We started to feed a local cat some months ago, and it adopted us. Yesterday, I accidentally left the bird cage open and my mom accidentally left the room door open. The cat ate our budgie. My mom says it’s my fault, and I feel guilty as well as sad. Is mom right to blame me?
Hey yahoo. I am going to be a first time bird owner, and I was confused on something. Do you have to tame every budgie you get.(even if it was hand raised???) I have been doing research and all and It seems like everybody says ” well you have to tame it by……” or books will have headers Taming your bird, Taming your parakeet. And I am getting the impression that no matter what you have to tame the bird. But like I said I am still confused on that little tidbit of it. And is it true that if you get a female she will regardless of having a male or not she will lay eggs? And that if you have a female then you should have a nest box? Because if that’s the case then I will go with a male. I am continuing to do as much research as possible on the budgie before I actually get it. So I thank you for your time, and I would appreciate your answers. And please do not post a simple one word answer(ex yes, no, yes) I would appreciate it if you guys answer with at least a simple sentence. Thanks again for your time and answers. I really appreciate it tons.

ok, my bird is almost 5 months old, and shes laying eggs, and i dont know if they are fertile because she is in a cage with her dad and her.. other sibling. well i put them in a bowl with some nesting materials because i dont have anything else to put them in. in another cage i have a (lutino) hen and a cock in a nesting box and then one chick out of the 6 eggs that hatched. (the other 5 were duds). so im wondering if i should take the eggs from the one cage and put it with the lutino hen and her chick. the lution’s chick is about 18 days old, and the the first egg was lain 16 days ago.
and i have another question. in this third cage i have a hen that is on her second set of eggs this year. i didnt think that she would lay anymore (thats why i put the lutino and the male in the box) because she wasn’t in the cage with her mate, but i did see her doing it with this other male one time (which i didnt think would happen….) right now i have them in the best thing i could find that is close to a nesting box. shes in a popcorn box that has the top opened, and its on its side, on the bottom of the cage, but its really short and she cant really stand up on it. so would it be better just to put a bowl in there wit nesting things or no nesting things?
oh, thats alot. please help me.
the one that was 5 months old ate her egg. SHE ATE IT. or something. it was all gone and there were little white flecks on the bottom of the thing…
Now, I didn’t mean for them to breed but they have.
I have four budgies and one Indian Ring Neck Parrot. One of the female budgies has laid about 4 or 5 eggs in a nesting box that was already in the bird aviary and began sitting on them. Their only source of food is budgie seeds.
I wanted to know whether I should change their diet due to the female laying eggs?
What kind of food should be provided if the eggs successfully hatch?
Whether the fact that the budgies share a cage with my IRN Parrot will be of any danger to the chicks if they successfully hatch?
Any other information that would help me to assist my birds would also be helpful.
Okay, so my yellow budgie laid eggs. So i moved her to a different cage with her nest box. First she was sitting at the end of the nest for a few hours, Then came out of the nest. Then she did the same thing, but she didn’t sit on them. It’s been a month since she laid eggs. So a month before, she sat on them for 24/7. ( moved her to different cage + place because bad enviroment. also moved other birds. ) Anyways why isnt she sitting on them?
well my budgie has had many babys and most have survived but this time she had a baby and another budgie went in her nesstbox and chucked the baby out when i went in the avary the baby budgie was almost dead and the mother was on the floor at the other side so i put the mother n baby back in the nest box and got the other bird out the baby diad and then i noticed the mother bird stoped been able to fly and becam weak could this have been depression or just becouse shes diad becouse of having babys or just died for no apparent reason

hi, i have rescued a budgie from neglect and i have never kept any birds except for quails before. the budgie has chlamydia which i am treating. i was just wondering if it needs material to make a nest from or something? it seems to want to go to sleep with its face in the seed box.
