Hi, I am a bit worry wondering if my new baby budgie (~8 weeks?) is sick? He has been super quiet and scared (not unexpected from the first days...), does seem to be panting a little as commonly seen on scared budgie whenever I place my hands near cage. Mainly, he has stayed at one spot on different perch or on the floor for hours and hours, now on his fourth day home, he is still sitting almost unmoving and looking rather sleepy often (same as the last 3 days)... though he has made occassional trips to seeds bowl only when I am not around... Also he has barely made one squeak this whole entire time including when he was in the going home box from the bird store or when my older budgie screaming in another room... however his tail is not bobbing, he has not been puffed up on the floor of the cage... and he has minimally started to take a little millet sprigs from me since yesterday (but not always). I guess there are some tiny progress, should I be concerned?
Sorry, if I am being over worried and just impatient... I just want to make sure he is not ill, and kind of afraid to take him to a vet when he is still so scared at this point... should I try to get him to a vet regardless? Perhaps I just have a very quiet, shy bird?
Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice.
