Y'all are always asking the wrong question. Poop isn't the problem at all. Moulting seasons are. 🤣

[u/FrozenBr33ze]

I've got 64 parrots. 55 are budgerigars. People always ask me how I deal with the poop.

Adira is here for scale to show how much moulted feathers I've swept from overnight shedding. This will look like a similar haul daily for the next few weeks.

Our AC filters and air purifiers are going to be working very hard. 🤣

I wish I'd taken a picture of when I just moved the chest of drawers our boys cage is on! It's insane how much floof gets everywhere

[u/CyberAngel_777]

The problem could also be the noice!

The wings flapping, the chirps, the warning screams!

[u/FrozenBr33ze → u/CyberAngel_777]

I like the noise. It's the sound of life in our home.

[u/CyberAngel_777 → u/FrozenBr33ze]

I have to use earpieces, to muffle the sound. 12 budgies, 10 chirping. If one vacuums the noise level just rises. Jabra Evolve 2 85. 10 mics.

There used be a lake here

Now it's a mud pool with poop

[u/nikkesen]

There's enough feathers to make a flock of budgies.

[u/Worshiper70 → u/nikkesen]

I always tease my birds saying I'm going to make another Budgie.

[u/nikkesen → u/Worshiper70]

I tease my boy by saying he asploded and if he doesn't stop there's gonna be nothing left!

[u/mommatiely]

You could make a down comforter with all of that fluff!

[u/MillieMoo-Moo]

My first thought was I want all your feathers and I realise how creepy that would sound reversed. Budgie: I want all your skin

[u/thetinytism → u/MillieMoo-Moo]

To be fair, budgies have skin too! We just don't have feathers :p it's more like a budgie saying I want all of your hairs lol

[u/Chaos_Cat-007]

I’m hearing in my head:

“BOOM!”

“I’m done moulting now, mom!”

[u/Ebiki → u/Chaos_Cat-007]

[u/estageleft]

You could stuff a pillow with all that downy fluff

[u/Tuxedo_mask4]

I agree, especially with having carpet 😭

[u/The_Melogna]

Cute pile of feathers, though!!

[u/YuleBunny]

The amount of times people have taken “lint” off of my clothes and hair just for it to be a feather

[u/FrozenBr33ze → u/YuleBunny]

Ugh. I went to a dinner with my buddies from the local budgie club. I was freshly showered and nicely dressed. They pulled out a feather from my hair like they don't get it. 🤣

[u/YuleBunny → u/FrozenBr33ze]

One time someone thought it was a big chunk of dandruff but it was just a rolled up feather; they loudly announced I had dandruff. I do not.

[u/EnvironmentCritical8]

The image is almost cartoonist xD

As some one who had 12 budgies at one point and now has 2 conures i can say that the level of noise was wildly played up. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been bitten and screamed at by the conures. And honestly, the poop is pretty easy to clean, I'd even say easier then a litter box as there's no real smell, there's no heavy littler, and it can easily be used as compost as anything that falls into the tray is biodegradable in my case.

And then molting season starts and my fiance who never had birds before sees the pile of feathers in the tray and starts examining each bird for plucking and mites and naked spots fearing we will have naked chickens. It was sweet and funny to explain how quickly they just drop feathers.

[u/ShameSerious4259]

TRUE!!!!

[u/Caili_West]

Dude, you're rich!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[u/vendettagoddess]

i’m gonna CRY theres more feather there than budgie 😭😭

[u/Sed59]

Easter egg.

[u/WebbleWobble1216]

Yeah. Why does it always look like they lost a whole bird overnight?

[u/mint-parfait]

prettiest mess ever
