Do you have any experience working with budgies? I really wanna get a pet bird of some type, but I only have experience with pet dogs. So, I was doing research and budgies looked like a solid option. I heard that African Greys are only birds you get if you, have, like, a lot of experience with bird care, so, really any advice for general bird care or a good direction for resources or what to expect would be appreciated.
I don’t! But I’ve known people who had budgies and they’re delightful little fellows. Like all parrots, they’re clever and long-lived (for their size) and very social. I think they’re underappreciated because they’re small.
Unfortunately many people see budgies as disposable and think they’re “easier” to care for, but I suspect this is because it’s less evident when they’re bored or neglected: they don’t scream as loudly, bite as hard, or destroy housewares as easily as larger birds. But they do need toys and exercise and interaction to a similar degree.
I think that a lot of folks who go out and buy large parrots would actually be happier living with a budgie or cockatiel. They’re incredibly intelligent and they have big personalities, and they’re generally safer to interact with. Because of their smaller size, it’s easier to house more than one bird in the average home and meet their needs for companionship and exercise.
Folks with budgie experience, feel free to chime in: what knowledge would you impart to someone considering a pet budgie?

What do you think of the "Is The Owl Video Cute" blog promoting that keeping any and all parrots in captivity is unethical and wrong? I worry they are spreading significant misinformation to people who don't know any better.
Their entire blog at the moment is filled with asks regarding this subject so I’m just going to tag them as a whole instead of a specific post @is-the-owl-video-cute
I haven’t read every single question they’ve answered so I’m not going to say I agree with everything they say, I simply haven’t got the energy to read them all so I can’t say I agree with what I haven’t read!
I agree with the general concept of these ethical topics.
When we’re talking about whether or not an animal should be kept in captive conditions we’re focused on a couple of main things
1) the quality of care provided in the average home
2) the breeding practices and regulations
3) the quality of life the animal will have in captivity
Parrots do not thrive in captivity. No parrot does. Not a budgie, not a macaw. None of them (as a general broad statement on their species as a whole) are able to exhibit natural behaviours regularly, live with less stress than in the wild, get adequate nutrition, exercise, or social outlets.
Are there outliers to this rule? Absolutely! There are anti-social budgies who live happily with people, there are people who go above and beyond with their care so the parrots can live happily! But that’s not the majority. And that’s what matters when we’re talking about a broad and complicated topic such as ethics.
As it stands parrot keeping is inadequate.
There’s no standards on their care, there’s more misinformation out there than there is correct information, it’s easier to purchase tiny habitats and fatty nutritionless foods than it is large homes and healthy options. Even if you want to take good care of your birds you have to jump through 1000 flaming hoops just to get the right information. The majority will not put in that effort and the majority will not have the funds, space or time to truly provide what they need.
When we look at parrots in captivity we find that they do not thrive even in the best of care! Most of parrot care is spent trying to prevent problems than it is about living a stress free joyous life. Most parrots struggle with plucking or other stereotypic behaviours, behaviours that are not seen naturally. These things only happen as a result of struggling with captive life, they self mutilate, pace, and pull at their toes to try to cope with the stress that captivity puts on them. Great care or not these things still happen! It’s just a side effect of living in a cramped captive lifestyle that can’t provide what the birds need.
Their social requirements are absurdly massive! Budgies are one of the most common parrots kept as pets and they have some of the largest flocks there are! Massive groups of birds hitting numbers in the thousands! They thrive in large groups where they can preen eachother, chatter together, forage together with safety in numbers. Most captive budgies get 0-3 flock mates. Can some budgies do okay with these conditions? Sure. Does the majority? No. That doesn’t even touch on the subject that just because they’re a social bird doesn’t mean they love every bird they meet. In the wild you can choose your flock, move away from birds you don’t get along with, etc. in captivity they often don’t get that choice. You buy a completely random friend for them from a wildly different genetic line and slap them together in a confined space expecting them to get along perfectly. It ends in a lot of stress, a lot of fights, a lot of deaths.
We haven’t even hit the intelligence level yet! This goes a little hand in hand with enclosure size. Parrots are smart, not just the big ones! A budgie holds the world record for the most known words, an African grey parrot has the same cognitive intelligence as a three year old human child. They’re complex, destructive and it takes a lot to keep those brains engaged. Imagine a three year old child and all the things it takes to keep their minds healthy, now hand that toddler a sharp weapon for a face and the capacity to scream louder than a jet engine. Frequent toy rotations, tons of money spent on new toys, training to engage the brain, changing up enclosure layouts, foraging opportunities, puzzle feeders, bird-proofing everything repeatedly because your bird chewed a hole in your drywall. It’s hard. Most birds don’t get enough of it. And the majority only get 2-3 uninteresting toys which results in a lot of distress and boredom that leads to an unhappy life and self-destructive behaviours.
The amount of distance a parrot travels in a day is huge! They have massive exercise requirements that the average home cannot provide. Yes even a large outdoor aviary isn’t suitable for a lot of birds! You’ll still see stress-related behaviours as a result of living in these habitats in some cases. And again, looking at the majority here they won’t even get that amount of space. They’ll be lucky to live in a 10x10 cube with maybe an hour of time to flap their wings.
Which brings us to wing clipping. Most parrots will never get the opportunity to fly which screws up their systems massively. Their brain ends up underdeveloped, their lungs end up weaker, even their heart can be weakened or just straight up smaller than a bird who was able to fledge and fly regularly. Let alone the amount of birds that end up with broken necks because the wings were cut too short so they smashed straight in to the ground or flew full speed in to a wall with no way to control their flight (wing clipping removes the feathers responsible for controlling direction, not speed.)
Majority of pet birds end up overweight due to inadequate nutrition and exercise (see:wing clipping). There isn’t even a brand of food I can find in a local pet store that I can feed my birds that actually fulfills their nutritional needs, yes even the stores that sell the birds don’t have what’s needed to even feed them. If you want to invest a ton of time in to research, working with your veterinary team, and formulating recipes you could make it work with seeds and veggies but it’s very very difficult to do that (and again, the majority of people will not). Seeds are high in fat and the average captive bird is not getting enough exercise to burn off all that fat, this can result in neurological problems and fatty liver disease which easily chops a birds lifespan in half.
Breeding. Where it sits right now parrot breeding (in the majority of cases) is disgusting. Most of the time the birds are kept in teeny tiny cages and don’t really come out, the babies may get handled just so they end up tame and easier to sell but other than that they don’t tend to get out much. Most birds are over-bred and in the cases of small birds they’re too tiny for most blood tests to be done. So things like ensuring two birds aren’t closely related to reduce inbreeding risks….. doesn’t happen. If you look at the world of dog breeding for comparison there’s a ton of regulations to ensure healthy pups. You can get x rays to check their bone structures and joints, blood tests for their Coefficient of Inbreeding, etc. the (good) breeders put a lot of work in to socializing, building confidence, and raising healthy stable puppies. That doesn’t exist for birds. There’s no attempts at socialization beyond making them hand tame, there’s no exposure routines to build confidence, there’s no health tests. The bird world also has this hefty habit of deliberately inbreeding to cause genetic disasters because they look cute. One line of budgies, for example, is so overbred for the sake of making the feathers large (desirable trait for more sales) that the birds can’t see properly and often have really dirty vents because the poop gets caught up in these oversized feathers. An offshoot of this attempt was the Feather Duster Budgie. A line of budgies who ended up with a genetic mutation through this process, their feathers never stop growing. They don’t live more than a couple years at most before they either die because the feathers were too heavy to access food, couldn’t breathe, or were otherwise inhibited by the weight of the feathers.
There’s a lot wrong with captive parrots. Even if we were to reform the whole pet care industry at the end of the day we’d hit the same result. Parrots aren’t healthier with us than they are on their own. Even with the risks of predation and disease in the wild the amount of stress they experience in captive environments and drastic accidents with escaped pets/ getting stepped on/ eaten by the family cat often shortens their lifespans in similar ways.
Here’s more posts I’ve done in the past regarding ethics:

