Budgies chirp?

Do budgies chirp and sing a lot during the day, because mine is very quite, he still traying to adjust to his new home im traying hard to geting him to like me but no responses yet he is very scared when i tray to get closer to his cage!!is driving me nuts!!
I got him 4 days a go and no signs of happines yet it is normal? how long will take him?
Answers:
If he is really scared then you need to take it slow with him. Talk to him while you are around the cage, even just walking past.
Put on some music (low) so it isn't silent, for that means danger in a budgie world. Some enjoy the music and will try to 'sing' over it.
Normally they are settled after a week or two.
Once he gets more comfortable and more mature, he will most likely start chiping more. Mine sure did.
I will take maybe a month, or a few weeks, not a few days :/
when he is happy, he will be very vocal.
dont worry, give him some time and he will be fine.
Budgies need a lot of attention, so talk to him and spend time with him.
When he gets used to the new home, maybe even let him fly around a bit
They all have their own personalities like people. It is possible that you have yourself a quiet one.
As long as he isn't showing other signs of stress or illness (i.e., pulling feathers, goopy nose or eyes, vomiting, etc.) then he's fine. If you see any of these kinds of signs, however, take him to the vet ASAP!
i currently got a budgie and it was staying in the same spot for nights and was quiet. my bird took about two weeks for it to adjust to his home. for the first few days you can change the food and water and your parakeet will watch. dont skip ahead and rush it. talk to it and put your hand near the cage until they get used to it and dont fly around like a maniac.

i think that site is the best place where you can learn about parakeets! good luck :)
They are not constant chatterboxes, but will chirp occasionally during the day. They bond (either to other birds or to humans), so if he/she doesn't have a cagemate make sure to interact with him for about 1hr./day (mostly by talking). Adjustment to new surroundings often takes several weeks, so keep at it.
yes its normal, The first budgie i got took almost 2 1/2 weeks to get settled into the new environment
each bird is differnt, the second one i just got on aug 5th, had no problems adjusting at all
Talk to yours while it's in it's cage, talk nice, in a calm soft voice and talk to it every single time you go to feed/ water him, Before you stick your hands in, While your hands are in the cage and after also
it'll take a while for him to trust you but he will, as long as you're nice to him
