Maybe someone can help if you'll share a bit more information.  How long has he lived with you?  Has he ever been a busy little bird?  If you just got him, has he been to the vet for a checkup yet?  Is he eating and drinking?

Most budgies are pretty busy birds.  Mine (that I used to have) bounced around the cage and played constantly.  Lots of chirping.  In fact, that's why I had them. The person who gave them to me couldn't sleep for budgies chirping.

Hope someone will have some ideas for you.

get the bird to a vet now. parakeets are my cup of tee although i dont have any know. and this is not normal. they are not quiet birds

although it not unusual for them not to play with toys it is not normal for it to just sitt there

is it fethers fluffed up? is there a green or other color stain left on the bird when it poop? that be diahareea.

Oh I bet a mate would help immensly.  If he's not sick of course.  If you've had him for 6 months though and he hasn't changed, he's probably just bored.  Maybe he doesn't know how entertaining toys can be.  Maybe he doesn't know how entertaining YOU can be.  Have you been trying to tame him?  I had two budgies together that I never tamed and they were great little pets.  They'd chirp and play and preen each other.  I would open the cage door with a clip and let them fly around the house sometimes.  When evening came they would climb back in and I could shut the door.  It worked out great for me and I never had to worry about one being lonely when I wasn't home.  Good luck with him and let us know what  you decide.  Some cool treats might perk him up a little too, mine used to love dandelion greens.

A single budgie is much more quiet than a "flock" of budgies. The more you have, the more noise you have. Try finding something with crowd noise on TV. Sports is ideal. I hate sports, but the budgies love it.
