I need help convincing
My mom refuses to believe seeds are unhealthy for birds and I'm trying to prove we should get pellets, but she keeps saying, if it's not food why do they put it up on shelves in petco.. please help me convince her

One eye closed
My budgie always has one of his eyes closed and occasionally scratches it. Could there be something wrong with his eye or just budgie being budgie?

male budgie growl [volume up]
I had to cut to a moment in which they got loud enough to record, and here they were also bickering, but before this was a minute-long no-contact staring contest in which they made this very quiet "eeeehhh" noise. It's a bit like they're challenging the other to do the first move, or saying "you better get off or I'll get angry! you don't want to see me angry!" They do it now and then. Do your birds "growl" too?

How long ?
How long do I keep my budgie in horny jail? Caught them trying to mate and immediately separated them. Only now I realize how hormonal my male budgie is, I thought he was simply being playful. Anyway, I'd like to know how long should I keep them separated? I know about hormones regulation, but I don't know if there are visible cues that he's doing better. Right now, they're still trying to regurgitate to each other (although separated) it's only been a day.

Why does he do this? I've had him for 3 months and he's still not getting used to anyone. The second I get him on my finger and out he flies right back to the cage. He's always very scared to eat, you can't make a sound else he'll go away and won't eat for the entire day until he's extremely hungry
He always sees my other budgie playing with toys and seen her do this for 3 months. He still doesn't attempt to play with anything or do anything. What can I do?

My budgies don't like fruits. They love cucumber though, but I also had to dip them first in Millet
