When you mentioned that he had a hard time balancing himslef on the perch and the fact that he is still eating I think "tumor". I've had the same thing happen to me twice. the vet prescribed antibotics because at first he didn't feel a tumor. Dexter seemed to improve slightly for a few more weeks and then got worst. That is when the vet felt the tumor. The colorful budgies are more prone to tumors due to inbreeding. Like I said, I hope I am wrong and your budgie improves.

Thanks for the info. I know we've been thinking that there is perhaps some neurological problem going on with Budgie because of his inability to balance and get around. He just seems so young to be having such a problem, but he is one of the more colorful budgies and not a green one. It is so unfair. I plan on taking him back to the vet on Saturday or before if he seems to be going downhill again.
