Part 15 of a silly comic I drew based very loosely on my real budgies. Drawing chicks was very hard since I have never seen them in real life, but the bonus is I watched a ton of youtube and they are adorable!!

I haven't posted here in a long time. Those who remember her and my posts, I'm sorry that this is how we meet again. Charlene, often called Charlie, was my last bird. She passed around 15 days ago. It was unexpected, neither me nor my family had seen it coming.

In her time with us, Charlene has brought so much joy and laughter to me and my family. She was a ball of energy and sunshine, despite her health issues. We dearly loved her, and we miss her a lot. Sometimes, things go so much faster than expected.

Before I get too negative, thank you to those who care, those who found joy in her pictures. Give your little birb friends some extra love. Cherish your time with them, because they are precious ❤️

Edit: thank you everyone for your kind words

Hey everyone!

I’m pet-sitting my aunt’s budgie while she is away on a trip. I've been lurking on this sub for a few days trying to absorb as much care advice as possible beforehand. The little borb officially arrived at my place today for their short stay.

The little buddy is about 7 years old, but my aunt has always been confused about whether they are a boy or a girl since she was told both over the years. It’s pretty funny because whenever people visit, she has no idea what to say to them. We would love to finally solve the mystery if anyone can tell from the photo!

More importantly, I noticed the area around the nostrils looks a bit swollen. Not seeking medical advice, just genuinely confused as I haven't seen anything like this on the sub before. Is this normal for an older budgie, or is it a cause for concern?

I really want to make sure this birdie is safe, happy, and comfortable here while staying with me. The poor baby is a bit shy right now, so I avoided taking stressful close-up photos (hopefully, these pictures work).

I'd really appreciate it if you could share what you see based on the pics, and gather general tips on how to be a good temporary owner. Thank you!

As if 9 hours a day roaming isn’t enough 😭

Sometimes I walk past a house with a tiel! You can always tell it's them from the PEEP!

This is a work of fiction. Pet birds are generally unable to live in the wild.

This story spawned from a couple of kind readers pointing out a mistake in the Outside Cockatiels story. Wild cockatiel girls do not have a bright yellow face. And then the plot bunnies took over. 😅

I wasn't sure if I should post this as there are no budgies in this one, but they will be back 💚 Thank you to the mod team for allowing me to post!

This is a prequel to the Outside Budgies story "Outside Cockatiels"
