I don't have a problem with them, obviously i wouldn't use them if i did, i was just wondering if it was the source of the discoloured feathers.
Thanks for all your replies, i gave him a bath and problem solved!!!
Does anyone find the brightly coloured calcium/pedi perches stain or colour their budgies feathers? My budgie has white feathers around his face but they've turned a pinkish colour. He's not sick so the only thing i can think of is his bright pink perch that he loves to rub his face and beak over!
Thanks for you reply. He isnt doing it a lot just once every now and then usually when i have music on! His cage is huge and there is plenty of room for him to fly from perch to perch which he regularly does. Ive only hand him for barely 2 weeks so no he has not been out of the cage as yet as i am still getting him used to me and my hands.
I am wanting to start hand training my budgie. He doesn't like/isn't interested in millet, so I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas on treats that i could use for taming?
Thanks!
