the problem is i bought my pet snowy on sat and up until now he had never seemed to eat or drink or made a noise but today iv came home and there are some husks on the floor so he seems to be eating now, But still has never made a noise is it possible he may be a mute or could there be something else wrong with him, i keep coming home expecting him to be chatteriung away but he never does am really quite down over this coz i love the sound of a budgie chirping away can any 1 help me, Or can some 1 put me up some budgie noise that i can burn to cd or something so i can play it my pet to try ad stimulate it to start talking iv searched all over the net to try and find some sounds but all i can find is 3 second sounds and stuff i would like some chirping or somethin to play to him so if any1 can help me id be much obliged.

Many thanks Phil & Snowy

that is great that he is eating.

he could be still shy/afraid still so that could be why he is quite, l found some links that may help you,

also you can leave your tv or radio on too because budgies don't like silence.

yup... Chances are he's still nervous in his new home. That he's started to eat is a good sign that he's starting to feel more comfortable. Having some background noise for him is a good idea as well as your recording idea. Is he your first budgie?

Pretty didn't make any noise in the beginning and he was a very quiet bird for a couple months. Each bird is different I doubt he is a mute Boys are more vocal then girls also.

Great that Snowy is eating, maybe just talk softly to him, soft music in the background and toys and treats around. You would be kind of insecure too if you moved into a new place. Read the FAQS on taming and nutrition, I am sure you two will be the best of buddies!

Its my first budgie in over 15 years i had 1 as a child and can never remember ahving this many problems, iv just got home from wrk and 1 of his eyes is closed over he opens it and stuff but is blinking a lot and msotly keeps it shut, am havin so many problems with him at the mo.
