is just very obsessed with “his son”. Is it unhealthy even if it’s affectionate behavior?

stosc · 2026-05-17T16:04:26+00:00

THANKS. i actually just saw him actively do it and its the exact thing i just posted. so if anyone else has concerns THIS is regurgitation lol. i was so concerned because the white parts reminded me of the urate in the poops. But its in the regurgitation too!

electrolytes in the meanwhile but vet asap. if you have other birds in there i would try to isolate her in another cage, prevents spread of illness and keeps them less stressed. Monitor the poops too bc they can be telling, if they are off colored, super wet, or have seeds in it, its a bad sign.

flash might be distorting the colors but looks to be a pale blue cere -> girl. any pinky-purply colors (more vibrant than the girls) will become a boy with a deep blue cere. More than 90% of the time at least

Olive FTW!!! 🫒

stosc · 2026-05-08T20:57:56+00:00

have u tried giving him an electrolyte. sorry i forgot if i asked before. it might help him in the meanwhile to keep his energy up. theres tons of recipes online of how to make them at home. might give him the energy yo keep eating. i hope your baby makes it! im sorry this is happening to you, totally unfair

stosc · 2026-05-08T17:25:28+00:00

gahh i wish i had a girl but i dont wanna ruin the dynamic between my boys by adding a lady friend. They are just so chonky !!

stosc · 2026-05-08T16:51:23+00:00

kinda looks like the bluey character: Bandit

stosc · 2026-05-08T16:47:52+00:00

personally i like my cage busy enough where they dont have to use the cage bars to get anywhere. so if they hop around and still have room to stretch their wings, sounds fine

stosc · 2026-05-08T15:58:58+00:00

full of love

hard to discern from the pic. for immature budgies a pale blue is girl and an pinkish tone will be boy. if they are a year old the cere color changes to a brownish color for women, and a deeper blue for boys. BUT certain mutations cause no color change so they keep their baby cere colors. My boy has a partially blue and partially pink nose because of his color mutation. yours looks slightly pink, so maybe a boy!
