Hiii everybody!! I really need help!

I found a very young baby sparrow on the concrete, lying in direct sunlight. I brought him home because he was barely feathered and seemed way too young to be on his own ( With my mother, we first thought he was dead, then he moved a paw)

I gave him a little water with a pipette, and I soaked some cat kibble in water until it became very soft and diluted because he is so young. This isn't the first time I've rescued a bird, but this time I'm really worried because he is extremely young and has barely any feathers.

My mother has tried contacting animal associations, but unfortunately, no one is answering.

I know that baby sparrows should mainly be fed insects at this age, but there aren't any stores near me that sell them, and I don't know what I can safely give him in the meantime.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to keep him alive and care for him properly until I can find a wildlife rehabilitator. I really want to do the right thing and give this little guy the best chance possible. :(

Thank you so much for any advice ♡

my blue budgie and sometimes my green one keep bitting their feet constantly, i’ve given them perches that are real wood and other sizes along with a dowel perch on the bottom of the cage, i’ve been using a vinegar and water solution to clean their perches, google told me that they could possible have bumblefoot and I am just worried, all advice is welcome even if not related to issue

(p.s i know their nails are ridiculously long and i will get them cut as soon as possible as i am inexperienced and no vet is available this week, their pet store budgies so i expected less healthy conditions)

I think he’s (honestly, should I just say ‘she’ at this point?) finally going through his first molt, so he’s been losing a lot of feathers this week, including this wing feather. It looks frayed most everywhere though, and I’m afraid for him. Is he overpreening/underpreening himself? Does anybody know what this means? I’ve tried looking it up, but am not quite certain as to what it’s the victim of. Thanks.

Any bird boarding centre in Dubai or Sharjah? Pointers pls

My 70 days old lovebird is doing this sometimes I'm worried

been on milk thistle and low fat seeds diet for some time (couldnt get him to eat pellets still trying)

is there some improvement visible? will get an x ray after 2-3 months (first photo is 4-5 years ago, second and third photo is a month ago (diagnosis) last photo is today)

Long story short I found a baby sparrow, Humane society nor Salthaven (both places in my city that would take in animals) can take it in and I don’t know what to do. It didn’t fall out of the nest naturally, the nest had gotten destroyed by construction. Its sibling died but one is still alive. Please help I feel guilty to just let it die

Anyone's budgie done this ? If so what does it mean Our 5 month of budgie has been acting odd.He has been fluffing up and sleeping lots.

then we noticed him doing this. He is still eating and drinking but definitely not himself.

Feeders already taken down. My mind is spiraling & heart is broken so I’m looking for confirmation.

As the title implies, I’ve taken in these two birds from a family member who got them just to look at them. I’ve had them for a few months now and have made little progress in bonding (so frustrating!!), so it would be a bit difficult to physically examine them.

That being said, the one bird has been sleeping a lot more frequently in this position. From what I understand, birds are incredible at hiding illness until it’s too late. I believe they’re around 5 years old?

Am I freaking out over nothing or is this vet worthy? Thank you.

I’m looking at getting this Mcage double stack cage for my birds and wanted to see if anyone here has actually owned this exact cage or knows anything about it.

Mcage X-Large Durable Wrought Iron Double Stackers Breeding Bird Parrot Cage with 1/2” bar spacing. It’s listed on Walmart and is about $380.

The only thing making me hesitate is that the exact listing has very few reviews. It has a 4.8-star rating, but only 5 ratings and just one written review. The seller, ROWLAND DIRECT WHOLESALE, has over 600 reviews with a 4.1-star rating, and I’ve seen decent reviews on some of their other Mcage cages. I have seen 0 reviews or videos about this cage online and I don’t see it being sold anywhere but Walmart and UBuy.

I’ve looked at a lot of double-stack cages, but this one seems like a pretty good size for the price. I just want to make sure I’m not overlooking something before spending around $380 on it.
Thanks!

Our 5 month of budgie has been acting odd.

We noticed he been sleeping alot and fluffing up alot. He isnt acting himself. Then we seen him do this. I have him in a warm room. He is still eating and drinking. This behaviour is very different to how he usually is

Мой попугай странно дышит и пищит во сне, даже просыпаюсь от этого. У него скорее всего проблемы с печенью, так как есть темное пятно на клюве, я даю ему карсил уже 2 месяца, клюв на кончике начал немного светлеть. Попугаю 6-7 лет, он в последнее время стал агрессивным.

Что это может быть и как мне ему помочь?

Hello, i adopted this budgie 1,5 week ago but she doesn’t want to sleep until really late or not even. I have a night lamp on and tried with off but wont make difference.

My canaries just sleep good and no issues there. Any ideas?

Haven’t seen this guy before and I’m hoping he’s okay? Those look like holes on the side of his head? Newbie bird watcher here … concerned about avian pox.

My female parakeet has recently been seen eating usually. She ended up spitting back up a pellet which, when I looked, was covered in seed husks. She's been eating normally otherwise minus the fact shes now taking pellets from her dish, walking to another part of her cage, and eating them there along with occasionally spitting the food out onto a perch so she can continue to eat it. I'll put the video of her eating in the comments, I'm just a concerned bird parent and I don't currently have funds for another vet trip since the boy already went.

My 5 years old male budgie recently suffered from a cloacal prolapse. The prolapsed tissue managed to go back inside on its own, but right now, his cloaca area looks purple and swollen.

​I am very worried about infection or tissue necrosis due to the purple discoloration. He is also tail bobbing, and he cant fly which means he is having trouble breathing and is in pain. What should I do immediately to keep him safe and comfortable until I can get him to an vet? What specific tests or checks should I ask the vet to perform when I get there? Has anyone experienced this before? What could be the underlying cause of this condition? Any advice on how to handle this right now would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:Hey everyone, I don't know what version of grit you have in your country, but the type of grit I use is safe for budgies. In my country, this type of grit is widely used by budgie owners and breeders and is considered very healthy for budgies. I only give it to them twice a week.

​Regarding his diet: I know he should ideally be eating pellets instead of seeds, but I haven't been able to transition him yet—I am actively working on it. Also, seeds aren't the only thing he eats; he eats vegetables and other foods as well. However, the vet recommended holding off on giving too many veggies until his droppings return to normal.

​I took him to the vet yesterday (I never said I wouldn't!), so please stop downvoting. I would never harm my bird or let him suffer—he is like my child, and I love him deeply. I am doing everything I possibly can for him. ​The vet confirmed he has an infection due to the missplacement of an organ and prescribed two creams (one containing antibiotics). I have been applying these creams, and he already looks much better and is a lot more playful.

I posted this to ask: Is there anything else I can do to keep his vent area clean, reduce his pain, and help him recover, in addition to applying the prescribed creams?

​Note: If you suspect I am doing anything wrong, please feel free to ask me politely about the exact products or brands I am using. I am more than open to constructive advice and gentle warnings if it means helping my bird!
