Hi, I am from Romania. I have 2 budgies that i adore. Lately one of them started to behave strangely. He is spilling the water and food by biting the side of the food container. do you think he has problems with his beak????

Budgies like to do strange things like that sometimes.:) Unless he is showing other symptoms as well, he's probably fine. A picture of his beak might help if you can get one. You might want to make sure he has a cuttle bone he can chew on, as well as maybe some natural wood perches or chew toys. That might tempt him to chew on those instead. On the other hand, he might decide he prefers to chew the dish.:( I have one who insists on chewing up ladders, in spite of the fact there are plenty of other chewables in the cage. I just keep several spares around, and replace it when it gets too chewed up. Are you sure he is a male? While all budgies can chew, it is a little more common with a female, especially if they are going into breeding mode.
