Hi Porthos what lovely names, lots of information and advice on here and it is addictive, you have to keep checking what everyone and their buds are doing. Quiet today on the board but people will say hello over the next day.

Hello and welcome. We do have a member or two that know a thing or two about parrots. But we do know more about budgies though. I also like the names you have chosen, quite a change to hear human like names.

thanks for your welcomes im really looking forward to being part of the forum and i love my parrots but am here to talk budgies i i grew up with budgies and haven't had any for years and i cant believe i went that long without them i love them so much, thanks about their names, i never used to be a fan of human names for animals but they (to me) are such individuals and are like children to me in the respect they come first before anything else i now prefer it, who do you have in your flock?

You are right on the nail with their characters, so individual. I have you named Joey, which I chose. I am also new with budgie keeping. I also have one named Whiskers. He was named before I adopted him. There is quite a story about Whiskers within the forum.

Welcome porthos and your parrots and budgies. Love their names, you must let us know about your parrots too, there is a section on 'Other birds and pets' (I put news about my chickens on there!!) My four (sorry, three - I just lost Lacey ). So my three are Harvey, Charlie and Missy. I will get another budgie when the weather warms up, and I can quarantine him/her, so that Charlie has company, three being the odd number.
