budgie ill?
hi, well my budgie has very small black spikey feathers, above the cere. is this normal? and also, recently my other two budgies died, so its on its own, and its not chirping much or flying around, just sitting there. is this because the budgies died, even thought it never particularly got on with them two? or is it because i havnt been giving it atention? because ive been caught up with school work, and even though its not hand trained, or doesnt reely lyk me much, could that be the reason. please answer back.

It sounds as though your budgie needs to see the vet.
What did the others die of? Did they see a vet? Was it something contagious?
Budgies prefer to be with other birds, so even if it did not get on particularly well with the other two, it may still miss them. They also do not like being handled too much, but a couple of times a day is fine.
The cage should be kept clean with fresh water and it's food changed every day, (sometimes it can look as if they have a lot of food left but when they eat seeds, they can shuck them and leave the husks), it also needs to kept at a temperature of 30-35C.
If you are having concerns over the care and wellbeing of your bird, perhaps the vet could suggest a book for you to read? This will give you the do's and don'ts and lots of useful tips, such as what to look out for in cases of illness.
It does sound as though you care about your pet and want to do the right thing for it so try the vet and take it from there. You could also try google, there are lots of web sites with information on budgies.
Hope that helps and good luck.
