  1. Hi there. I'm on the lookout for a male Green hand raised baby budgie. We recently lost our budgie and we're missing the constant chatter in our home!! Can anyone help? I live in Camden. Thanks. Gen
  2. Thanks for your advice. Maesie, he doesn't get a lot of out of cage time, but we're not home very often, working full time, and busy with 3 kids, but i notice that he gets very excited when we get home, so I'm figuring he's very lonely. I'll see what happens when we get him a friend. Thanks again.
  3. Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, however I've had a budgie for a few years. My current budgie, Bluey, is about 3. For over 12 months now, he regurgitates on anything in his cage, especially toys put in the cage for him. If I take his toys out, after a couple of days he will regurgitate on either his cuttlebone, his water container and now he just regurgitates on the perch (a smooth tree branch with a slight bend in it - has been in his cage since we got him). At first I thought he may be ill, however it's been going on now for well over 12 months, and he is just fine. Not losing weight, no feather loss....just a seemingly happy budgie who talks a lot, eats, drinks, poops normally etc. I thought maybe he needed more company, so kept him inside with us more so he was not lonely. When this didn't work, I gave him more covered time from late afternoon to morning. Neither has worked. I'm thinking maybe he is lonely so am contemplating buying another budgie, a girl?, to keep at first in a separate cage next to him, and will then after quarantine, introduce him to the other cage (so he doesn't feel territorial with a new budgie coming into his own cage). Do you think maybe this will solve my problem? Or do you think maybe he will then teach the new bird bad habits? Is it best to put a female in with a male budgie, or doesn't it matter? I hope someone has experienced this strange behaviour and has some suggestions.......I'm sick of cleaning up this smelly mess!!
