I just got a new parakeet today. I really like him, but he just sits there! I mean its only been a little bit of time, but he doesn't move around unless I come near him. Is it because he's new and is unsure and scared? Is this a common thing when people first get parakeets? Do you think he'll start moving once he's more used to it? He moved around a lot at the store, but here he doesn't. Please give me your input!

Also if you have any good names for a green and yellow Parakeet, please tell me!
Thanks!

Its really okay if he dosn't move around as much as you want him too I mean ok when he was in his cage before you got him he was used to his surondings but now his all by him self so he is in a little shock and he is just getting used to everything. Dont worry after a month or so when his is used to everything he will get around. Keep us posted with your bird!

Well your bird is in shock after a while he will get used to you dont worry he might be really tired from the hole trip and everything.
