Budgie Information - Budgie Information Questions

Question #1:

Will my parakeets breed if one misses a different one?

Okay, I know I ask a lot of questions about breeding. But I need all the information I can get. Recently I wanted to breed these two budgies I thought looked cute and would make cute babies.. I let them bond for about 4 months before I tried putting the nest box in. Than I looked stuff up and found out your not supposed to breed a female budgie over 4 years of age, cause of causes of egg binding etc.. So I removed her from the cage and I realized I had a female budgie that was the same age as The male. But they didn't know each other that well.. So I put them in a cage together wall all the other birds were in the flight cage. And after about 7 days of bonding with the new female they started fighting. THAN the female that was previously with him started to cheer him on and now they keep tweeting to each other, and he's not paying any attention to the new female budgie.. I think maybe he misses her? What should I do to increase the chances of the male and new female bonding more?

Question #2:

Newborn budgie help!!!!?

I work at a zoo and someone dropped off a day old budgie. I've looked up everything i can but Im worried because alot of the information Im getting seems to contradict its self. I need to know what tempture to keep the little guy at and how often i should feed. I've gotten him to eat for me 3 times but Im not sure if they eat throughout the night. I've made sure not to feed him food over 100 degrees f. I would love any tips on how to keep this little one alive.

Question #3:

What is the best way to tame Budgies?

I have two female budgies that are not tamed. How long do you (budgie owners) think it will take and what are the best methods of taming them?

Any additional helpful information is also appreciated.

Question #4:

How can I convince my parents to let me have a budgie?

I am a very responsible person. I know everything there is to know about budgies. I created an account to share the knowledge of budgies I know. One problem- I can't share it in the real world. I don't have a budgie!!!! I made persuasive papers, a 4 page essay(completely full) A huge poster board full of information, budget plans, facts, how i plan on taking care of it, pictures, a drawing of were in my house I will put it, how I will train it, I got out my laptop and showed videos on youtube of how samrt they are, and a lot lot more. STILL NOTHING! They said "you still know my feelings" like, what is that supposed to mean?!!!!???!?!?! He told me why he didn't want one:responsibility. I told him how he wouldnt even have to lift a finger, and he said,"' .........'!!!! like what is wrong with "possibly get one" she said, " its up to your father". I am even going to be paying for EVERYTHING. Parakeets at petco only cost $12 so i have all the money. I told him that having the permission to have a parakeet would be my one and only birthday present. He said "....." Ugh I am soooo mad right now. I did all this work work and nothing. I don't know what his problem is and my b-day is coming up soon so I need a decision from him soon.HELP ME!!!
*like what is wrong with him? I asked my mom and she said"possibly get one" sorry for the typo. Oh yeah, she=my mom he=my dad
Oh and lisa, the food is not expensive, and your bird is probably just scared of you. DONT GO ALL CRAZY JUST BECAUSE YOUR BUDGIE DOESN'T LIKE YOU!!!

Question #5:

Help with liquid form of Avi-Cal?

Hello
My budgie had Scaly face/ Scaly leg. He got treated for it today, and I was told it should go away after the one treatment and if not to bring him back and they will treat him again. It wasn't that bad, mostly on the beak, and just starting on his legs.
I was also recommended Avi-Cal to give him for extra calcium.
I was told to put it into his water, so I have by what the bottle tells me. However, online it says to put it into his food. It is in his water at the moment, it is in a liquid form, not the solid form like it is online.
If anyone can tell me a bit more about this, on my bottle it appears as though it is given to birds that are to lay eggs.
Any information on it would be nice. Is it best in his food, or water?
Thanks :)

Question #6:

I am getting a budgie and have a few questions?

I am getting a blue and white baby parakeet. I do have some questions though so please be truthful about your answers.
1)What is a budgies daily diet. Isn't it like dried food fresh water and veggies also fruit? If so what kinds can and can't I give it?
2) I have cats... If I hang the cage up from the ceiling will that be a better place for it?
3) How often should they go to the vet? Also how often should I clip their wings.
4) What temperature can they survive in? where I live it gets really warm and really cold but we have a heater.
5) If I was going to teach my bird to talk would it be easier to teach it to whistle first?
6) I go to school for a while but when I am gone I was going to turn on a radio or my t.v. would this be okay for the bird. I do not want to give it a mirror because I want to have a very close bond with it. Will the mirror effect this?
7) I have a piano right near the cage and I play it a lot. How sensitive are they to sound?
8) Lastly how long do they live I heard they can live for a long long time but my friend said 2 to 3 years?
9) finally is there any more information that I urgently need to know? I have a large cage wide not to tall but it can be hung. I have the cuttle bone in the cage but have for about a year it has never been used but has been sitting out for A LONG time will it still be okay?
thanks for the answers

Question #7:

Could you tell me what is going on with my budgies? :S?

