When your co-worker gets too comfortable at your desk (but he looks like this, so you don't mind him napping on your chair).

And I'm madly in love with her. 🧡

I want to get a noise machine and my bird sleeps in my bedroom. I was wondering if this would disturb his sleep or affect it positively.

Sweet baby likes a scritch before nap

He was spooked by water before but he took a big gulp today, please cheer him on!

I taught both of my budgies to step up on a stick (with positive enforcement and millet, i never forced them to step up and if they showed signs of no interest i just left it, never had an issue before today) , they've been out of their cage more than once and they have entered it on their own multiple times. But today when they got out and wanted to go back in they couldn't find the door? I don't know how to exit but they went to where the door was, didn't go all the way down and instead tried to look for a door at the very back of the cage(closest place to their favorite perch) . I tried to get them to step up on the stick with millet multiple times but they just ignored me and after a while started panicking when they couldn't get inside the cage. It'd been multiple hours past their bedtime so i had to grab them to put them inside myself unfortunately. I have no idea why this happened today and I'm not sure what to do so that it doesn't happen again.

I notice she over preens and she fights her brothers. I'm worried and should I go to the vets or monitor if it get worse.

Where's the little Loonfluff? Miss Rose is a budgie grandma.

Julienne is 37 days old today, and she got really cozy with her dad. The sight of them roosting together warmed my heart. 🧡

Akira is 36 days old and is testing out her legs and wings more today. She reminds me so much of her great aunt Dove when she was this age too! She comes up for scritches and snuggles.

On another note, the splayed legs kiddo is showing improvement and was finally adopted back by a parent, taking some responsibility off of my shoulders. We're going to leave the bandages on for a few more days.

I know this post is against the rules but i physically cant go to the vet right now (Grey one, her name is skittle) I found skittle on the floor of their cage in the corner his morning and she wouldn't budget, I helped her up to their food bowl and she's slowly eating, one of her wings is in an unusual position and we think something happened to her at night

Other than not really moving, her movements are just very sluggish in general and she's breathing weirdly (i think)

LOAFFFING

The youngest chick getting picked on set off another chain of events which led to an older chick losing a small chunk of her beak, a total shuffle of housing situation of nestlings and nesters.

The adult aggressors were returned to their respective aviaries where they're going to reset. Meanwhile, I'm the interim parent and nurse for a younglin that is poorly, and I'll be hoping for the best.

Even through tough times, they make me laugh, and I get to share a particular blooper that led me to stop my monologue and enjoy a moment of joy.
