Budgies are adorable! I"m glad this one found a new and loving home with you!

You don't mention that he has any toys? Budgies are intelligent and active and need playtime. He should have a big long cage, and some natural tree branches in it to climb around on. You can hang toys from it too.

You can try giving him a few fresh romaine lettuce leaves as well. Budgies don't usually eat much in the way of fruits or even veggies, but you can try different ones to see if there is something he likes.

Something they do love is sprouted grass seeds. Grow some grass in a pot. When the grass grows long enough to go to seed, water it and put the pot in the cage! Just make sure of course that the seed contained no pesticides or herbicides!
