hi agen:) i was just wandring, if i should buy some other containers for the food. i got 4 container things, that u put on the cage, on the outside, and inside, the stand on these horizontal things, like mini perches which are attached to the containers. now they dont know what they are, and only eat from the seeds i put on the floor, is this becasue they dont know what it is, because ive only had them for a week, or is it because they dont want to use them? sould i buy some other containers for the food :) (link)

Its just that they are not used to them. They will learn in time, only however if you stop giving them seeds on the floor. It is what they are used to and they will continue to do so if you dont stop. What I'd recommend is that you gradually decrease the amount of seed that you are putting on the floor and place a colourful new toy like a mini budgie beside one of the containers to attract them to it. Eventually they will start eating from there and then you'll be able to stop the seed on the floor completely.
I've learned that budgies are creatures of habit, you just have to break them out of it xxx
