Its perfectly normal! New birds take a week or so to "settle in"". Some longer, depending on how shy/bold they are. Once they are used to their new surroundings,they will be ok. Keep an eye on them, checking seed,blowing off shucks twice daily,refreshing water once twice daily. Check daily for normal droppings.Here are some tips for you:

Tips for the First 7 Days

Following these will help your bird acclimate

happily to its new home

Place the cage up off the floor in a secure, peaceful and preferably low traffic area.

Do not place the cage in direct sunlight or in the path of a heating or air conditioning vent.

Cover the sides, back & top of the cage. Slowly move the cover back until it is removed by day 7.

Put seed in the cup and sprinkle some on the floor of the cage until your bird is using the seed cup.

Extra birds require extra seed cups. When adding a new bird, add extra food cups. Two per new bird.

Do not handle the bird for the first 7 days as it is already frightened by its new surroundings.

Refill the seed every day, removing shucks. The water cup should be washed every day.

Quiet birds are frightened birds. Move slowly until your bird is active and acclimated.
