male budgie suddenly sleeping all day.

[evelynk]

Hey i have a male budgie and he’s about 4-5 months and he’s usually all over the place. he’s usually energetic and singing all the time and suddenly this morning he wasn’t singing like he usually does. he hasn’t been chirping anything all day. he’s just been sleeping any chance he gets. He’s not sitting at the bottom of the cage, his poop is normal, he’s eating and drinking, he’s not puffed up or anything. I don’t know whether to be worried or not. some help:))

Is he moulting? He is around the age when first moult would occur. They sleep a lot when moulting, since it takes up a lot of energy and it also helps in generation of cystine, which helps with moult...

I'd take him to an avian vet and get him checked out to make sure he's okay.

Sleeping a lot and not singing could mean he's under the weather.
