Recently, one of Blue's caregivers went off to college and he's been having a hard time. He's seeing her about every week, but he still is feeling sad, which I totally understand. He's also grown extremely attached to the cage near his which houses six budgies. When I have him out, regardless of where he is, he will fly to their cage and refuse to leave. I don't know if this is coping behavior, or if it's something else. Can someone please help me understand why he's doing this?

I don't really have a good answer for you, but wanted to commiserate. Even goldfish can become depressed, and considering the strength of the bond a parrot will build, I'm sure you're you're right that Blue is very sad. As to why, specifically, he flies to the budgies, you're in the best position to read his body language. He might be feeling insecure and is going for "strength in numbers." He also might be getting some comfort from their company, though I would make sure they are kept separate. He would probably benefit from increased one-on-one, focused attention, if you can give it to him.
If it would be possible to post a video clearly showing his behavior, you might be able to get more help on this.
