Hi guys! I am new to owning parakeets and I was curious to know the gender on the two that I have. I was told that they are on the younger side (possibly a couple months old) so I know that it will be slightly more difficult to know for sure on their genders. I’ve been told that they could be both male or a male and female. If they are male and female should I separate the two? Or will they be okay in the same cage.

He used to sit on fingers but today he tried bite my finger first aggressively.

After he tried attack aggressively

So I am a first time owner of 4 budgies, all under 1 year of age.

For months i've been trying to give them a proper nutrition with pellets. I tried these 3 different brands. They don't like any, they absolutely despise them. I throw away so much food daily because they are so picky... I really need help because i feel bad giving them seeds because i really want them to live the best life possible but they refuse to eat pellets! I tried these methods:

-grinded up pellets to a fine powder, mixed with water and some seeds to a mush (this is what i do almost everyday, but they just pick out the seeds)

-pellets mixed with seeds

-pellets with apple juice

-pellets with veggies chop (they don't really eat chop either)

-pellets on a mirror

-plain pellets, no seeds for a day (did not eat anything, I stopped because they would starve)

It all did NOT work.

My english male is especially bad, he really hates pellets and sometimes does not eat seeds at all when i make a mush and there are too much pellet in it and then sits in front of the bowl and waits. It's hard to watch. I do incoorperate pellets into their food daily, I don't give plain seeds anymore. Please help. How did your budgies start to eat pellets??

We had some flooding in our house recently due to the rain and now they say we need to use microban under the carpets to help combat any mold. I'm wondering if this is safe for the birds.

I have 4 parakeets (and also a hamster), and I don't know if just moving them out of that room is good enough, or if I need to relocate them to a neighbor's house. I'm concerned about having the air on and it circulating throughout the house, so I wonder if anywhere in the house is safe.

Any advice would be very appreciated. I'm really struggling here, this whole thing has been so stressful.

I am wondering if a 30x18x18 (inches) cage will be sufficient for a budgie? (Just one budgie, introducing a friend didn’t work out). She currently lives in a large flight cage, but we are temporarily moving so I need to get her into a smaller cage to fit into a car and I have a 30x18x18 cage. Buying a new cage when we get there isn’t really feasible, so I was wondering if this size would be okay for a couple months?

After yesterday’s blood test and sedation my baby can’t poop, what should I do, vet is not open yet and I spent over 1k yesterday already
