Recently i bought a new budgie. Since i lost my last budgie 2 years ago :/
He is fine. But i realized that he is missing 2 toes. I don't know what happend to his toes. I didn't realize it when i first took him.
Except that he looks completely fine. But is it really a problem? Or can i do something extra to help him?

Which toes are they?
I have to say, if you didn't notice the missing toes at the time, they can't be hindering his ability to get around too much. Something you might have to watch for is bumblefoot. Due to the missing toes, he might be using his feet differently to what you would expect and may be putting pressure on a part of his foot that has not developed to take the load. He may appreciate a flat/platform perch to have a rest on at times as well.

It'd be good to see some photos. Generally budgies are great at adapting and getting around with toe issues.

Our Gerry lost a toe, never found out how it happened but it doesn't bother him at all, he is still a mischievous little so n so.