List 5 things that make you happy and send this to the last 10 people who liked/reblogged something from you. Get to know your followers and mutuals! ☺️ Thanks for the tag, @enchantzz
I did one of these a few months ago, but for this one, I've chosen five different things.
The color green in general, but in gemstones, peridot and emerald.
Birds in general, but specifically the African grey parrot. I've been lucky enough to interact with one of these birds. They're so beautiful and charming.
Mountains. Been up a couple in Europe. Not on foot. But they are spectacular and otherworldly.
A good wedge salad. Not the most glamorous, I know, but damn tasty when done right.
Sixties and seventies appliances. That was some ugly, clunky shit, but goddamn if it didn't work for decades and decades. I hate all this rechargeable crap today--the batteries eventually wear down after so many recharges, and then you either have to replace the battery or buy another appliance. And I've found that replacing the batteries usually costs more than buying a brand new appliance. I'll take an old, gotta-change-the-bag plug-in vacuum cleaner any day over a fucking Dyson. Products manufactured in the sixties and seventies were built to withstand an atomic bomb. If you have any of these old appliances, hold onto them for dear life. /End rant
Tagging: @huntressandlioness1 @baycityroller @flipperbrain-awakes @i-am-pinkie @nervousladytraveler @londonista59 @darklyhandsome @flow-it-show-it @anglophiletraveler @sawle-sister @yearnerforturner Everyone is welcome to play.

Well, my gaming laptop is now in the hands of the Geek Squad. Brother drove me in to town once he got off work today, and I dropped it off at the desk at the Best Buy in town. They apparently don't do that particular level and/or kind of repair locally, so the laptop will be shipped down to their big repair centre in Toronto tomorrow, and at some point I'll be contacted by a technician to let me know what its fixable/nonfixable status is, and if there'll be any charges beyond the mid-range coverage repair fee I just paid.
I figure most optimistically it'll be about a week until I see it again, given transit there and back and at least a few days in between to allow for work to be done on it. Possibly longer, if it needs replacement parts they don't have on hand. Hopefully it is not deader than an African grey parrot pining for the fjords :\
Guess I might as well get gmail set up on this old clunker of a laptop, so I can at least keep on top of my daily dragons in Flight Rising. Thankfully I have a fairly recent backup of the contents of my gdrive, so I won't have to let it work it's way through re-downloading everything to the local drive.
