She is eating well now, and she is even more enthusiastic about coming outside the cage for a fly around the room (when she really used to just hang back in the cage while Bluey was around the room). Lets just hope she continues on this road.

On saturday morning, I found that bluey had passed away over night. She had been sick that week, we took her to the vet, and had been giving her the medicine but I guess she lost the battle with it. I completely cleaned out the cage, and changed the water and seed for Tweety. At first she ate a little a few hours after I had removed Bluey, but she hasnt been eating at all since then. She just sits at the same part of the cage. I don't really want to have to introduce a new bird to her as some family members don't want a replacement for Bluey. Any advice on how I can help her eat and get past this sad time?

I am worried about my two budgies. I noticed one day that bluey when standing still was slightly shaking. Then a few days lately Tweety was doing it too. Tweety doesn't do it too much, and it only happens when they are sitting still. I think it may be a cold or something? What do you guys think?

Do they feed eachother after meals? If so the problem is to do with cage size or shortage of food containers. If not, your budgies don't like eachother or one is a bully.

Hide it before Jimmie gets there first. Once it has bonded to u, introduce it every so often and it will think "Ooh you bring me the cool toy "

It is actually shocking what they pick up. Tweety the first knew alot of phrases, but she also picked up some of my Dad's football chants and when I heard her, I was like Oh my god. Really does show you the benefits of having them in the main room of the house.

Yea, there may not be fighting now. But in my own experience when they are in breeding mode, they may have mood swings (Laughing out loud). If I was you, I would consider adopting a new male?

Yeah, They are really tiny. Just lookng through these cages, I am seeing small indoor aviarys that could house quite few budgies and Its tempting me to get one. But family would get angry

Ah Okay, I'll keep looking for that perfect cage then :hap: . I'll keep you guys posted on my search.

Hm, It says for budgies on the selling information. And budgies like to be high up. Elly, What do you think of that cage? The cage dimensions of that new one are, HEIGHT 92cm LENGTH 46cm WIDTH 36cm Oh and you give the same link twice

Yeah, I will not get them until I have the best possible cage for them. I've been looking at this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QUALITY-BIRD-CAGE-BU...1QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah, The space has never really been a huge problem with them but I Tweety's cere is rather crusty at the moment, so she is in breeding condition. She is even mean with me aswell right now. She is really the one starting the fights. Also I forgot to tell you guys, That i'll be moving into a much larger room, so my two feathered friends will be joining me. I want to buy them a much bigger cage, but want to also purchase two males. How would they react to a younger male? And what cage dimensions would be best for 4-6 budgies

Yeah. I have Two seed spots and two water spots but they both seem to like the same spots as eachother which causes a dilema.

So I've got two females. Oh dear. They feed eachother at meal times but fight sometimes as well. What should I do to stop their fighting?

Here is a few pics I took today, I took one of Tweety for comparrison.

I have a before picture but I'll try and get an after one up for tomorrow.

I've had Bluey and Tweety from late november. Tweety's cere has always been like brown and has gone crusty. At the beginning Bluey's has been blue. They were preening eachother alot. Lately they hav been fighting but do feed eachother at meal times. Then I noticed Bluey's cere changed to a very light brown. So are they both females? And how can I stop this fighting.

Yea they do

I have strong lungs. I think I will just be hoovering more regularly?

I want to move my 2 budgies from the living room, into my bedroom. The reason for this is because my nephew and nieces keep pestering them and I know if it keeps up, the budgies will bite them. I am in my bedroom more often than the living room although its a small room. Do you think it would be okay to move them or do you think they'll panic?

They are both 22 weeks old. I don't mind the nibbling but its just those odd moments when they bite hard, its hard not to pull away.

They both having been biting, well nibbling even, on my fingers. Its unpainful at most times, but sometimes they would nibble too hard. Do you think I should worry about stopping it and if so how ?

Had another wierd inncident. One minute they were both having a go at eachother and the next minute, they were kissing, he was grooming her and she was feeding him, so I am confused.

Bluey had his first outing today. He seemed to enjoy sitting from picture frame to picture frame, and it was quite hard to get him back into the cage. The main reason I decided to do it today, is to see the other bird's reaction due to the fighting. When she realised he was not in the cage, she started jumping around her, cage, chirping, squealing and flapping her wings. And he responded to her calls. And when I tried to bring her out, she was having none of it.

I Don't think its to do with the space as there is plenty of places in the cage where they can go to get away from eachother. Most of the fighting takes place however on the highest perch. Bluey is Male, Tweety is Female. They are both around 21 weeks old
