The World's Ugliest Budgie Tail

Featured Replies

Posted

I love my budgie Pat. He's a shy boy, so most of the time he doesn't mind me. But all of the sudden he has these outbursts of "Oh man I'm so happy!" and comes to see me to munch on my glasses and hair (and bite my nose. What was THAT for?!)

 

But MAN does he have an ugly tail! He never could grow a sturdy one for some reason! Look at that!

Always that messy and broken! It just never gets pretty! Whenever he gets a long tail feather after a moult, a week later it's broken. :X It can hang there after his rear for another week until it falls.

 

Got any birds with ugly tails? :(

:ygbudgie: Oh dear, it doesn't look too bad, does he have a good sized cage so he isn't bashing it all the time? One of my cockatiels has the same problem and I don't get it at all!!! :(

He lives with his girl... Bud has a pretty tail, never broke a feather... So I don't get it either. I don't think it's the cage. :mellow:

 

...Unless they're getting beaten around too much? :(

what are your budgies's diets?

Well... seeds mostly. Apples when they're not picky... But it's hard to feed them anything special, they're more interested in destroying the veggies and fruits. :\ They think it's a toy.

I think they ate it all then whoops, nope, it's just that the whole vegetable is in tiny pieces all over the carpet!

I think your budgie carries french moult .
What's that? Is it bad? o_o
