Refusal to eat: what to do if a budgie does not eat or drink - we understand the reasons
If a budgerigar refuses to eat, the reason may not only be poor quality food.
Let's figure out why a bird might not eat anything.
Reasons for refusing food
Refusal to eat, and especially to drink, is a reason to think about whether everything is okay with your pet.
Moreover, this sign may indicate the following:
- the bird got sick;
- the parrot is cold (let us remember that it is a heat-loving bird);
- the budgie is stressed;
- He doesn't like the food.
If the cause lies in an illness, then you will not be able to eliminate it yourself - it is better to consult a doctor.
In other cases, you can try to cope on your own.
If your bird is not eating due to stress, just try covering the cage with a thick cloth for a couple of days.
If we are talking about refusing fruits and vegetables, and you have recently acquired a parrot, most likely, it has simply never eaten such products. Therefore, you just need to give it time to get used to and get used to the new diet.
Earlier we wrote about how to understand that a parrot is sick.
