Free a tormented budgie?
Hello dear community,
My girlfriend's mother has a budgie that's about five years old. After she was in the hospital for several weeks, my girlfriend and I looked after her and, of course, read up on how to care for a budgie.
We quickly realized that they are very social animals that should never be kept alone. Our view of the little one changed completely. We used to think of him as a very happy, active, playful, and tame/people-loving budgie, as he was constantly climbing all over my friend's mother, eating cookies, etc.
We then got a second male budgie and socialized them. We also tried to explain to her that these animals shouldn't be kept alone—no mirrors, no chocolate/cookies, or bread. We really tried to explain to her, first gently, then more forcefully, that she was subjecting her budgie to torturous conditions and that it wasn't living a good life. Finally, we wrote her a letter and tried to communicate the whole thing in writing—to no avail…
Since we felt responsible for the second budgie, and she also exposed him to dangerous conditions (he ate poisonous plants and began exhibiting similar imprinting behaviors), we decided to get two more budgies ourselves and take the little one back. The little budgie and her budgie generally barely interacted, as her budgie had been raised separately from all other budgies for five years and had forgotten all natural budgie behavior. That's no life for a second budgie.
Our three have settled in well with us. We've specially prepared a safe bird room for them, and we only feed them budgie food and budgie-friendly fruits, vegetables, and herbs, which is unfortunately not the case with my friend's mother. She feeds her budgie mostly human food (and has a very unhealthy diet herself)…
My question is, do you have any tips on how we can free the little one? Unfortunately, she's completely uncooperative, saying, "He's used to being alone already." I'll probably call the local veterinary office tomorrow and report the case to them.
Since she's currently in the day clinic from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., the little one is literally home alone half the day. Because of his consistent feather loss, I also noticed that it's not molting, but rather plucking…
Do you have any tips on how to speed up the process or how to make it clear to him that it would be best for him to give him up?
Best regards,
your budgie fan

Hey.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look good when you want to fight for a kind attitude. More than to inform the Office is not possible.
Whether it’s hanging on the waves or not – if it’s fed he won’t live long. There is the slightest problem in individual attitudes.
Maybe someone else can convince them. Someone who has more influence on her.
And please don’t feed fruit. Just because it’s not poisonous, it’s not good. Shaft tracts must not take sugar.
Thank you for the nice answer 😉
The little one is very close to our hearts. Too bad that in Germany the animal welfare is subordinate to the property…
Thanks for the tip with the fruit/sugar. After what I had read, it seemed to me that fruit is something that one can rarely give them and only has a bad effect on certain fungal diseases. But after your tip, the little ones will probably not get any more fruit – you just want the best for his shooters
How does it look with vegetables? Tomato, cucumber salad etc.?
It depends on feeding as a whole. A lot of vegetables go, but whether it’s sensual is the other thing.
Gurke helps with the mouse, lettuce doesn’t really bring something.
Hello Wellifan,
due to the fact that, without any doubt, the absolutely disastrous posture state is evident (cf. cage situation), it is inevitable to take the welli out of this environment. You describe your acquaintances that keep this wave-sittich as nazistic and not willing to change the conditions for the wave-sittich. If such a perseverance is present, then it will not be possible to give the woman with arguments to leave the bird to you, but this is the only way to protect this waveform from her, and one thing is certain that this waveform will die if it is not brought out of the ‘dunst circle’ of this woman. Because with this woman, the shaft is certainly not happy, a single shaft saddle is certainly almost never happy
I also want to focus more specifically on nutritional well-being, which is not there at all, look at your Wellis, then this, it will be possible for you to find out that the body-head proportions are absolutely destructive.
Furthermore, I would suggest to have §2 sentence 1 study by her, there is also punishment in case of violations. This woman is active in the execution of a crime. Make it clear to her and your parents, etc. In addition, I do not know any paragraph that says that the aggravation over that is abandoned by a being placed on someone who cares about the well-being and well-being of the animal! By the way, a ban on animal husbandry would not be spared to such a woman after the visit of a veterinary, of course, no fine.
If nothing helps: buy the bird: Take 200 euros in your hand and finish, it can’t beat.
With kind regards,
D.
Ps: who has gained knowledge of a crime and has not been committed by a relative, etc., or oneself is bound by a duty of silence, including the secrecy, can also make himself punishable.
I reported the case to the Veterinary Office some time ago. Thank you for your answer
The Welli has been living with her for 5 years, doesn’t know how to behave with fellows and is imprinted on his owner. Do you really think that he would be happier if he sat with strange birds at once in a volunteer without “his” people?
The diet may be under all conditions, which is a point that can be addressed sometimes.
Friendly and without raised index finger. If someone tells me “all that you’re doing is crap udn wrong” then I’d rather send it to the devil than surround me with such people. I guess I’ll inform myself later and if it seems sensible, I’ll change something, but not because I’m almost saying “you’re too stupid”.
The owner is at the day clinic because she is so good and life is just perfect? Probably not. Perhaps the bird is the only real contact person, the only being for which you don’t have to imagine, which never criticizes you and always shows affection?
There is also a right to your own well-being, which should not be forgotten in all well-intentioned thoughts of animal welfare.
We have not insulted the owner in any way or showed her with raised index finger… We have tried with nice tips and hints, have you tried to put your own research to the heart but it doesn’t help anything.
She has a high-grade Nazi personality disorder. She has been treating her daughter (my friend) as an object since childhood, which only exists to be there for her. This woman is not able to pay attention to the feelings of others. After her daughter moved to me, we had to listen to her for months of vaccination and threats. Finally, it ended in a suicide attempt by her, and we found her and called an ambulance. We have always tried to be there for them, but also tried to explain that their daughter is now full-year and wants to lead an independent life. For them it is completely incomprehensible that the relationship between me and my girlfriend does not turn about her (the mother).
In recent years, she has estranged all her friends with her egocentric way.
We know about their loneliness, but it’s a pit that she has dug herself and still tries to blame others.
She is not about the bird but 100% about herself. She already said that. “The bird belongs to her and is to be fun,” whether he is fed properly or feels comfortable with her (in accordance with her own statements) at the same time.
How’s your girlfriend doing this right now and yourself?So or so:
I wish you both all the best and hope that the overall situation will improve as quickly as possible.
You’ve done everything you can and you really don’t have to blame yourself. You probably know that yourself – but I think it is important/beautiful to get this said again by another person.
LG and a pleasant Monday afternoon
Okay.
All good 🙂
We’re all right. School is better, we have announced the case at the Veterinary Office, but not yet heard of whether something has been done or not. As far as we have the necessary distance, we are now also at the point where we have done our duty and can and want to keep the distance from good conscience.
Hey, I don’t know about waves, but call the animal welfare authority.I’d rather have a few weeks to fight with your mother than reskating the life of an animal.
The best thing for this wave is if it continues to be kept as it has been used for 5 years.
I think that because of the lack of human maturity, you have come to completely false conclusions.
And if, as you do, you publicly denounce your own mother or a friend, this is the lowest drawer from a moral point of view.
Otherwise, you can’t fight just because you slept under the pillow with a boxer newspaper.
The same also applies to the shaft tumbler.
They estimate the needs of this wave-slot completely wrong.
A wave-shape marked in individual attitudes to his reference person is only “happy” if he continues to live with his social reference person.
The green Dr. GOOGLE whitenesses can and must be forgotten.
You would also know that if you were really familiar with waves.
You should also think about the interrelationship between animal welfare and human welfare.
Apparently, you are not able to realize that your mother or the girlfriend hangs on this wave.
You should also include the human good of the holder in your reflections.
Best regards
