Introducing 'Budgie' not quite sure on a name as yet. We have had him a few days and this morning I came down to him asleep in his food pot. I suppose it's convenient for breakfast.
Having a baby budgie is much more stressful than I remember 🤣. With an older bird that is tame, it's easy to tell if they are happy, sad or scared. This little guy is much harder to read. He is not at all keen to explore his cage yet he has taken seed/millet from a hand. After not eating for 24 hours I shifted his seed pots up to his favourite perch. I guess at some point they need to go to encourage him to find the ones on the floor.
I know we struck it lucky with our previous little guy who was utterly tame within a fortnight. I strongly suspect this guy won't be the same. I think he is 11 weeks old. Our previous bird was 9 weeks when we got him. I'm not sure if that makes any difference! Still early days though. We shall see!
He is lovely. Just wish we could fast forward this bit so he was happy, rather than scared!
