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.

    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.

    Does my budgie actually need gravel or grit? Nah, they don’t. Here’s the thing—budgies are smart little seed crackers. They peel off the outer shell before eating the good stuff inside, so grit isn’t necessary for them. Back in the day, people thought all birds needed grit to help grind up food in their guts,…

    Feeding Dishes When picking out dishes for your budgie, you’ve got a few solid options: Here’s the deal – keep their dry food, fresh snacks, and water in separate dishes. And make sure the water dish is big enough for them to splash around in if they wanna take a quick bath. Got multiple birds?…

  • Budgie Feed Pellets vs Seed

    Byadmin

    Okay, first rule—don’t mix pellets with seeds right off the bat. That’s cheating, and your bird will just pick out the seeds anyway. Try offering pellets first thing in the morning when your budgie’s actually hungry. Sneaky? Maybe. Effective? Hopefully.
