Hello all, I am a first time budgie owner, I have had Buddy since June 2020, he was so tiny when we first got him.
I am hoping to pick up tips etc, there is one thing concerning me at the moment, Buddy is having a major moult, he has lost quite a few tail feathers and lots of little fluffy ones. He has a cage but has free run of our conservatory for most of the day. He is having trouble flying and has fallen to the floor a couple of times, he seems very nervous and more quiet than usual, is this normal? He is eating and drinking ok and still playing with his favourite toys, any advice please?

Welcome! Molting can be tough on them. You can try giving him some Brewers Yeast. I will look for the post on it for you to read.

This wasn't the one I was thinking of but it still gives a good explanation.
