hello everyone first time posting but a long time lurker! So thankyou for all the advice i have gotten from here so far without you all even knowing about it!
I have always grown up with birds in the house (i have a 19yr old cockatiel who was my first pet!) This is however the first time i have owned my own budgies. I have two trouble makers, Buddy and Buzz. I got Buddy mid feb from a family friend who got him at a bird show type thing where he gets his aviary birds from. Anyways after while I noticed Buddy was trying to talk to my canary and thought he deserved a friend...so in July I got Buzz (my nervous little one!) I love my troublesome little pair! Buzz is the one i am slightly concerned about really...could just me being over protective but i thought best to ask!
Firstly both have bright blue ceres but buzz's beak has blue tinge to it also. been like it for a while now..there has been no other change him in though and it hasnt bothered him at all (he is currently next to me destroying a toy with it!)
secondly i dont have an exact age for him..but i have had him nearly 6 months now (he was the same size as buddy when i got him and buddy is around 1yrs old now!) and his iris ring hasnt appeared! more confused then concerned about this!
and finally both boys seem to be having issues with the feathers just on the top of their heads..like the feathers have come through but are still kind of coated in something? (does that make sense?!) anything to worry about? they certainly arent bothered by it.
anyways heres some photos of the them i took this morning...buddy is on the left looking grumpy as he doesnt like the camera and buzz is on the right
thanks for reading ;D
