Hello! Recently, my budgie Pluto has been knocking over the tiny food bowl. What he's been doing is coming to its location and using his beak to throw it off. He's not sick in any way as he is very active. What can I do to reduce this behavior?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be just playful behavior. You can consider securing it to the cage with some type of material or just getting a new water bowl of a different color she may prefer. Best of luck!
