Its really important that you clean its bottom or he can get blocked up. In cleaning his butt, you can then see what kind of poop he is doing to determine if he is sick. A poopy bottom also with weight loss is a sign of ill health. You need to feel him for weight loss. Is his keel bone sharp ? The keel bone is the bone running down the front of his chest.

you said a couple of your budgies died, where they ones you bought or bred?

I would like to help you figure out why they are dying too.

Have you ever wormed the birds ? And did they come from a soil floor aviary ?
