My new budgie Ember is in quarantine at the moment... but he/she has taken to kicking all her seed out of her container!!! Ive had to fill it up twice in the last few days. She kicked it all out, so I filled it up again, went back in to check on her a few hours later, all out again! I mean, she litterally empties the container.

 

Is this normal behaviour for a new budgie?

Normal for a budgie either not used to close confinement - is a stress behaviour. Usually if you've just put it in a small cage and it's not used to it, you can get this sort of behaviour. If you move the container up you might find he/she still tries to dig in the corner of the cage too. Pretty normal and hopefully it'll settle down over time.

turbo used to do that but she has stopped now she also used to sleep in the seed container as well
