Budgies can relax and tense up their crown, causing the feathers to fan and fluff out. This impressive display is a lot more prominent in Exhibition budgerigars whose crown feathers have more length than their wild counterparts.

In a nutshell, head feathers fluffing out demonstrating a frontal rise is what us exhibitors call blowing. Bigger and nicer the blow, more impressed the judges tend to be with our birds. Whoever shows off the best tends to win a lot of points!

Please allow Sparrow, Elwood and Butters to demonstrate a blow in order of best display to average.

Finally caught them on camera! 😂🥹😍

She ate beets 😋

I posted about our girl Jewel not long ago, we’ve finally got a second budgie.
This lovely fella (fingers crossed) is Nico.

Please tell me I was right in picking out a boy XP
Also I’m curious as to what color morph he may be?
He’s currently sitting in a quarantine cage in the room next to Jewel’s.

Is this vomiting? I got them less than a month ago. Will be taking her to the vet tomorrow morning. I’ve separated her from my other budgies. she’s done this thrice since yesterday.

I have two babies I just got a few days ago. Photos 2 and 3 are the same bird. The 3rd picture just had the flash on because I was just trying to get a better photo.

Can anyone help me identify if this is a boy or a girl?

I’m a beginner budgie owner and got this at a yard sale. I’m going to decorate it with toys and perches, but I was wondering if it’s okay as a temporary home for them. I recently found 2 abandoned and they were in a tiny cage much like ones you’d put a Guinea pig in… I’ll save for a bigger one if needed but saw this at a yard sale today. Is it alright?

If so LET ME SEE 😈

Mine is he is very cute and calm but he loves to tear my headphones

I just bought them a week ago. I just chose them because i like their colors

Hiya! Looking at information about ceres and things, but I’m still unsure if Sora is a girl or boy - I think girl? Any help is appreciated 🥰

Hi everyone,

I’m having a hard time taming/training my two budgies, and I could really use some advice from experienced owners.

• Female (blue and white): 9 months old
• Male (white): 6 months old

Here is the situation: The male will land on my hand only if I stretch it out to him. The female rarely lands on me, and when she does, she immediately tries to fly away.

When they are together, both of them become much more hesitant around my hands. Their default reaction is to fly up to the top of the wardrobe or bookcase to keep their distance from me.

What puzzles me is that I’ve had them for months, and earlier on, they were actually more friendly and allowed me to pet them a bit. Lately, however—especially the female—they are constantly looking for ways to get away from me.

Could you share any tips or step-by-step advice on how I can re-train them, rebuild trust, and get them more comfortable around me?

Note: Gemini was used to help translate and correct grammar for this post.

I miss them a lot. I always mourn the fact that our time together have been short but they were so very loved. I'm trying to remember them in every way I can, and drawing them is one way I can do so.

Podrían ayudarme a identificar su sexo.

Los adopte y dijeron que eran 3 machos.

Quiero estar seguro!

I’m a first time budgie owner, these are my budgies phantom and sky, I got them about 6 days ago. Phantom on the right sky on the left.

Here’s Soup getting weighed at the vet, hope you folks are having a better day than poor Soup!

Update: So yeah the vet is keeping her overnight, it's worse than we thought, she has a stomach infection and a fatty liver, most likely caused by her stomach issues. She should make it but it's going to cost me 5x what I could barely afford... so yeah moral of the story, don't be a dumb ass like me, make sure you have a vet fund setup for your birds
