Introducing Busby

[feathers]

Introducing Busby – (a photo shoot earlier this year).

Props all set up and off we go ..........

You know I don't do pink!




Well I like it even if you're not happy




I think the props need adjusting!




Refreshment time




That's right I'll do anything for millet




Looks like the props are on the move again!




Told you so




BlueJay please be my Valentine




That's me finished

He looks so well Val:) I hven't seen him in ages! Does he still do a bit of skateboarding to kill the time? Hes the spitting image of his brother Bud:)

[samwiseg]

LOL!!! What lovely pictures and captions too! They ALWAYS have to re-arrange things to their way (they know how its supposed to look....apparently) ;D

[BudgiesBuddy]

Very beautiful pictures of a very handsome fella. Love the captions

[stace]

Cute pics. You're so right, Sam. They can be good subjects, until they have one of those tanties, like, what's my motivation?, why am i sitting here? why can't I eat this prop?

[Hezz]

A lovely photo shoot!

Pssst, .... Busby! I don't "do" pink either! Red, now, that's a whole different story!

[feathers]

Thank you all for your lovely comments, Busby has gone off to make sure he is well preened in the hope I might take some more photos

Hi nat, yes Busby is doing fine, are there any pics of Buds around?

As for the skateboarding that has been put on hold at present.

[BudgiesBuddy]

Yeah that's art, isn't it. Great videos

I love the videos, they are absolutely brilliant! Tell Busby that real men aren't aftraid to be seen with pink either... tee hee!

[stace]

That's so cool. Great vids and cute dudes. How long did it take to teach them to skateboard?

Thanks Stace, for the first couple of weeks I would sit and talk to Busby while he was sitting on the board and push him around on a flat surface. One morning I tried him on a small slope and after about the third morning instead of flying off he succeeded. By about 6 weeks he was using longer slopes. The first video was taken after about 8 weeks of training by which time he wasn’t really looking for treats but was just enjoying himself.

BlueJay was a lot quicker (2 weeks), she could see Busby was getting a lot of attention so she was eager to join in, and yes the run did get longer.
