    No feather is safe from the moult - the large ones will collect at the bottom of the cage, and many of the smaller, downy feathers will drift across your furniture and floor!

    My 3-year-old budgie must be going through an extra uncomfortable molt because he's not playing or chattering, and sleeps a LOT--very unlike his usual self. His head is covered with pinfeathers. My budgies love it when I vacuum the floor: they try to compete LOUDLY with the vacuum!
    Edit: One of my other budgies lost all of his flight feathers on one wing during his last molt, which has never happened before. I had to keep him caged until they grew back because he couldn't fly and crashed into the wall. 5/14/22

    I've had budgies for 6 years now and I'm a bit of an overworrier, sadly.
    My oldest bird (he's 6), was pretty beat yesterday, started molting and had a bit of diarrhea. Thankfully the diarrhea is gone today and while still a bit beat, he's much fitter.

      Does your parakeet get moody and miserable during melting? Mine is going through his molt (he is about 8 months old) and he is always fluffed up and quiet, when he normally is bouncing around and constantly chirping. I’m not sure if this is normal or if he is sick, he is my first bird and I am very worried I’m not doing something correctly or anything

    Can you do a video about what you feed your budgies? I feed mine mostley pellets with a few seeds sprinkled in there and vegetables every now and then. My budgie also is always dropping feathers. Not large feathers just little bundles of white fluff? He has three or four or even more on the bottom of his cage every morning. And how did you get you budgies to eat so many different vegies and fruits? My budgie normally takes a bite and then ont eat anymore. His favorite foods are garpes and apples but I know these are high in sugars. Any advice? Thanks

I take him out every day and since I am homeschooled I sit with him next to his cage all day? He is sweet and happy and even says some words but I'm just worried about his nutrition. His feathers don't look as smooth or as bright as our budgies? He particularly likes to eat grapes and apples but I know green foods are the best. He just doesn't like them very much. Any advice from you or ur fans? btw ur videos are super duper helpful I love them so much!

    We got our parakeet back in July and in the past month or so, his tail feathers looked odd and his wing feathers did not seem to be growing. We took him to the bird farm where we got him from where they said his tail feathers were broken and they removed some of them. There was a very long one that was bent at certain points which they said will come off on its own which it did. But his tail still looks all weird and not one straight sort of look. His wing feathers are also growing unevenly. His flight feathers still haven't come out on one side. I heard they molt first at 12 weeks old and his head doesn't seem to have any sharp edges to it or anything. What's wrong with him?
    Also when we first got him, my little sister noticed two long feathers that came out, and he was about 12 weeks old when we got him. I also see him constantly playing with his feathers but he's not depressed. He happily comes out and plays with us. He was sitting on me once and he fanned out his tail pretty far and I could see all the way to where they attached.

I put a nesting box in their cage recently and they both spend most of their time in there. They don’t do anything in there but sit and find it safe. The female had chicks about 5 months ago with another male. So even though the female kisses and spends her time with the new male, nothing more has happened. Does anyone think they might breed?

I saw no feathers shedding the day after. Is this also considered MOLTING? He looks a bit feverish and feet are warmer than usual. But he is pretty active. Coz it's only one day that I have seen him shedding feathers. We don't have good vets near by and I'm concerned. 😔

      I don’t know how to get him to bathe, he doesn’t like water. Every now and then I spray water on him, and it seems to work. My budgie is about 8 months old and he is my first bird.
      To get him to bathe, I spray some water on him, not that he enjoys it.
      He also doesn’t like fruit, but I try to give him variety. Some carrot, banana, apple, greens, strawberries... if he still isn’t eating any of it, then maybe try to put part of it in your mouth, and let him pick at it. That is how I got my budgie to eat fruits. Also, you can put treats and seeds in there for him to eat, and maybe he will get curious about the fruits and veggies
      For training him, find some treats he likes. That will make him more motivated, and choose his favourites when doing something new. Above all, be patient. I was upset when he was scared of me, but now I am super happy, and I think he is too (he is moulting, not at the moment :< )
      try and make his favourite fruits and veggies treats aswell maybe. I am new to this, but this is what I’ve found.
      Sorry this is so long 😅

      voldy it’s totally ok! If he doesn’t like to bathe try making the water a little warmer. My budgie Hates baths too so I have to spray him. Also when you feed him fruits and veggies try drying them off and make sure they aren’t wet. My budgie won’t eat anything wet! :3 and maybe put him on ur shoulder and eat infront of him. Sneak some in his food dish I recommend dark green vegetables to start ur bird off with like spinach and kale

    my parakeet has some abnormal feathers on his back, not wing feathers but the soft white ones and they're growing kinda long and sticking out of his body. he's also not playing much and isn't very active anymore. He is molting, but his body and back feathers are sticking out of him while also overgrown. He's also preening which doesn't make much sense. Any suggestions?

    My parakeet for some reason runs from side to side as of considering something when I touch the side of their cage, and one always tries to eat her feathers
