My New Budgie Doesn't Have A Tail?

Question

Hi There,

Just wondering will my budgie's tail grow because i brought it today and it doesn't have a full tail.

Answer 1

Most likely if you bought it today it is still very young and the feathers haven't grown as much yet. Think of it like human hair, the young the human the shorter the hair.

As you budgie gets older the tail will get longer in length.

Answer 2

Your budgies tail will grow pack in a few weeks if it got damaged where you bought it from it has probably fallen out and to enable it to regrow a nice new one.

Answer 3

Yes.  Sounds like it's molting now.  My Sunny was molting when I got him, and for a while he looked like he had two tails, but his tail looks normal now.

Answer 4

Yes it's tail will grow back

Answer 8

Hi,

Yeh its tail will grow back it has probably been pulled out by the other birds or that it was trying to build a nest as my budgies pull feathers out when starting to breed.
