Hi everyone I thought I would start a blog about my new budgie (first time bird owner)
From the start ......
It was much surprise to us when we found out r little baby boy blue was a girl, still my partner calls her a boy but it does not bother me .
Winnie is a active lil bird that love nothing more than to be upside down, either hanging from the top or corners of his cage she will be like that all day if she could. I never knew I really brought a bat lol
I never knew how clever a little bird could be. We sings and makes the dogs bark and listens to them as they do so. Also chirps of how dare u if u leave the room.
But tw one thing dries me mad is the diggin and sleeping in the seed pots lol we have new dustpan and brush just for Winnie and her mess.
We now awaiting the new cage which I should have really got before Winnie and also if I did it again maybe gather more info on cages before. Cause now she will have to be moved as would have been good to settle in the new age from the start
Winnie is allowed out to fly when her mum and mummy r having a post dinner cuppa and is willing to step onto a piece of dowel be brought out the cage and also be put back in the same way. She is getting better at landing. She loves the big mirror where she an stare at herself lol

Update number two today .... Whinnies palace has arrived may I add I the biggest box ever I thought I purchase a aviary at one point the cage is massive
Right putting it together wtf click this and click that 15 mins appox get lost vision cage ppl I lost a nail :-( lol and after I put it altogether I realised a panel was the wrong way around. It's like the ikea of the bird cage world
On the upside Winnie is in and looks tiny with all the space I was expecting flying an exploring ooooo no she went to the right top corner to hang upside down like the lil bat she is ha ha
Not sure on the grated floor I have visions of me scrubbing like the BBQ grill which I hate so I put the paper on top :-))
The food bowls on the bottom r a good idea but I only put on in as a large part of the cage can't be used because things being to near the feeding area

Well it's been a week now since I ha Winnie what a joy to have . She found out how to hook the swing so it crashes to floor and this hap all the time lol also have nibbles large amounts of rope the lil devil I have been looking at new toys and a play ground.
She loves her fly and luckily goes on and off a stick to allow in and out of the cage.
I hope she is not lonely because she sleeps by her mirror at night nearly huggin it but it may just be me worry far to much as I do.
I brought a new ladder wooden one to replace plastic as I am not keen on all the plastic. The new cage is fab keeps all the mess in and enjoy cleaning and seed blowing apart from I blew to hard and ending up wearing them and got it in the face lol glamour life I lead. .

The crazy bird .... Well after muh head scratching and a post on here making myself sounding like I never let my poor bird out of her cruel cage I realise that the reason she has been goo cracker is I left the stick I use to take her in and out of her cage on top o her cage she clearly did not like this and stop as soon as it was takin Off. But comments about letting her out more is noted se loves sitting on the curtain and watches my every move lol.
I also may invest in a dark cover for her cage at she like a good sing when it get light first mornin a came down stairs se was swinging an singing clearly not in any distress what so ever lol

Winnie update .... Well she is such a darling I wanna squeeze her like a accorden when I see her all asleep and when she chats to her self in the mirror how cute ! We have to do some work on training and she still does not eat her veg or millit so that's pants .
He fav toy is a mirror that spins around its a double mirror she loves to spin and sit on it. Also funny to see her rattling her bell .
She also starts to be loud when mum is on the phone without fail and makes me laugh
How bad is this I have already choose a name for a male friend who I have not got yet . I will wait to share lol
