I have now had my Budgie, Oliver, 16 days and he seems much more relaxed and comfortable than when first bought from Petco. He will let me touch him more than before, but still won't leave the cage. I say "pretty bird" often, but not sure if he will ever talk.
However, two of the toys in the cage have mirrors which Oliver loves. Some days he has total fun-filled days running on his perch chirping going from one mirror to the other. I hate to take the mirrors out because I'm afraid he'll feel lost without them, and I want him to be happy. I bought him another toy, no mirrors on it, but has ropes, small straws, etc. and he's fallen in love with that. I really don't think he wants to leave the cage because he's got things in it he loves. There is also a swing which Oliver spends a lot of time on.
Has having, or not had mirrors had an effect on your bird (s)? I think it makes Oliver think there's other birds in the cage and relaxes him. It may mean he won't talk, but at least he's happy.
