My new budgie
So, I have just adopted an eight-year-old budgie from my 98-year-old grandmother who knows nothing about taking care of birds. She gave her to me in a cage the size of the carrier. Every perch except one was a sand perch which breaks my heart, and she is 100% addicted to the mirror in her cage and eating a diet of only seed. This poor baby has never been groomed, socialized, or properly taken care of. She deserves so much better than she’s gotten so far and I’m praying that she will be happy and warm up to her new home. If anybody has any tips on how to wean her off of the mirror it would be greatly appreciated. I am also wondering if it would be better just to get her a mate for the cage rather than try to put her through hand taming and socializing. I have two fishers lovebirds, one is way too skittish to socialize with other birds, and my baby Zero I worry about being aggressive because she is so much smaller. My only concern about getting her companion for the cage, Is that she is an older bird. And I worry about the impact of getting a really young budgie to keep her company and then having to pass away and leave the companion alone. Hoping someone has gone through similar experiences and has some helpful tips! Thank you in advance!
For the mirror problem try introducing new toys to her cage to draw her attention away from the mirror. I watched a budgie awhile ago that had a mirror problem, he even tried feeding his reflection, & I replaced it with shiny bell toys. He couldn’t see himself clearly in the bells so he didn’t think it was another bird. I’m not sure if it’d be better to remove the mirror before she gets hooked on a new toy but if she trying to regurgitate seeds on to it you might want to take it out now.
I’m not the most knowledgeable on budgies but maybe some my followers can help you. 😊
My male lovebird had mirror addiction developed in previous home. He definitely fed his reflection and was aggressive around it...he'd spent hours hugging that mirror and as inexperienced as I was I could still see it's sick. I just took it away. It was during all other overwhelming changes in his life tho (giving him much bigger cage, new toys, letting him out to explore and take baths) so maybe he hardly even noticed that mirror went away.
Drogon had his first Nutriberry today, and after he realized the scary thing wasn’t going to kill him, he loved it!

One of my favorite chicken facts to share is that hens can “become” roosters, at least in regards to their appearance and some behaviors. Long story short, hens have one working ovary; if it ceases to function, they can become more male-like (read more about it here). But since it’s a fairly rare phenomenon, I didn’t think it would happen to one of my own chickens!
Meet Coco. Several months ago, she had fallen under the weather only to reemerge with redder, shinier feathers and a longer, arched tail. Coincidentally, the males of her breed are mostly red, and that tail sure is getting rooster-y. My best guess is that Coco has been undergoing a spontaneous sex reversal.
Coco seems to enjoy this transformation, especially since she doesn’t have to worry about laying eggs anymore. You go, new Coco!
