The male budgie my family had years ago would show plenty of excitement every time he'd see a piece of fruit/vegetable or even egg yolk in my hands, heading for his cage! Before eating, he would chirp loudly, moving his head up and down, then approach the piece of food and gently touch it with his foot and beak, while leaning closer and murmuring softly to it. It was like he was making a love confesssion to his treats before eating them, lol! I miss him so, watching him being like this would cheer up even the worst days... He had such a character!

My last budgie lived for 14 years 4 months. She lived on a seed and grain mix, millet and honey sticks. They are native to Australia and are ground feeding seed eaters. It was a beautiful sight to see large flocks of budgies in the wild, although they are considered by some to be pests.

You can also stop feeding for a couple of hours then try feeding from your hand. This works particularly well for male birds I've had. I hope this helps 🙂

Mirrors are good for birds because it helps promote the idea of a flock. It is not a bad thing for them to think there are other birds, that's the point.

Or try and have some (solid enough) big pieces of fruit/veg threaded with a couple of colourful yarn, so that you can hang it from the top of the cage as a toy ( tying also a small bell recommended!). Any mix and match of colours, shapes and textures will surely draw her attention! :)
