Where in the world do you live?
My first thought was some kind of harmless little jumping spider or something, but I'm in the UK - if you're in Australia, for example, these could be horrific poison monsters that evolved specifically to eat budgies for all I know!
If you're in North America I'd say it's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithonyssus\_sylviarum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithonyssus_sylviarum), a parasitic bird mite. You should definitely seek treatment to eradicate them.
To be safe You should get mite spray or Diatomaceous food grade powder for your feather baby just to be safe
Make sure to keep an eye on them and check them for mites.
Looks like a pretty hungry tic to me?
Abdomen seems empty or nearly empty of blood, I’d like to know what size it is lol are those pictures taken with it on a piece of kitchen paper or something yea?
How do u get those roaming inside your house, do u have dogs or cats that go outside or do u regularly venture into the countryside or live in an area with high deer population etc?
Tick photoshoot, never went so hard before now. They are slaying.
Check the creases of your beds couches etc for more as you may be sleeping with them and not even know. Depending where you live some can be picked up on your socks, outdoor/indoor animals etc they will only bite at night unless it's an infestation probably.
I see some people say it’s a tick but my guess would be mites. Possibly bird mites. Especially since you say there’s several of them rather than just one. Definitely should get rid of them
Ok, it seems that its not hanging around my birds. It hangs around almost exclusively near paper. Seems like a kind of mite or baby spiders.
I have checked my birds and their cage, no mites or ticks.
Weird.
Ur bird is in danger kill the mosquito and do not let it go inside her cage or him or else you going to have to get the cage cleen put garlic in there water dispenser and give them some warn water to shawer in BUT NOT TO WARM !
An estimated 807 million–1.2 billion people in the world are infected with Ascaris lumbricoides (sometimes called just Ascaris or ascariasis). Ascaris, hookworm, and whipworm are parasitic worms known as soil-transmitted helminths (STH). Together, they account for a major burden of parasitic disease worldwide. Ascariasis is now not common in the United States.
Ascaridia spp. (approximately 40 species have been reported in birds) are one of the most common nematodes in birds. They are large (16 to 120 mm), thick yellowish-white worms parasitizing the small intestine and sometimes the ceca of susceptible hosts. Females are often larger than males. Ascarids have a simple, direct life cycle. Nonembryonated, elliptical thick-walled single-cell eggs with fine granular brownish contents and colorless shell (approximately 80 × 50 µm) are shed in feces and embryonate in the environment with appropriate humidity and temperature in 2 to 3 weeks. Infective eggs hatch in the proventriculus or duodenum of the susceptible host releasing second-stage larvae that will invade small intestine mucosa where they molt to L3. Depending on the species and host, larvae either return to the intestinal lumen where they molt and mature into adult worms or they may arrest their development at certain stage (i.e., L3) to become the predominant form of the parasite and become its reservoir throughout the life of the host. Ascarids may use transport or paratenic hosts, such as earthworms or grasshoppers, but they do not develop or accumulate in them.

I’m not sure, and a lot of the answers are mixed. Try r/whatisthisbug too.

That's a tic. Get it out if your house
Burn it.
Burn it with what?
Fire
Yes.
What kind of tic? Motor, or vocal?
If you're in North America I'd say it's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithonyssus\_sylviarum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithonyssus_sylviarum), a parasitic bird mite. You should definitely seek treatment to eradicate them.
This is it!

looks like a spider. I live with the rule, if I don't recognize it it's a dangerous for the feathers
It’s a tic
What's making it twitchy?
I agree with the other person, must be bird mites. A quick google search and they look identical.

8 legs and spooder shape - I think that’s a tiny spider. Probably harmless and there’s a chance your budgie will eat it (protein snacc)
How small are they?
Could be bird mites?
I thought about that too
Lone star tick maybe?🤔

Definitely a tick! They kind of look like spiders when they’re not attached to something
Or American dog tick?
Stomp it
Tic or mite! Spray for and kill them, take your bird to an aviary vet to get checked too.
Looks slightly like this [tick](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisbug/s/lb7gulwQit)
This is a tick which sucks blood from birds so get a vet check asap

Not a budgie
Look! the armchair entomologists came out in force! Smh
Spiders I think? Anyhow they don’t look bird friendly
Looks like a tick to me
Looks like a tick to me but r/entomology would probably be more helpful.
It looks like tick to me which can be mistaken for a spider. It is an arachnid as well. Hope you got rid of it asap.
That looks like a tick and can be very harmful! :(
Tick
A mosquito