I own 4 budgies, but i seem to have a problem with two of them. There is my blue one, Sanna, and a yellow one, Bruni. However Sanna spends alot of time in the nest box these days, but suddenly Bruni comes along and starts to fight with it. But sometimes when Sanna is busy eating, Bruni tries to get into her nest box. This happens continuously and i don't nkow what is happening! Sanna started to bleed alot after having a fatal fight with the other budgie, but eventually it stopped.
I do not know what is going on, or what is happenning, is it eggs? or what? and also iam starting to get confused with the genders, so it would be great if you give me some information about that as well! I am looking forwards for your answers!:) x
Lately, i have looked into the next boxes, there seems to be no eggs, so it has nothing to do with the eggs. And thank you gor your comments, they helped alot, and i will try and upload a picture asap tto show you! :) x

Question #8:

My budgie bird will not stop?

...tweeting very loudly and consistenly. This budgie bird is not mine, it is my grandparents'. She has been alive for more than 2 years. Her cere is pink.

Although, since my family - my mother, brother, sister, and I - live in the same house (my family obtaining the upper, and my grandparents obtaining the warmer lower half), I take part in owning the bird. My grandparents went to the Caribbean four days ago, and I mostly take care of the bird.

However, recently, about 2 weeks ago, another budgie died from being flying into the back of the fridge and being squished. It was a terrible accident. Today, this morning she flew upstairs from her cage in the basement and into the rooms. I decided to bring her cage upstairs because I thought that she might need more interaction than I give her already. She settled on top of her cage and seemed fine. But, she from time to time tweets so loud and consistently. There is enough food and water. She has not gotten used to my company, therefore I cannot put my hand in front of her because she will move back or fly away.

Right now, she is on her cage which is on our (me and my family's) main table. That table has a chandelier with a bright light hanging over the table, and it is not over her cage. It is on the right side of the table while the cage is on the left side. A computer is front of her cage, but not close at all. I have put on music for her and I, which is like classical music. It is coming from the computer.

She has flown out of her cage before, which was 2 days after her friends death.

Because she is chirping very much and loudly, is she agitated? I am not very experienced budgies. I really hope she is not feeling harmed.

I apologize for the information overload. I am trying to include every important information in case of anything might pertain to this problem. Thank you in advance for the answers. I appreciate the effort and time put into them.

Question #9:

My budgie just layed an egg, what do i do now?

I have a male/female budgie. They (the female) just layed an egg inside their cage on the ground. What do i do now? Do i let them tend to it or do i step in and keep it warm? Do i need a heat lamp right away or how long do i have before there is damage? All information would be greatful! from this moment to the day they hatch.

Question #10:

Will my female budgie lay eggs?

Ive been keeping this American Budgie since late July and the male ones colour is a yellow-green combination and the female ones is a diluted yellow.. Last month i think ive seen my budgies mating,but as i went infront they immediately stopped. then last week at around 1pm I saw my budgies mating and they didnt stop as i went infront...it was like for 8 minutes. Later on the male started bobbing its head and kissing the female(it looked so romantic) then the male budgie went near the nest box frequently but ive never seen the female budgie go inside the nest box. And I think they have mated successfully but I see no eggs :( Are they just practising? What should I do to make her lay eggs? Cover up the cage with bed sheet 24/7? Feed any sort of special food or veggies? provide straw inside the nest box or a soft cloth? or should i keep the nest box totally empty? Please answer the following questions or provide any information from your bird breeding experience. THANK YOU ALOT :)
My female budgie is mature and im sure of it because its cere is off white with a 2% of light brown and its eyes are grey with a black iris and the male is mature cause its cere is blue and its eye is completely black with no shades of grey, though i think its mature since he was the one mating

Question #11:

I feel like my budgie is bored when I am at school and hes alone at home. Is there any toys I should buy him?

