Previous post: Due to a family emergency I ended up with my ex-husbands grannies budgie (long story but im happy to help short or long term!). She's about 8 I hear and has never been handled or left her cage. She's been housed alone in what I think feels like a smallish cage (I have a quaker with a flight cage so I don't know what to expect for budgies). She also ate exclusively millet.

Edit to update that she loves being in the same room as my quaker, never together. I was told she never sings or talks except during cartoons but she talks to my quaker everyday, all day, never not. She still doesn't like people looking at her but she likes them in the same room. I got her all new toys but left ones she physically liked to be next to, and a much much bigger cage, and started her on pellets but she won't touch chop yet, and she's used her cuttlebone. I gave her a new nest bed but should I get a box? I dunno what they enjoy. I dunno how long we will have her, as we didnt intend to get her, but wherever she goes next will get all these things so she can have more comfort in her life. Either back to family (granny is in a facility now) or I may find a home with another budgie because she seems desperate for a friend and I can't take on more birds. I just feel so much better with her quality of life right now and I hoped you'd share in my joy and tell me how else I can make her happy.

One more question: did they watch too much star wars before I got her or do all budgies make BB8/R2D2 sounds? Or is this budgie just a robot. Kthanks
