Poorly feathered friend!

He does look a tad different to most cockatiels I have seen.

Oops...sorry for the confusion....that's not a picture of Molly! Molly looks like a regular old cockatiel. That picture is a wild cardinal that was out at our feeder this past summer.

Glad to hear Bluey is doing better!!!

TsPoet, thank you for giving me the link http://www.upatsix.com/chats/budgie/

Unfortunately, he has not been too well again. Things all seemed to happen so quickly, again his eye was not too good, so took him back to my vet last night. Excellent, it only required bathing, after that he was great.

Sixteen hours later he is far from being well. This morning he was sputtering and spitting out undigested seed in small bubbles!

Cannot understand why he has suddenly deteriorated so quickly. I am just searching through the above website that you gave me.

If only he was a bit bigger and I could just give him a cuddle but that unfortunately would totally freak him out.

I just hope he will hang on until Monday, when I can get him to the vet again.

a friend of mine's parents had a cockatiel for 24 years, and they found him so who knows how old he was when he flew into thier lives.

Muriel was also thought to be a girl for a long time til they discovered she was a boy, and lived a happy, long life.

I'm so sorry.
There is a little hope, though - my best pet/pal of all time was Little Bit, a tiny blue budge that was unable to fly. He followed me around the house, running what must have been miles on those little legs, and lived 9 years even though he was scrawny and handicapped.
Anyway, he loved me. And, budgies sometime show love by spitting up undigested food in little bubbles. I'm not sure that's the case with Bluey, due to his age. Little bit especially liked to "feed" my fingernails, he also liked to feed his favorite bell. So, is Bluey targeting anything, or just spitting up?
I am very hopeful for him, but he is a senior citizen. I know that doesn't help any.

ts - I had a non-flying budgie too! Ben would drift from his cage to the floor, then run around the house. He'd hide under furniture until you called him, then he'd come running out with wings spread making that budgie chirping sound.
