even though i've had my two budgies for 2 years, i am no expert on them. but i guess i can relate. sky (female) is not much of an eater. she usually eats form her dish and that's all. rocket (male) eats anything you give him and he still doesn't get any taller!

when i first got my birds, they were shy and stayed to the back of the cage. i wish we could clip their wings and let them out but my mom doesn't agree so we never did. if you want them to feel more social, i think this is the best thing to do. a way i got rocket to feel more comfortable around us is that we would make him stay on our finger for a good amount of time and then pet them. it seemed to have worked. sky doesn't wanna know anything about that though. oh well.

popcornbird and other bird owners have much better information so all i'll say now is good luck and hope to see pics soon!
