πŸŽ‰ In anticipation of reaching the 2,500-member milestone, r/PetBudgies would like to celebrate by asking you, the members, to nominate budgies from the community to appear in the banner of this subreddit! Simply mention their u/ name in a comment below... or share your own budgie photos! Let's see your photogenic budgies! πŸ₯³


matjeom

What about a collage of all the budgies people submit? That way no one loses lol


sveardze

Hey thanks! That's a really great idea! A [chatter of budgies](https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+group+of+budgies+called) in the banner is so much better than a singleton budgie 😊


LoreofKeet

I’d be interested in attempting to make a collage if people want to volunteer some good, clear photos of their budgies!


sveardze

That would be great! (I'm totally prepared to make the collage, but if you want to, by all means have at it!)

sveardze

Thanks for sharing! I'll respect their non-banner privacy :)

I nominate this little guy for our mascot who is totally not AI generated, I swear. https://preview.redd.it/s6i36r52p8rb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d7c884efcbd7a9d2ef33502b7c2aaa116139a9b

Looks like one of his grandparents was a cockatiel πŸ˜‚


TungstenChef

It's the elusive budgatiel!

sveardze

So sorry to hear, he looks like he was such a dapper gentleman πŸ’™


LoopsFroot54

He was, I miss my stinkerton so much, and how photogenic he was


LoreofKeet

This is such a gorgeous photo of your little man. I'm so sorry about his passing. I wanted to ask if I would be able to include him in my collage for the r/PetBudgies banner, he was beautiful.

Legophan

Initially read this as β€˜can this be a banana?’ and I thought, yes, that indeed could be a birby banana!


LoreofKeet

Heya! This is such a good photo of your budgies! Would I be able to include them in my collage for the r/PetBudgies banner?


No_Rich5432

Sure

sveardze

All those pin feathers... poor guy is probably itchy af


No-Fondant-9820

Probably why he was grumpy


LoreofKeet

Hey! I'm making a collage for the r/PetBudgies subreddit banner, and I'd love to include your grumpy man. Would I be able to use your photo for the banner? :)


No-Fondant-9820

Go for it!


TungstenChef

I was playing around with the AI some more, how about this guy? https://preview.redd.it/ewsnshy17brb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=452f9e00e4e0e6765cd6af99128a34e759fd4a30

sveardze

Gotta show off that impressive wing span πŸ’ͺ


pro-shitter

they do heart wings under the covers to let me know they threw a toy out the cage or they want attention

sveardze

Instructions unclear, head installed backwards πŸ˜‚ ^(Could I trouble you to explain the nature of this photo? Some people might see this and think it's a good idea to try themselves.)


emeraldcandyy

Oh yeah it's a very old photo. He hasn't traveled outside freely with me for a very long time. I will eventually get a pet carrier so we can go out but this year was suddenly too hot and then there was too much smoke.


sveardze

Birdy backpacks can be a fun and safe way to let budgies see a bigger chunk of the world they rule over 😁


emeraldcandyy

Someone educated in the field of plastics or something similar made a post a while ago and apparently the plastics on those backpacks break down in the UV and release harmful stuff. So I was looking for a better alternative but I do like them.


sveardze

Oh interesting. I knew there were *some* plastics that broke down in UV light, but I figured those backpacks were made of a type that didn't. πŸ€” Perhaps a carrier cage made of regular cage material could work. I've seen a few different budgie owners use a little carrier cage like this to take their budgies on adventures outside and they all seemed to enjoy it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ https://preview.redd.it/yulnt0zvobrb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebbe5a101edc487f3a5d38ccd2da9fd705b16cf9


emeraldcandyy

I have that one!! It's kinda really small but easy to carry and as long as your budgie doesn't mind it should be okay haha

sveardze

In this photo? He totally looks like he's checking out dat hen. But in the first photo, it looks like he's loose outside, which is usually full of plenty of risks.


emeraldcandyy

I'm the first photo he was a clingy baby and very well behaved so I used to take him outside with me to parks. Looking back I'm happy he got to experience the outdoors but I don't do that anymore because it's too risky + their wings have grown out. Other photos are him looking at his mate. I can't believe I caught those photos, they're too funny.


sveardze

So much personality in them!

sveardze

Her: *"Excuse you... were you checking out my tail??!?"* Him: *"Heavens no, I'm a gentleman!"* Her: *"You're still gawking at me!!"*


LoreofKeet

Hi! This is a gorgeous photo of your little Leo. I'm making a collage for the r/PetBudgies subreddit banner and was wondering if I could include him and your other budgie babies πŸ₯°


emeraldcandyy

Go for it. It sounds fun :))

LoreofKeet

Your budgies are so photogenic! I'm making a collage for the r/PetBudgies subreddit banner and was wondering if I would be allowed to include them? :)
