Emily&Pixel
Checking out the neighborhood
Hi there !! My name is Emily and I just got my first bird yesterday. He's a (assumed very young) budgie that I've named Pixel. As of now, I'm only slightly sure he's a male, but even if he's not the name will stay the same. I've been anxiously awaiting when he would become less stressed about his new home since upon opening the pet carrier he flew out ^^; I stayed as calm as possible while attempting to catch him, but I was very afraid he would be extremely skittish because of it. Fortunately, about an hour ago he finally started eating! I've been occasionally making noises toward him and speaking/singing in a calming tone and I guess it paid off! As of now, he's been only eating his seed but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting him to try pellets since I hear a seed diet can be very unhealthy. I also don't have any millet for him and I'm wondering if that would be very worth getting.
If anyone has any tips on making sure he has the fullest life I'm always up to hear them!
Anyhow, I'm very excited for this new member of my family and sincerely hope I do everything correctly.
