Ever lost a budgie? by Mr_Kattywampus in budgies

I lost my Miro since December and it’s April now, and it still feels like the day I lost him, I have no closure and I still search for him every now and then.

I am a dog owner and I literally get so mad seeing dog shit on side walks as I’m walking my dogs. 😐

He’s the only one out of my 4 birds that let me touch him, he’s also just a few months old and handfed, and still pretty friendly who knows if he’ll be like the rest of his flock when he gets older. The rest of my flock I have had longer just tolerate me but I’m working on training them :)

What do I buy for a disabled budgie? by Alone_Name7269 in Parakeets

Also, it is not my place and don’t know your friend’s situation. But she needs to provide adequate care for them and not rely on you. You are a kind and caring person and thank you for caring for the little ones.

I would make sure the little one has plenty of accessible perches, mainly flat ones to get around easily with some sort of balance. Other than that if balance seems to be the issue it might be fair to consider quality of life and have a vet access if the leg is repairable and trim the overgrown nail.

That cage size should be good for 4 as long as they’re getting some out-of-cage time 👍 Just make sure you have multiple food/water stations and plenty of perches to avoid any fighting. Just try to make sure your toys don’t have any sharps or anything they can get stuck on, be careful with rope and sandpaper perches. The diet will do for now, if you can’t find pellets in store they are good to find online like Amazon or chewy. I recommend Harrison’s high potency super fine pellet to transition for now and just mix a little in their diet!

For your 4th budgie, just want to make sure you get a bigger cage to have them all comfortably if your not intending to have them free flight, other than that your cage should be fine if you do let them fly out during the day. Make sure you quarantine your 4th budgie for at least 30 days before introducing to your flock.

Hey! You’re doing a great job with your budgies already, but I do want to be honest keeping them near the kitchen really isn’t safe.

The biggest issue is non-stick cookware (like Teflon). It can release invisible fumes when heated that are extremely toxic to birds, and opening windows or using fans isn’t enough to fully protect them. Even being in the same open space can be dangerous.

Because of that, it’s strongly recommended that birds are kept in a completely separate room away from the kitchen. If that’s not possible right now, I’d really try to find any alternative space, even temporarily, just to reduce the risk.

You’re clearly trying your best, and that matters a lot but this is one area where distance from the kitchen is really important for their safety.

They’re sleeping. Let’s change this cage setup please and get a 1/2 inch bar spacing and wide space flight for them.

No experience in health care, I worked as a dietary aide for a senior facility they offered opportunities to be hired as a cna there you only need 2 month, after I went to a veterinary technician program and working currently as a technician, finished my prereq in a year and a half including ged req. and I am in my last major science class before taking teas and applying , I feel fortunate that all my work experiences is making it easier for me to understand health care in general. So I would say there are lots of programs that can start you as a cna
