This year for the budgie’s hatchdays, I’m sharing videos. Gordie the Gold Star Budgie: Gordie was an older budgie. We never really knew how old he was. We were his third (possibly fourth) home. His last owner estimated him at five, but he could have been (and we suspect he was) much older. When we picked up Gordie, he only had one toy in his cage – a yellow mirror. During Gordie’s quarantine, he just sat on his perch looking at himself in his mirror. He didn’t play with his new toys, move around much or call out to the other budgies. He wasn’t finger tame (but would sit on our shoulders). Hi ..read more

On March 7th of this year, we said goodbye to our little Emmy. I wasn’t ready to post about it until now – first Cooper, and then Emmy. 2024 has not been the best year for our flock. Emmy had started to throw up, so we took her to our avian vet. They ran some labs, and put her on antibiotics until the results came back. They suspected avian gastric yeast. She started losing weight and was listless and poofy, even though she was still eating. So we took her back to the vet. She spent two days/nights there while they tube fed her, treated her and tried to find out what was wrong. Xrays showed ..read more

World Parrot Day was started by the World Parrot Trust in order to raise awareness that parrots in the wild need protection. In a perfect world, all birds would be free.

If you would like to learn more about how you can help, you can visit the World Parrot Trust site here ..read more
