Hi I have just joined cause Im not sure if there is something wrong with my budgie. He/she is about 15mths old, had a bright blue cere when we got him but it gradually has turned pale crusty/flaky brown but now over the last day or so has turned dark brown and is smooth and tonight when we got him/her out, she was really abnormally affectionate and nice and wanting attention. Normally she is cranky and quite aloof and bitey. Is something wrong? Do budgies get jealous? We have just got a new puppy who is getting lots of affection from us and it really seems as though the bird is jealous! Am i crazy? Any info would be great. thanks.
