I'm going to guess male, but he's very young and still has a black beak.
Is he cracking seed on his own?

If he's eating okay then he should be fine.

Good luck. I'm a novice too. I have a one year old male budgie called Squawk.

Millet is a good training tool, how long have you had him?

Millet is a good training tool, how long have you had him? This is the fifth day I've had him. He is obsessed with cleaning himself, I was sure he was itching until I enquired with the breeder hehe! I have been using Millet - he loves it ! He is very confident steps-up with no problem with the perch, but sometimes he will bite the perch!? He hand feeds great and goes mad playing with toys in his cage. I got a bigger cage the second day of having him. It's HUGE  |

Don't worry about him biting the perch, do you mean if you ask him to step up?

Hi bluebudgie88, welcome to the forum, he's a little beauty, reminds me of my boy Ben when he was very young. Budgies are always sorting their feathers and preening. From what you say he seems to be a really confident little guy, keep up the good work with him, be patient and the rewards will come, and when they do, it's an absolute joy  |
