Onix is a very stout looking bird at just 37 days of age. He sports an impressive demeanour alongside his gothic look as an Anthracite budgerigar. I'm liking him a whole lot more than I liked his father Nox at the same age - especially the longer mask.

He'll definitely have a spot on my show team in 2027. Whether he places in the bench or not, I'm sure he'll make me very proud.

His younger siblings don't stand out as much as he does, but I'm pretty stoked about his Mauve sisters.

Love my baby!

I’ve had Winter for years and still don’t know the sex. I’ve been calling them “gender neutral” bird 😭

I got my two budgies about 4 months ago. They're the first birds I've ever owned and I was beyond excited to take them home.

No one warned me about how unbearably cute they would be. No one warned me about how small and adorable they are. No one warned me that they'd be so cute that I wouldn't even care if they used my hands as chew toys. No one warned me about their cute little beaks, their tiny little toes, their funny little tongues. No one warned me about how they use their beaks like hands to help them climb. No one warned me about their beautiful eyes. No one warned me about their soft little bellies. No one warned me about how precious and sweet their constant happy chatter is. No one warned me that they "talk" in their sleep and how it's so cute I could die. No one warned me about how unique their personalities are. No one warned me that I could feel such a deep and pure love for two 50g little birds, and no one warned me that it would happen instantly.

No one warned me and I feel scammed because they've stolen my heart.

Why must they bathe themselves in this wayyy

I think they are both boys? One is a pretty sky blue and the other is a turquoise color, very bright color. Not sure about blue, but turquoise looks to be male. I'm still trying to come up with names. They're very quiet but I just brought them home yesterday, and they're settling in to new digs and better food!

In order : 1. Korra 🤍 ( 2.5 months old ) 2. Gumball 🩵 ( 1.5 year old ) 3. Pedro 🩵 ( 6 years old ) 4. Opal 💜 ( 5 years old )

He’s getting more comfortable with his environment 😊

This is Yoshi Wu. Named after Yoshi from Super Mario and Master Wu from Ninjago.

If you give your budgies middle names, let me know!

May he rest in peace

He had a wonderful life

2025-2026

Thought my baby (Yuki) was a male when i got him, but now i think that "he" might be a "she". Seems like the cere is kinda white. I have a lutino too (Ravi), but it seems more obvious on him that he's a he lol. Also, the one pic of yuki was after drinking and eating so thats whats on his or her beak lol. Also also, pin feathers! Noooo! You can see them on (Sprite). Poor boy. Just got their shower in from amazon today so tomorrow ill give it to them to get the top of their heads wet. They have been trying to groom each other too thankfully. They dont want me to do it lol. Pretty sure this is their 1st molt so i guess that would make them around 4ish months? But back on track. Male or female? 🤣

excuse their messy cage, they're still adjusting to their pellet diet so they still dig through looking for seeds.

but link was able to get a bit of flying in :) i was able to get him to fly even further than this but i wasn't recording.

zelda was able to as well, but only for a little bit, still a bit nervous.

also if anyone has any toy/enrichment ideas for these guys please let me know. i have a lot of hanging toys for them but feel like the bottom is so boring !!

Koi is unhappy at his bed time being disturbed by my incessant desire to take his picture

No matter what I chop up for Comet, Dazzle, Sparkle and Star I am unable to intrigue their interest in even trying the mixture of finely chopped carrots, celery, small leaves of lettuce and cabbage. However, when I place
sprigs of small celery stalks they are all over it and also rub their back against the celery stalks. What else could I try so they will have a balanced meal of veggies?

They had the best weekend since Spring's water intrusion then 94 days of wildfire smoke, thanks to 5 major purifiers-Rabbit A3's and Austins! Here's Bobie Bobo and Opie Bird napping.

Opie napped on my finger with head tucked today, and really connected with my Emflish & bird singing today! Hes been through a lot since I got him January 14th.

I think he's fully recovered from the breeder's ID band injury. Yay! Next I equipped a room for prescribed forest burns.
