Budgie won't fly

[Hezz]

There may some physical thing that is preventing the poor bird from flying. We had a member a while back who had a bird who couldn't fly due to some lack of flex in a wing joint - it couldn't stretch it's wing out to full extension. If there is something similar with your chick, Carl, while it may not make it in an aviary, there is no reason it couldn't make a beautiful house pet.
