I know this is a horrible question...but is the bird still alive? Normally if they are not hand fed they will not suddenly do it. The only time 2 of my birds did this (on different occasions) was just before they died. But with such an old bird it could also be searching warmth to alleviate age pains. It could also be that through old age he cannot reach his back feathers and feels frustrated. I can only suggest that he be kept lightly warmed, with vitimen rich food (maybe try some fresh millet...you need to moisted regular millet and leave it in a warm bright place for a few days till it sprouts) and maybe also a soluble vitamin dose in his water (available in pet stores). I hope this helps. I am sorry about my late reply but I was traveling. I know this is a horrible question…but is the bird still alive? Normally if they are not hand fed they will not suddenly do it.

Yes, you can put the cage near a tv or radio so he can hear voices. Maybe an audio children's book would help too. Kids books are great because they are simple and clear. Kids songs can be fun too because they are repetitive. As for sexing the bird it is difficult for the six months until their beaks establish an adult coloring but your info. is correct. The females have a brown coloring around the nostrils and the males have blue. But as I say it is hard to tell until they are adults as they can look alike when they are young.

Is the bird in a nesting box? Is the father feeding the mother bird? Are the babies healthy? Please let me know.

Found your info very helpful for our first white budgie "Bod" (Named after the main character in the Neil Gaiman book- The Graveyard book (in case you wondered). I am now driving the family crazy by repeating the word HELLO to him, especially when he is being vocal. Do you have any tips for teaching them to talk or is it just constant, annoying repetition? Also, what colour is the bridge of the nose for males/females. I am told that this is how you sex them. Hi Nigelnix.

He is constantly in his food pot not sure if he is always eating or if he is just sifting through it. He would never come on your hand but now likes to come on my hand and berry his head in my other cupped hand and will let me stroke his head and body. he seems to want something on his back. he dose not seem ill. He will walk around the room or have a little fly but come back to me and snuggle in my hand. If this is a mating thing why has it not happened before? Very strange. Hope you can put my mind at rest.
