Your budgie is probably just stressed and trying to get used to his new environment. Try offering him a special treat, like a seed or a piece of fruit to entice him to eat. Even if he is not eating his food be sure to put fresh food in the cage each day. He may also only be eating when no one is watching him. He will likely start eating once he gets used to his new surroundings. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
