Yesterday I got a parakeet so now I have two but he hasn't eaten at all since I got him. When I got my first parakeet about a month ago, this parakeet ate and flew around and chirped within the first few hours! So i'm worried, I don't know what to do or maybe this is normal? He seems to have taken to my other parakeet well and they both get along and my other parakeet eats so i'm not sure if its just the setting or if he needs some time, I'm concerned. If there's anything I can do please let me know! The food dish has food and they even have a millet in there.

It can take a bit for the Budgie to get used to the new surroundings. I am guessing the new one waits till you are not around and then eats.

What does the new one do when the other is eating? Two seed dishes might be a good idea.

He is probably fine. The second dish is a good idea in case the first budgie is chasing him away from the food. He may only be eating when you are not around, due to still settling in and being a bit fearful.

He will eat just give him time! They take time to adjust but should be fine especially now with the second dish - smart move.
