Hello everyone, my name is Carol. Ive been addicted to this fantastic forum for quite a few months and have learnt loads from you all. I finally got my own baby budgie a few days ago from a local breeder. He's about 7-8 weeks old and a light blue dominant pied (I think).Not a colour I imagined I would get but when I asked the breeder which of his babies was the friendliest he put this little chap into my hands where he sat and climbed around for a good 15 minutes, which was all the time I needed to fall in love with him.So I look forward to joining in and sharing his adventures with you. Thanks for all the information and posts about your beautiful buds, because of it I can hopefully give my yet unnamed little one a great home.

Welcome Carol and baby bud. This is indeed a great forum and I'm glad you found us. Would love to see a picture of little bud. Have you any ideas for names yet?

Thanks for the welcome. Just trying to work out how to post a picture but managed to put one as my avatar.Im sure we'll figure it out soon.Im hoping to get some pics of him in the daylight tomorrow which should be better.As regards his name I thought a good one would come to me after watching him for a few days, but no idea yet.Suggestions from my daughters are Percy,Jay(blue jay)and Bertie. I quite like Bertie but don't know yet.Any ideas?

Thank you all for the welcome. His cere does look pale on that picture starlingqueen, I'll try to get a better one tomorrow.I asked the breeder a few times if he was male and he said he was pretty good at telling the sex of even young birds so I hope he was right.If not Ive still got a lovely budgie.

Well if I get some good pictures in daylight and see what everyone thinks about him or her it will make the name choice easier.
