Hello, I got 4 Budgies today. I have one, and it was really active on the car and kept flapping about and (guessing) trying to escape, and he has been on the bottom of the cage fumbling about ever since. Now it’s just lying on the bottom, and a few minutes later it was just sitting there. I don’t know what is up with my budgie, but I hope any of you could help. Could just be nothing, maybe he’s just tired. Then again, he could be hurt.
