@Fuzzy LOL Okay that is a relief! I’ll step off my high horse now!

If it’s a budgie, then feed good quality seed - Volkman’s parakeet seed is what I use. My guys also like corn, pasta, lettuce (to play with), peas. I buy parakeet nutriberries sometimes and crumble them into the food. I might also crumble one piece of cereal, chop an almond into tiny pieces. And of course dont forget the millet!! I gave up on pellets for parakeets. They wont touch them.

What kind of cage do you have? He is going to take some time to adjust. Hopefully he is eating by now. If not, a vet visit may be in order.

I do not recommend feeding budgies fresh corn. It can be one of the precursors to avian gastric yeast. Some avian vets and also agreeing with this. Its a good idea to be knowledgeable about AGY if you have budgies in your life.

Thanks for this @Lady Jane I did not know this. I only feed cooked frozen corn. They all seem very healthy. I assume this is okay?

It's good that Jungkook is eating and drinking now. Sorry about the biting and being aggressive. You did just bring him into your home so continue to work with him and be patient. Do not force him to step up though or come out of the cage.

@iamwhoiam has given you good advice. I suggest your updates go in the budgie section. This section is for emergencies.
I am happy for your progress. Be very patient with him and budgies like routines.
