Brand New Budgie

Post by mrsmildred on Aug 8, 2017 8:44:17 GMT
I owned a pet shop, we never sold animals but we have several resident animals, including 2 budgies, George and Mildred. Unfortunately I had to close my shop. I had back up homes for all the animals, including the budgies. The home I had planned for G&M couldn't take them immediately so I set up a foster home (as I have a cat that likes to eat birds), put them in a smaller temporary cage, thinking they would be in there for a few days maximum. The friend who agreed to take them never responded to my messages and George died, I can only assume from stress. The foster home cleared space to set up the large cage (parrot sized cage) and has agreed to take care of her until she finds a home.
Mildred is a blue female budgie, around 2 years old. Loves attention although not tame. She loves it when you are talking to her and will happily tell you off if you aren't giving her enough attention. Been around lots of different animals including dogs. She's a bossy little madam, loves throwing things around her cage and eats a variety of fruit and veg as well as seed. She comes with enough seed, millet, treats, toys, sand and cuttlefish to last several months. She comes with a very large cage, which she must stay in whilst she settles in her new home, to give her something familiar. Ideally I want a home with other budgies or with someone who will be around most of the time to give her all the company she needs. Any potential homes will be thoroughly vetted, expect to be mildly interrogated on the phone and I would prefer to come and see your home too. Mildred has been through a lot in the last few weeks, I had her from the beginning and I want to make sure her forever home is perfect.
Please get in touch if you think you may be able to help.

I wish I could help with giving Madam Mildred a good, forever home. She sounds like a typical, well-adjusted budgie girl who knows who is the boss - her! I so love a fiesty girl. It might help all interested parties if you give us some idea of where you are based .... I am guessing UK somewhere, but a bit more info will definitely be appreciated.

I just happen to know someone who would be happy to give Mildred a forever home. The person I am thinking of does not have transport but also lives in gods own county. This person already has a rather large Hatherly cage with three residents, one female and two males. There was four until one of the females died a few months ago. Perhaps if you wish to PM me I could put you in touch with this person.

Oh, poor Mildred, losing her partner and having such a tough time. I do hope that you're about to take her OP, she'd have a great time with Bobby, Whiskers and Joey!

Mildred would be so happy and lucky to live with him.
