Mary W. relates:

One of my budgies (male 2 years old) got a crop infection late Jan.

He was plucking at his abdomen.

The vet put him on antibiotics and had to keep him at the vet clinic for a week as my brother had a heart attack & died and the friend that I had taking care of my birds could not catch him (fully flighted) to give him meds.

When I got back 10 days later and picked up my guy from the vet-all of his chest feathers were gone!

I figured that once I got him back to his flock he would be ok.

What is The Recipe for Your Perfect Parakeet Blend Seed Mix?

I misplaced the recipe for the combination of the seed mixture you had for parakeets.

Using Hagens clay, greens, canary seed, parakeet seed.

My budgies really like that combination and I need to make more.

Hope you can help.

Georgia P. asks:

Is it absolutely necessary that my budgies be let out of the cage? One got out twice and was out 3 hrs refusing to get near his cage.

Finally, I had to catch him and put him back.

Did everything to get him back in…treats, toys.

HELP!!!!!!

I have a real problem and need to fix it asap – doing what is best for both birds ……

I purchased what I hoped was a male for my pink eyed yellow female Flash.

“Tiki” turned out to be a female and right about that time I had to move in with my elderly mother who had 2 back fractures and the birds came with me.

I also have another bonded pair male/female but the male is very old and past breeding age.

Linda Kay asks:

Hello Catherine- wondering if you can help, maybe a suggestion, we know you can’t make a diagnosis.

We have a young (1 yr) female budgie that suddenly (overnight) became wobbly, has a hard time perching, tucks her head in her wing, and has lost interest in all budgies in the flight (12) even a best buddy.

Hello Mz Tobsing

I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.

Now I have a new problem or question, please.

I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.

The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.

All the cages sit on tables.
