Hello! I am new to the forums and have budgies that I bought about a month and a half ago! Based on what I've read it seems they are between 3-4 months old I think. I'm a bit concerned about different behaviours with the both of them, the blue one Kiwi sits kind of like a vulture with the hunched over stance, likes to puff up and close their eyes, there is also a slight tail bob but its not more than a cm. All of that behaviour has happened since I got Kiwi and the tail bobbing only intensifies when I go near the cage after I have been gone for a day at work. Im thinking its anxiety induced? I just want to make sure they are okay!
Mojito is the green one, and they are much more chatty, posture much more erect, shows a lot of signs they like me and love to tease and kiss Kiwi. I've noticed that Mojito has been losing a lot more feathers including long ones, theres very very slight crust on top of the cere, barely noticable unless your looking very closely, but no where else. No tail bob but a couple dark patches on either side of the head. I've noticed what seems very much to be molting on the top of his head so Im hoping thats what it is!
They play a lot when they want to, prune each other and squawk and chirp and the like, great appetite as well. I am just on here to determine if they are healthy and also the sex of them!
They also get good mineral consumption from their cuddlebone, I change their cage very often, maybe every 4-5 days, fresh water everyday and i make sure they have lots of forms of seed. I have tried putting fresh vegetables and fruit but they dont seem to be taking to it. Bird baths I have tried also but they dont like it very much so I've started misting them once a week to help in case of molting!
I also have 12 foot ceilings and they also get flight time when im home, I am working with training them as well.
Any information would truly help and be greatly appreciated! I love them so much already and want them to have the best life possible!