He is a very cute, happy bird and he chirps a lot! He sings and looks like he enjoys life. But when I leave, it seems like he gets sad and bored. Is there any toys I could get him to entertain him? He already has a bell and a mirror, a perch, he's fed an appropriate amount everyday, I love my budgie. Is there any toys for him? He is currently about 4 or 5 months old. He is singing right now and chirping to "Sexy and I know it" by LMFAO. He learned to meow awhile ago, just trying to give you information so we can find the right toy for him. Oh, and he LOVES his bell! Thanks...please reply!

Question #12:

Is Trill Budgie food any good?

Just baught a box today, and my budgie seems to like it but I was just wondering if it is as healthy as the information on the box says it is. Thankyou xx

Question #13:

Can every one who knows about the budgie (bird) tell me all the foods it can eat and other info?

I have a female albino budgie bout a year and a month old need to know all the foods it can eat and other information on budgies

Question #14:

Can i keep a Parakeet/Budgie in my bedroom?

The flooring is carpet, I have no allergies even to the dust they set off, But unfortunately my mum has a Cat patrolling the house, Normaly the cats outside during the day while everyones at work and inside when everyone's at home...
(Hence the main reason why i wish to keep it in my bedroom knowing it will be secure at all times.)

Is there any other information / problems i should know about having a Parakeet/Budgie in my bedroom?

Question #15:

which size cage is suitable for a budgie?(pictures included)?

Click Here - small, medium or large?
and any general information will be helpful:)
thanks!

Question #16:

I think something is wrong with my budgie?

I know, like everyone says; if you notice something different then there is a problem. But here is what happened:

My darling budgie, whom I love dearly and would do anything in the world for him, has been acting quite strangely. Not too strangely, though. He is eating pretty well, today he ate a few strips of lettuce and broccoli. I didn't see him drink because I was doing homework (Stupid homework..) and now I finally realized that whenever he lifts his foot to scratch something in the head area, he scratches his nose. Like, always scratching his nose. I saw something I never saw in my life experiences; water coming out of his nose. It was for a few seconds, and he made a water-like sound, opening his beak and closing it for a few minutes. Is there anything I should be worry about? Please, I can't bring him to the vet right now because it is 11pm and my dad won't drive me to an animal hospital. He's sleeping and I don't really rely on him. I give my birds daily check ups by myself, and I know what I am doing. I check their "vent". All clear. Their ribs; healthy and strong. ETC ETC ETC. But I have not experienced this before, the runny nose. I have owned parakeets for three years. I hope I gave helpful information if not.

Question #17:

is a budgie a good pet for me?

i have a dog and a cat. i would keep it in my room, up high, and close my door when im not there to keep my cat away from it. everyone in my household is against time getting one, and they said that i would truly have to prove to them that they are good pets. they are concerned about numerous things. one would be noise, is the noise level very high, even if i had many toys to keep it occupied? what do i need to do to keep the noise down? another thing is the mess. would it be a very messy animal to have in a room, or would it be okay, as long as i cleaned it every day, or every other day? the main thing that they are worried about is disease, can budgies carry diseases humans can get like cancers? the other problem is what time i would have to spend with my bird. i have school, and then i have sports. i would have 3-4 hours to spend time with it if i get it out during my homework, and study time. is this not enough time? on the weekends i would have all day to spend time with it. another question is the expense. are they very expensive? about how much for all i would need including a cage? the last problem is that we do not know any breeders in the area. i did up to 8 hours of research, studying different deseases they can get, and what a healthy bird looks like. if i watched out for all of these things, and got information, would it be okay to buy it from a pet store like uncle bills, or petco? should i get its wings clipped?why or why not? is there anything else i need to know, or any other precautions i should know about before getting this bird? oh! and how big do these birds get up to? how big of a cage should i get?

Question #18:

I Need Information on Scarlet-Chested Parrots.?

I'm thinking about buying one. But I need a few questions answered first.

1. Are they loud and/or destructive?
2. What do they eat?
3. Will it attack my budgie? Could I just separate them?
4. I hear they don't like to be handled. Can I still have him perch on my hand or shoulder?
5. Are they very difficult to tame?
6. Do I need a license for one in Australia?

Question #19:
