It took a few days for the budgie I found at work to settle in. I was not sure he would survive as he seemed so stressed. I did not see him eat or drink much or play with the toys in his cage. I kept him away from the rest of my flock but he finally started to chirp when I took him outside in a smaller cage. (this was during the summer) A year and half later...he is doing well.

thanks for letting me know that, im going to take it slow with her I feel bad she is in the tiny cage but going to get a bigger one soon and put some toys in it for her.
will play budgie songs for her like I did when she was outside may help her I think as well.

thanks everyone for all the nice words :) @Lady Jane that's a cute name for sure I have not even thought about names yet to be honest lol.
we picked up the larger budgie cage from my cowoker tonight have to get it cleaned and setup before I move her in to it. If I do end up keeping her I will get a even larger cage.
