Aviary Bottom Problem

Can anyone help me out with my budgie? He’s a little dude, still young I think, but he won’t fly. Like, at all. Just kinda walks around the bottom of the aviary like a tiny penguin or something. I’ve tried putting him up on perches a few times, but he always ends up back on the floor eventually.

He’s eating okay though, so that’s good. Also, I noticed his tail feathers aren’t fully grown in yet—could that be why he’s not flying? Anyone know what’s up with this? Like, is this normal, or should I be worried? Thanks!

I have included a short video, maybe someone can spot something I have missed. He’s a lovely bird and I truly hope this is a young bird thing.

    Breeding Box Footage

    Budgie breeding boxes are basically just little wooden homes that copy the cosy tree holes wild budgies love. You’ll want untreated wood boxes around 9″x6″x6″ or 10″x6″x6″ – nothing fancy. The bottom should curve inward, so eggs don’t go rolling everywhere, plus a little perch by the entrance and a lid that opens easily.

    Budgie Perches Perches for a budgie should be offered in an assortment of sizes, heights, textures, and materials (i.e., rope). This will ensure your budgie can exercise their feet, which may help prevent sores. Budgie perches should be a minimum of 4 inches long and 3/8 inch in diameter. Wider perches will limit proper gripping, which…
