So sorry to hear about Imzi. It was bad enough when Huckleberry passed after his long fight, but now lovely Imzi too... how tough for you. I feel sick to my boots reading about the poor neglected bud. I hope someone here can help out. Thank you for the post... Both budgies were lost to mega-stinking-bacteria! Imzi is my kind boy, he is very sweet and soft-hearted. He is not a fighter like Huckleberry. He lost some weight and wasn't doing so well so we let him go with dignity. it was hard putting him to sleep Same here sweetpea. I felt something in my throat when the lady told me what her nephew did. I spoke to him after and confirmed what she had told me. He really has no idea what to do. I told him how he can help but he told me he has no interest in looking after this budgie anymore. He is interested in his studies and does not have time for it. I wish I had known sooner. I look back at how lucky Imzi and Huckles were. They had the whole house to fly around in whenever they felt like it, they got £100 worth of toys every year and a massive parrot tower to play on. Not to mention showers every friday and clean cages, lots of treats and interaction. I feel quite proud that I did that for 8 whole years- my only let down was not getting them at a healthier weight and for not checking their weights regularly.

Oh ninz1, I am getting more keen to rescue this little bud. I hve two younger budgies and two older budgies and I'm sure a new one would settle in really soon after a quarantine period. My buds are allowed out every day and have lovely toys and a very nutritional diet of seed, millet and veg.

Would love to see a picture of the little guy x Oh Samwiseg... it's been so difficult. Thank you for your kind comments. My vet said something very similar, he said his budgies only lived until 6 years so 8 years is a fantastic age. I am pleased about that as many people have not been as fortunate as me to have had their budgies for this long. However, saying that, I would have loved to have them for another 8 years and more! When my vet said, he is old! To which I said but he looks like a baby!! He found that hilarious! Imzi will always be my baby. Don't they look so baby-like? They have such cute faces, incredibly hard to say no to! The new budgie will hopefully have a home... I am currently waiting for the lady to get back in contact with me.

Oh ninz1 , I am getting more keen to rescue this little bud. I hve two younger budgies and two older budgies and I'm sure a new one would settle in really soon after a quarantine period. My buds are allowed out every day and have lovely toys and a very nutritional diet of seed, millet and veg. He is going to be one spoilt budgie if you have him He has never been out as his owner is scared of him. He told me that he bites but in all honestly, if a budgie is not used to human interaction, it is quite likely to be afraid and to peck here and there. Imzi did that, so did Huckleberry but it soon went away when trust was built. He has only a few toys and I highly doubt he gets veggies and fruits. His owner said he has given him millet and his normal seeds. He doesn't know what is poisonous for a budgie, e.g. avocado etc I just cannot wait for this budgie to have the love and the freedom he so sorely deserves.

I can't wait either ninz1!! I really want to introduce this budgie to all the nice things he has missed and give him the company he so rightly deserves, from me and my budgie crew.
