[Pittapatta]

Hello there, I'm Pitta and I'm a new budgie owner. I've had my bubbies for just over 3 weeks now. My two bubby boys are Cotton (Blue and white) and Cashew (yellow and green). I used this forum a lot while Cotton was moulting about a week ago which really helped me out, so I figured I'd join the community 💖

Cotton is very vocal, he likes to chirp and bounce between the perches. Cashew is quieter, a little shy, he always looks at Cotton if he is unsure of something. Cashew is a real millet bandit though! At their old home they only ate seed, but now they're enjoying the pellets I'm feeding them, and a bit of millet as a treat once a day. Neither of them will use cuttlefish or try different fruits or vegetables. I don't force it on them, but I would like them to feel comfortable enough trying them.
