My budgies aren't eating. Are they sick or just messy eaters?

Question

Hi,I have 4 budgies since last mont. My budgies are not eating from last 2 days. Whenever i am trying to give them seeds in their food bowl, they are throwing it out of the bowl. Can u tell me what may be the reason or what i have to do?

It could be that they are tossing the seed hulls (which may look like whole food) as birds will hull the seed in their beak and then toss the hull and eat the insides. If this is the case, this is normal behavior. If none of your birds are eating, however, I would be concerned there is some sort of illness going on, or there is something wrong with the food. If you haven't already, trying a different seed and pellet mix that is brand new may determine if it is the food freshness itself or the birds. If the birds are showing any signs of illness in addition to not eating such as lethargy, staying fluffed up, etc, then it is best to schedule a vet exam and have them all examined.
