okay so No pellets? They get all the same soft food as the normal budgies.

okay Thankyou. Currently they are in a cage by themselves, all feeding dishes are on the ground. I took them to fthe vet yesterday and he trimmed the beaks and showed me how. He also reccomended feeding them pellets instead of bird seed, they are softer so they would be easier to eat for them. I have never used pellets before.

Thankyou KAZ. My birds are in a small cage by themselves because they would never make it in a small avairy. I did not know french moult birds get overgrown beaks and other problems. Have you ever had french moult birds similar to mine? Overgrown beaks, dont eat much, dirty vents all the time? Etc... Any advice on what I should do what be greatly appreciated. Thankyou very much.

Ive found out that the birds have Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD)- Quote taken directly from this site: http://www.avianbiotech.com/diseases/pbfd.htm Causes fatal infections, primarily in young birds. Older birds may overcome the disease with few lasting affects. Some believe that these surviving birds become carriers able to shed the disease at a later date. Others believe that a percentage of birds are able to eradicate the disease from their system leaving them with a natural immunity that can be passed on to their offspring. The virus that causes PBFD can also affect the liver, brain, and immune system causing diminished resistance to infections. Consequently premature death usually occurs from these secondary bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral infections. Symptoms include irreversible loss of feathers, shedding of developing feathers, development of abnormal feathers, new pinched feathers, and loss of powder down. Other possible symptoms include overgrown or abnormal beak, symmetrical lesions on the beak and occasionally nails. Immunosuppression, rapid weight loss, and depression are also possible in later stages of the disease. Now I've found out it can be transmitted between birds, so I have to isolate these birds now

The vet has trimmed the birds beaks and they look alot better, he doesnt know what is wrong with them. I dont really know either. They always have dirty vents, their toe nails and beaks keep growing, Their chirp doesnt sound like a normal budgies does and they dont eat much at all compared to most budgies. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thankyou very much all. I bought a new camera today. It is alot better than my old one, but it can only hold 4 photos :rofl: so I will have to get a memory card for it. Does anyone lose birds to the heat? Today one of the younger birds in the avairy died, but has no visual signs of a disease/illness. So I'm wondering if its because of the heat? The avairy is insulated and I spray it with water every couple of hours.
