I had 7 budgies however by this evening I will have 6. I noticed my blue budgie had a really bad cut across his chest. Unfortunately he is past help, his chest is so badly cut. The only reason I can think how this has happened is because we put a few branches from a euculaptis tree into the cage, I feel he must have snagged himself on one of the branches. I have certainly been reading the FAQ and other sections of this community, there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained and I really am enjoying all the comments. I will have to learn how to put a photo up of my flock for you all to see. Link to comment

Are you sure it was the branch that did it ? Might be a good time to check the aviary over for bits of wire and also check for signs of blood on other budgies, the tree branches and various areas around the aviary. Happy to have you here Link to comment

I have checked all the cage and also the other birds and I cannot find any wire and no blood on the other birds, so it remains a mystery. Bluey passed away at 3.00 this afternoon. I am wondering Kaz is it not advisable to put branches into the cage? Link to comment

Be very aware that if it WAS the branch, that budgies do some very silly things at times and have a few "freaky" accidents. This would be unusual and not likely to be a common thing to happen. It just makes you more aware of "possible" hazards and you tend to search for the accidents that may occur in the future. It makes you a little paranoid in a sense, but that can be a good thing. PS sorry about the passing of your budgie Link to comment

I'm sorry to hear of your loss :sad: . If it was the brach that caused the injury, what I do is sand or file the sharper or 'knobbly' parts on the branches down a little bit. It won't prevent accidents from happening, but I think it makes it just that little bit safer. Link to comment

Especially if the injury was bad enough as to be fatal. Welcome to the forum, sorry about your loss. Link to comment

I purchased another budgie today(bluey 2). I was amazed that the brother of the deceased budgie immediately came up to my new bluey and really gave him a welcome, the poor thing could not move all afternoon without being preened (hope I have spelt that correctly)and kissed. Love at first sight for sure. We often have magpies, black birds and sparrows, however we have not sighted a hawk. Because of the extent of its injury I am beginning to think may be it wasn't a branch. Link to comment

But a few losses due to illnesses soon make us think about it. I have lost birds through illness when I did not quarantine Link to comment

A huge photo came up when I pasted it in. I then tried and I thought resized it however I failed again, I then had no idea how to place the name Zenie into it (as Kaz did if you scroll back to the 21st Dec). I know you will be able to fix it however I would really like to know how to do it myself, should I want to change it at any time. When you fix it Nerwin how do I place the signature in when I post a message . Sorry to be a pain. Sorry about the size of this however I need your help.
