i have a 6 month old budgie who cant fly he hasnt got anything wrong with his wings they seem ok and not broken or anything henjust cant fly. can anyone tell me why this could be and is there anything i can do to help him

Impossible to determine why without seeing it. It could be that your budgie is overweight and doesn't want to fly now cause it is too much effort for it.

he seems a little under weight. so i dont think it could be that. he has been able to fly from birth. he normally belongs in the avery but i have brought him in because im worried he isnt eating to well

I have an aviary full of budgies - they tend to not be able to fly when first put in, but then build up musicle after a week of having to fly and can then manage it!

Is it a female? Could be egg-bound...or if it is wasting away with a disease, especially a muscle wasting disease, tehn this could have something to do with it. Know it's a ******, but take it to the vets for some baytril if nothing else...
