I'm not very good at telling detail but she has really nice colours. :) The cage does look a bit small. As the bird grow she will get bigger and her tail may split or bend a little if in a small cage but it won't hurt her. You also have toys in there so just make sure she has plenty room for flight.

That's all I know but someone with more experience and knowledge on her can probably help. ;)

Well, your budgie is a she, and around a year old, if not older. :) She looks quite healthy, and her cage looks sufficient, but I would recommend a bigger one. It's ok for now. :)

The chewing of the feet is probably just her cleaning them. :) All budgies do it. :)

Good Luck with her! She is very pretty! Does she have a name?

[Amy]

Wow, she is also very tame! Sitting on your finger, very good! You'll build a great bond. :) Where did you get her if your don't mind me asking?

Hello Eunice, its really nice to see you here, your budgie is a female, I know she is a yf dominant pied but I am not sure what else she has in her maybe clearwing like my Skyla, aoon as Bea and Joey see her they will know for sure. This forum is much better then the other one you will like it here xxxx :)

[redgirl]

I think your cage is ok for one budgie, as long as she spends quite a bit of time out of it. My Skyla is a little madam evernight she churps and churps like mad to come out of her cage and sit on the sofa with me, lastnight she was nibbleing my madeira cake, she is so tame and is almost like a human person. Will have to get pics to show you and everyone xxxx :)

[eunice]

thanks for the replies
sad story how we got her really she was given to us a few weeks ago by a man who didn't want her and was about to let her go free so we took her
no name yet but any ideas would be welcome

[Amy]

Awww, I'm so glad you took her in! If he'd had let her go, she would have died!

What about these names?

Sparkie
Rosie
Angel
Breeze

[spike]

Wow she is beautiful.

[zarrion101]

Yep the cage is ok for one as long she spends time out of it regulary. :)

Here are some names:

Florenza
Careen
Angeleese
Misty

[redgirl]

Amber is a lovely name, and will suit her colours xxxx

[redgirl]

also i think it is lovely how you got her, I cant beleive that man was just going to let her go, thank god you came to the rescue, as she is adorable and looks so friendly xxxx

[parakeetluverr]

I love the name Carissa..it seems to fit her hunn. xxxx:p

[kisses]

Wow! She is absolutely gorgeous! I think her nails could use a little trimming. That is wonderful that you took her into your home. The man obviously had spent sometime with her because she is tame. The man didn't tell you how old she was? Let us know when you pick a name! She is quite a looker! :)

[Budgie_Lover_01]

She's super pretty!!!! Most budgies do bite at their feet, but the third picture from the left in your first slideshow her one nail there looks really long...Maybe just trimming it down a bit...Otherwise she looks awesome! :D Beautiful colours on her ;)

She's beautiful and so pretty! I'd say the cage is fine, as long as she gets as much time out the cage as possible :)

Hmmm, now names...how about Daisy? I think it suits her :)

[BirdieBabi]

I have something to say about her nails. In the 3rd picture of the first post, her nails look really long. I think that's the reason why she's been chewing on them. I would highly recommend bringing her to a vet or cutting them yourself. 9if you do cut them yourself, make sure you son't cut on the vain or it would start bleeding.)

Very pretty. And yes, would be good to get a bigger cage but for the time being it's ok. Good luck with your new bird!

[parakeetluverr]

Hmm..yeah, now that you mention it, her nail does look quite long...this could be the reason she chews her foot..if you want her to stop, take her to the vet and get her nails clipped by a pro. Other wise, she's a goregous bird!:p
