i just got a cockatiel and suddenly my budgie became really mean im pretty sure he is jealous how do i deal with it I really makes me sad when he nips at me he had been so good and he loved me. please

I've had my little female budgie since September 2007. I bought her from Petsmart one day when I felt I really needed a friend. Well, I didn't realize at the time that Petsmart birds were deathly afraid of HANDS! So, now we're in July 08, and I still can't touch her. She still flies away from me when I put my hand in her cage. We had a rough beginning (she almost died due to shock moving into my apt), and when she wouldn't stop screaming and was acting really lonely, I bought a cockatiel so that Priti (budgie) would have a friend.

I have a budgie who is developing a really crusty cere and all over and around her beak. At first i thought she was just in the breeding season because she lives with other males, but now it's spread on her beak too.

I just recently received two budgies and one has severe splayed legs, They are babies about 3 months old and I was wondering if I could do anything to help this little one lead a better life. Any help

I have had Pretty Girl, my parakeet for 4years now and in the past 6months her beak has really been growing I have taken her in 3 times now to have it trimmed because she couldn't eat.Can anyone tell me what the problem might be.

So I have these 2 parakeets that I recently obtained from someone. I believe they're both young-ish males. After a few weeks, I think they're used to the new environment and most of the time they behave and sit around chirping or playing with bell. They're still a little afraid of me but I've been trying to put my hand in the cage so they get used to it and generally they tolerate it.

i was wondering what i should do if budgie eggs became dirty/covered in poo? should i wash them? if so, at what temperature?
also, if a chick gets rejected once hatched, what should i do? hand feed it?

Has anyone got any useful info on breeding budgies, i know the basics, but does anyone have any useful tips?
thank you

I am thinking of breeding budgies, and need some advice. i currently have 2 cocks and am thinking of getting 2 hens.
On some websites it says that each pair should have their own cage for breeding, whereas, on another site is says that they like breeding in groups, and should be kept together.
