I got a female parakeet last night. She's surprisingly tame already.

I know she is still adjusting to her new cage, but I have yet to see her
eat. Of course, this doesn't mean she hasn't but I'd like to make sure I
have proper dishes.

For food I have this (using the vertical bar one, but also have the large):

For water I have this (I also laid out a standard cup feeder full of
water just in case):

I prefer these kinds of feeders so I can more easily monitor how much
food is remaining and not worry about discarded food mixing in with the new.

I have a cuttle bone in there as well as 2 toys that hang, one being
wood/rope and the other a metal wire ball that can hold treats.

She just doesnt seem to move around much. How long would you say the
adjustment period is?

Thanks!
