Why is my budgie eating its own poop? Should I be concerned?

Have him examined by your veterinarian to diagnose any medical causes for the behavior. Review the diet with your veterinarian as well. Feed a good quality pelleted diet (Harrison's, Lafeber, KayTee Exact or Pretty Bird) supplemented with a fortified seed mix and fresh fruits and vegetables. Clean the cage daily to remove the opportunity to eat droppings. Use a grate in the bottom, if one is not in place, to keep him off the cage bottom.
