What an exciting thread! Welcome Max! He is beautiful and looks like he is going to be lots and lots of fun. Love the video of him playing with the toy.
I look forward to hearing how he gets on today!

Thank you. I’m working the rest of the week, but I work from home. So he’ll be in the room with me. I’m going to be busy work wise as my job share on hols, but I’ll be able to talk to him. He’s using seed pots I hooked in the cage so that will be fun changing them.
The cage is good, but the pull out tray is a bit stiff getting it out.
Just getting back into a routine - me that is lol

He is where I left him, although poops would show otherwise, not as many as I would have thought. shown him where his food and water is, but I have him by the window watching tv... Initially I was hoping to get him last week when I was off, but this is fine, he would not be out the cage anyway and he will get used to this room and the lounge.
poor boy, probably woke up thinking..ooh am I back with my pals again, although it was a very small cage for quite a few that he was in, but that might have been just so I could see them all.

He ate out of the seed pot last night on his own, but not got the hang of how to stand (very strange), so I held the pot for him to eat.. he has sat by the mirror now for ages, but not paying it much attention, and I think he has not worked out how to get to other perches... will show him or move them when I have my lunch..

is it reasonable his droppings are a bit watery and green now.. they were ok-ish overnight, but maybe the journey, stress yesterday was a bit much

I think that's his travel cage Yes that’s the travel cage, he’s next to the big one *slaps forehead with hand* I literally do need to go to Specsavers!!!

He looks content sat there ffiscool. Lovely that he can look out the window and be able to see you. He’ll be settled in no time at all.

I am neurotic.. I forgot how things were at the beginning.(it was over 8 years ago) he just had a mad ten minutes, where something spooked him.. then he kept falling as he has not yet worked out the perches yet.. I took the mirror out as it seemed suddenly to do with that. he is also v itchy. I asked the breeder about ivermectin and she said she did the babies before the go.. and he was done a few weeks ago, but not sure if that is all the 3 treatments.
I would offer him a bath, but I do not want him out of the cage.. I am wondering if this is why he has gone mad, something itching.. i don't have a spare bottle, to mist him. once he is a bit more au fait with moving about, i will put the bath into the doorway as it fits.

He sounds like a normal little budgie who will soon settle in. Have you tried to feed him any fresh foods yet, basil, dill, lettuce? If he's itchy maybe he'd enjoy wet lettuce.

yes, it had been a while, lol. no, but I am getting fresh basil and dill when I go shopping. I used to hang the basil from the hooks on Bailey's bath, and he went nuts for it. I offered Max a bit of apple before from some I had cut up.. but no.......
he hasn't really drunk today, but have moved his water to where he often sits.
