Hello I have just joined BBC and we have a budgie named Elijah. He is blue and very pretty.
I have been concerned as he seemed to be biting himself but the lady at the pet shop assured me that he was more likely preening himself.
I have introduced a mirror and I am buying a new ladder and swing and getting some more toys hoping that will kill any boredom he might be experiencing.
I will eventually buy another budgie but it isn't in the budget at present. He is a young bird only about 2 weeks old we got him last week and he was 10 days old then so maths might not be quite right.
