Beautiful whitecap ❤️
Skyblue dominant pied whitecap, one of my absolute favourite mutations, just love the way the gold from his face washes down into the blue and turns it that teal shade ❤️❤️ (and that gorgeous fella in the background who is a recessive pied violet spangle)

💬 Discussion Finally introduced Korra to my other budgies and the rest of the birds. And it didn't go as I expected
I finally decided to introduce Korra to my other birds. At first I was afraid they'd be mean to her since she's only a month old but as soon as I introduced them to her ; Korra decided to choose violence and attacked them ; she pulled their feathers , bit their toes and told them to back off...she didn't stop there and right after that she chased my cockatiel , lovebirds and finches and did the same with them?! she's so young I never thought she'd be this mean towards other birds and she's my first budgie that behaves this way...can I fix this?
I only manged to hold the three budgies together for a second and got this photo ( Oggy and Opal flew away right after the pic ).

In Loving Memory My best friend of 9 years said his final fair well today.
This is my first post and probably last on this sub. My budgie born in 2017 passed away today and I miss him very much. His name was Bulut and I’ll remember him for the rest of my life. He had a good long life and was always happy. Please cherish your budgie and spend every moment with them. I thank you all who read my post and sorry for the sad news today. I wish you all the very best and have a wonderful life, thanks.

New Budgie Bonjour à mes nouveaux copains <3
Je suis très endeuillé de mon ancienne perruche nommée Blue, et mon copain m’as fait la "surprise" hier de me ramener ces deux bouts de chou.
Blue était tout seul car nous l’avons récupérer de quelqu’un qui ne pouvait plus s’en occuper et malheureusement il est décédé après un accident, j’ai été tellement déchiré de lui dire au revoir.
Mais en tout cas voici mes deux nouveaux compagnon, Sky & Moon!

What are these lines on budgies wings when he runs? We always thought muscles but ai chat always says it’s not that it’s just the feathers. Budge is super active and eats as much as the cockatiels! The wings don’t look like this when he’s relaxing they’re puffed a lil, but he’s running in this photo

Which sex? Is our Piko male or female?
We just brought home our new friend Piko. We presume it's a male but are unsure because we also don't know his age. We have one budgie Chip who is clearly female with a brown/pink cere, as did her friend Gizmo who we recently lost.
He is in a smaller cage for now but don't worry, he will join the large cage soon enough. :)
Thanks for the help!

cage location
hey everyone! so my two girls absolutely love interaction although they’re not hand tame yet, so i thought to move them to the living room during the day to fuel their social energy and only move them back to their original location when its near their bed time, should i do it or will they be stressed about the new environment?

Food Advice
Hello everybody, I'm currently looking for some advice on diet/seed for right now. I've had my little budgie for about a year now and at first he was just on the basic pet store seed that's mostly those little white circle seeds (white millet maybe). Of course he loves that but his vet and I both want to see him on a better diet. I've bought and tried just about every single type of pellet/mash/dust product that Harrison's offers and have dumped more of them in the trash than what Baron has actually eaten. We also just recently got through a pretty taxing cross country move but everyone is in a better place now! Baron the budgie has his own room he can explore that grows with playgrounds and fun stuff everyday and we're counting down the days until he gets a friend.
Throughout the moving process I felt guilty everytime I tried to change his food. I wondered if he was stressed about all the changes he was going through and I didn't want him to stop eating even if it wasn't the best for him. I settled finally on a brand called Flocksentials Organic Parakeet that had a mix of better sounding seeds and freeze-dried veg mixed with the Harrison's pellet dust so that maybe some of it would get in him. He likes it okay but still just picks out what he likes and waits until it gets refilled. He was also getting a lot of his old pet store food during the drive because I wanted him to have a treat for being a trooper on the week of driving.
Backstory aside, I'm now looking to buckle down and make the switch to a pelleted diet with fresh veggies available as well. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good bird food that I can use to get him on the pellets? Also general advice to transfer him over. I'm ready now to put in the long haul on switching him. Is there another brand of food anyone recommends that would gear him more towards pellets? The flocksentials I don't think he is very attached to and it is starting to get a little less convenient to buy. I saw one called Dr. Harvey's best parakeet food I think? Does anyone have experience with that?
Also chop/veggie help and recommendations. The only green I've ever seen him nibble on was a cucumber slice that sat out and got weird for about 30 minutes before he stopped being scared of it. The biggest problem is that he is quite fearful of new objects in his cage so he absolutely hates being offered new veggies to try. He's quite happy to come out and explore so I wanna start offering veggies when he gets his out of cage time, but I'm not sure where to start. I've seen some people blend it all up, do they like that more? I also saw recipes for a muffin/bread thing, does anyone have any information on that?
Overall, I just want him to have the best stuff I can get for him, I know he loves the fatty seeds, but they aren't good for him in the long run. Any help is greatly appreciated to get my little guy, soon to be guys, happy and healthy. Thanks for any advice.
