So had our budgie Dobi for about 3 weeks. He does sing or chit chat unless he hears chirps or crickets on TV or in a YouTube video. He will eat food and millet from our hands. I've gotten him to step up but he's still nervous about doing so. I'm wondering if we're doing something wrong or he just needs more time. He doesn't really move much or play with his toys. I really want him to be the typical budgie that loves people, but he's still in a little shell. Should I continue getting him to step up? He doesn't appear sick.
I want him to bond with us before adding another budgie so what should I do?
