My 2 budgies were really happy and comfortable at the home I shared with my wife. I got divorced and she didn’t want them and I took them with me. I love alone in a new house, they have a room with similar set up like the old one (brought their cage and toys). I go work mornings and come back afternoons, but spend all weekends with them. They have music and toys but they don’t seem as happy as they used to, they don’t fly around and play at all as they used to. They just stay at 1 or 2 locations and don’t play with toys anymore. What can I do to cheer them up and help adapt?
The amount of time it takes for budgies to adapt to a new home can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the individual birds and their personalities, the size and layout of their new cage, and the amount of interaction and attention they receive from you. On average, it may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for your budgies to feel completely comfortable and at home in their new surroundings.
Spend time with your budgies every day, talking to them, playing with them, and offering treats. This will help build trust and form a bond with them, and make them feel more comfortable in their new home.
Avoid sudden changes and loud noises, as these can be stressful for your budgies and make it more difficult for them to adjust to their new surroundings.
Make sure the new cage is comfortable and safe, with plenty of perches and toys, and that it is placed in a quiet, low-stress area of your home.
wish you all the best,
