I have just lost Chip the father and partner of my other budgies a few days ago. His partner Lola is still sitting in the corner of the cage and Chip jnr he is the splitting image of his father is still been nasty to the others and to me he was guarding Chips body.

Do you think there is anything I can do to help them or will they grieve for awhile. They have all been to the vet and had bloods taken at my request and everything came back clear.

 

Just worried

"Depressed" budgies and stressed budgies can very soon become sick budgies. I would add some calcivet to their water ( it has a glucose base and helps ) and I would make sure their cage is warm....i.e. a lamp nearby. Moulting aid in their soft food might also help as it provides some very useful additional vitamins.

Thankyou Karen. I have got some calcivet I will start that straight away and moulting aid I will have to go buy tomorrow.They have a lamp I use it when the days are cold or anyone is fluffed up seems to be a cure all.

 

Thanks

Kaz gave you great advice.

((hugs)) again on the situation

I would also keep an eye on them because if Chip even though they have been passed by the vet you just never know what could pop up but I am very glad they have been cleared.
