This was Dinku's original cage, it's a very big and heavy wooden ferplast. Instead I used my pet carrier and set up a new cage (it'll be very temporary as in my experience, as soon as they meet the gang, they choose an overnight cage that has budgie friends in it)

You do! It's Max's cage, I have had it in storage, since Max moved in with the boys. I was offered Dinku's cage, but it would have been really hard to get in an uber!! So I took some of his favourite things instead. Do I recognise that cage? It was the flat perch that I noticed

Will you try to train him or is he already finger trained?

Welcome Dinku, you'll have a great time with your new friends. A bit sneaky M with the name in your signature, I didn't spot it either , although I did wonder if you would get any new additions after losing Lyra and Bertie.

I don't really bother with taming to be honest. Max is the only budgie that will readily hop on my hand. But George and Peter will do so to allow me to lift them to safety. I am hoping he'll be good friends with Max as they are around the same age. But as we all know, budgies never make the friendship choices we expect! Will you try to train him or is he already finger trained?

I was told he was clicker trained to eat millet from the hand. But when I clicked at him with the clicker, he looked at me like I was an alien. So I think that he would only do that with "his people".

Is it Chilli Pepper in your profile picture, or was that George?

Welcome Dinku!! He's beautiful Marianne Marlow and he's a very, very lucky boy to find a home with you and the gang. He's going to have a blast!

I have noticed that when I talk to Dinku up close, his eyes turn to little pin points. Does he like me or does he want to eat me?!

I have only ever seen a budgies eyes do this when they are singing and focusing on a point (or friend), bashing it/them.

Have you offered up your beak for a bashing?
