Hello Everyone!

I am relatively new to budgie stewardship and have only seriously gotten into it since about June 2021. I am completely hooked now.

I am currently staff for four budgies, a chocobo* and a gerbil. (Well strictly, I have two budgies and one of those has two of his own budgie.) 

You'd call me an enthusiastic amateur budgie keeper, with no plans for breeding, showing and such. I am in this for the friendship, companionship and because simply observing these little guys beats any TV or cinema that has ever been existed.

In other news, I am retired, a motorcyclist and I have been active on all manner of social media sites but not FB or Instagram.

in order of seniority:





Mr Hibs - in overall charge




Eeyore - the Muscle




Patch - Eeyore's protegé



Squeak - Mr Hibs' favourite




Chocobo - a chocobo (or kakariki if you prefer)




Brown Jenkin - if you are a fan of HP Lovecraft, you'll understand

Now, I'll try to get up to speed with the forum, in between running errands for the avians.

Welcome, lovely photos and explanations

Hi! Love the pictures and you have a beautiful family of critters. The collection of blue and white budgies is just fabulous. I bet they all keep you entertained all day. I have two male budgies and just love watch them whether they are playing, eating or just snoozing.

I love the photo bomb pictures. What a bunch of cutties sitting so close together. I also love your description of the flock dynamics!

Welcome to the forum! Your birds are so lovely and also your gerbil. I look forward to hearing more about them.

Thank you for the welcome, Everyone!

This is a very nice forum and there's a lot of experience here that will help folks like me take the best care of their beloved birbs.

Hello,

I know what you mean about two of your budgies belonging to one of the others. Our budgie had two of his own too

And Brown Jenkin is a marvellous name for a gerbil. One of our budgies was called Randolph Carter. In the past we had gerbils called Edgar, Allan and Poe.

I recognised the name Randolph Carter instantly when I saw it in your recent thread, being one of my favourite fictional characters and I absolutely love that you named one of your flock after him. It wasn't appropriate for me to bring that up there (I felt) but I'm delighted you have here so that I can congratulate you 😊

Edgar, Allan and Poe 🤣 Fabulous and I salute you.
