Hi,
I went to the pet store to pick up some budgie food and made the mistake of looking at the budgies. Needless to say, I went home with a new cage (was planning to buy another anyway) and a new budgie. He is a beauty, but I am concerned that he may not be entirely healthy, so I will most likely have to take him back :( .
Anyway to get to the point, I was pretty sure that someone had posted a link to a site with pictures and descriptions/explanations of budgie poop, but I can't find it and it seems I did not bookmark it. I bought the budgie last Thursday and I do not have any evidence that he has eaten anything, except that he is still alive. :) But there are no seed husks around.
I am concerned because he is not doing a complete job of preening, He pretty much stays in one area of the cage and sometimes the tip of his wing feathers is below his tail. I had my suspicions from the start, but I wanted him, so I took a chance.
Oh and he is definitely being quarantined.
