Can anyone tell me how old a budgie needs to be in order to have learned how to perch properly?? A pet store close to me seems to have acquired a budgie that they say was accidentally taken too young from their wholesale breeder & hasn't learned how to perch yet (she has received a clean bill of health in every other aspect), so I'm just trying to pinpoint her age. They say she has been weaned from mom & dad and is eating seed without any problems, so I just wasn't sure if all of the pieces fit together properly within those details.

 

Any insight would be great.

Thanks!

Most of my babies know how to perch at 4 to 5 weeks
