Marlo & Charlie

Hi everyone this is an update and a question.. Charlie is doing Fantastic!He is very playful and is always parroting me! Also one question where have all my pics of charlie gone? Bye Marlo and Charlie

Yeah he's doing awesome but when when I got home on sunday I noticed that his tail feathers have gone brown at the end and on the ends of his wings and they look a little bit ratty. I don't know what this means.

Hey it's me Marlo and Charlie, Just wanted to give you an update on my baby boy.Well Charlie survived his first summer of 40+ degrees. Charlie is a funny little guy, he's started to say words like... what ya doing.. he'll say his name his wolf whistle has improved. We figured out why Charlie wouldnt talk! When he had his bells he could see something and didn't know what it was so he sat there kissing the bell and chirping away at this funny looking reflection.Charlie has also started to kiss me mum and my older sister. Bye Marlo and Charlie

Charlie has had new toys and loves them! he will hang upside down swing around. he'll hang upside down on his swing and will swing around in cirlces!LoL. Can budgies get dizzy? Also he'll be on the bottom of his cage and he will run around like mad!LOL!!!! Also charlie is definately a boy! I know that because ha can half wolf whistle and he meows also he'll make kissing noises!!! I have a concern about my baby boy! Everytime I pick him up it sounds like he's sneazing and whenever you go near him he makes the noise! Should I be worried? From Marlo and Charlie

No worries Liv

Hi Sorry I haven't been able to reply I have been tyed up with a massive project. Charlie is doing great he isn't making much noise, he is still really playful!and he is still boney but I think that is because he is so active!!LOL!!Well thanks for the food tips the trill is doing great but we still haven't tried the cockateil seed yet because it costs to much money.. Marlo

The home brand seed has got the red and orange colours in the mix of seed. The seed also has some flakey bits in it that are really smoothe and make your fingers really smoothe and funny so I'm deffinatley not going to buy it again.

Well charlie is about 8 weeks I think. We have only just got him fruit. We feed him apples. Also what other fruits can you give birds?

My mum said once the home brand runs out we will go back to the trill. what is the best stuff to feed baby budgies?

Well, Charlie is always full of energy!!LOL!! We feed him the home brand of food. But we have lately notice that he is picking at his food not eating it!He is eating his food but not much of it!! His poos are a light green with the white dot in the middle. I'm not sure what the sndwich maker is made of. I will tell you when I ask my mum.

Well everyone, Charlie has been fine mum said and if he gets worse I will try the Bepanthen. We haven't dunked his feet in the cool water. Mum had a look at his last night and they don't look to bad!!! Which is good but I will keep you updated on how he is going!!

How do you bathe a budgies feet?

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right spot. Today I let Charlie out to show some friends. My older sisiter had a sandwich maker on and STUPID me didn't put him back in the cage instead I let him fly around . The people I was showing him to were only young and started chasing him as I was trying to get him back in his cage because he was scaring my older sister ( she hates birds!!). He got really scared and landed on the sandwich maker!!! Once he landed on it he flew staight off and landed on the table and started picking it his feet ( mum and I have noticed this before but he was really stuck into them). Once I caught him I put him back in his cage and he started making a really loud noice ( screaching and chirping). When mum got home I told her what happened and she pulled him out and had a look at him to see if he was badly burnt. He didn't look to badly burnt. While mum was looking at him she noticed his chest was still really boney and he doesn't have much flesh on him. Anyway, When mum was looking at him I noticed that some of his tail feathers were a little brown from landing on the sandwich maker. When Charlie landed on the sandwich maker as I said he flew off and landed on the table I caught him and as I picked him up he started screaching when he walked up my arm. Now I am really worried about him because we can't tell how bad he was burnt!!! Should I take him to the vet and get him checked out? Marlo

Thank you so much Maesie!!!!! Now I know how to keep my baby bird safe from the household toxins and everything else!!!! Thanks once again!!!

Oh okay, How can you tell wheather it is budgie friendly? What sort of rope do you use? the plastic sort or the other kind?
