new budgie owner

Hi we have just took charge of my late father in laws budgies, we have looked after them before for about a week for holidays, and they were happy chirping etc, we now have them permently and they have stopped chirping they are still eating. Do you think they know he has passed away. Any advice, thanks.

    possibly a change in surroundings? and yes if he was very 'interactive' with them they may be missing him. try giving them a new 'toy', some cuttlefish or other budgie 'treat'?
    also did Father in law have the radio on, or the tv during the day? they do notice sounds like that I believe.
