I need some advice on a neglected baby budgie I received

[zoo mom]

You would only need the branches. And of course they would need to be smaller around for little budgie feet. @JLcribber

I have a concern about the wire spacing. Dont want a little budgie head to get caught and is it stainless steel wire?

It's .5in by .5in spacing. I'm 95% sure it is, I'll double-check real quick though. If not, I should be able to replace it myself luckily.
Edit: (Had to ask customer support since I don't see any clear information on it, it just says metal, but it does look like stainless steel. I won't know for a couple days though)

So Phoenix was still mostly eating seeds and would refuse most of his pellets. I decided to take drastic measures. I laid some out on the table, and ate some in front of him. Now he eats them It's how I got him to eat veggies, I just hope this will be the last time I have to eat his pellets

Hahahahahah that's so funny!! I've pretended to eat my bird's pellets, but never actually tried them!! How do they taste? hehe

I've tried to pretend! He's too smart for me they tasted awful, reminds me of how dog food smells

What pellets do you use?
Mine smell like bubblegum and taste ok. I just don´t care for the powdery texture.

I love that he'll eat food he sees you eating! That's so funny. Whenever I stand in front of my budgies, eating something, I always get the feeling that they think I'm disgusting. I guess that's the difference between budgies that are human-bonded and my flock of reprobates.

Harrison's superfine high potency (Recommended by my vet for him). The flavor wasn't super strong, but everything I did taste was real bad.

Hagen Tropican.

I have also used Psittacus at times in the past too. They don´t really taste of much.

So Phoenix drops some of what I believe are his down feathers sometimes (it’s pretty rare, I’ve only seen the little white fluffy feathers like 5 times tops) but I just watched him eat one?? What was that

He might just be playing with it, not eating it. My Cheeku will also do that.....

I usually see him do that, but I also always see him spit it out. I didn’t see him spit it out this time
