Antics I think there will be and plenty of them. I have just sat watching him sort of licking a bell that is on the bottom of a swing. All of a sudden he gives the bell such a bop. I must get that for you all. He has this habit of whenever I put my face near the cage he jumps straight at the bars, not in a vicious way. He did this for Geoff and I have forgotten what happened next. Hopefully Geoff will explain.

I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight OP, you probably won't, as your mind will still be running at 100mph. A new chapter begins tomorrow for all 3 of you. Me and my 2 boys wish you all the best.

Whiskers sounds adorable. And fearless. If he is that lively once he and Joey meet, it will be interesting to see how Joey acts. I foresee lots of fun

I've enjoyed following this thread even though not up to commenting, such a kind thing for you to do OP, I'm sure Geoff will know Whiskers in in the best possible hands. I can't wait to hear how he & Joey fare together, all in due course. Especially wondering how Joey will act. You're a kind man that's for sure.

Thank you jellybean. I just hope I can sleep for a few hours at least. I haven't so far this week.
ffiscool, for such a little guy he is absolutely fearless. I found if I stick my nose against the bars he tickles it with his beak. Whether he is trying to get hold of it I don't know. I won't risk trying to find out.
A bit of chatty time with Joey now.

Whiskers is obviously one happy bud. I think he sounds affectionate. Just shows how different their personalities are.

This is a wonderful, heartwarming, bittersweet story. That Geoff loved Whiskers so much that he would make sure he is well taken care of by his new Pops. That OP loves budgies so much that he would drive hours to make sure Whiskers has a new life that he deserves. You two men are heroes! My best to you, Geoff. And to OP, Whiskers and Joey. Job well done.

I knew what would happen reading the posts, I'm running out of bog roll Glad both of you arrived home safely. I knew the moment you approached Whiskers, that he was going to be happy in his new home with you. OP, when Whiskers jumps onto the bars, he just wants to show his affection by nibbling your lips. He was doing that when you came into the lounge the first time. He was so gentle doing so, he never once made me feel apprehensive. (Edit - He was gentle from the first time he did so.) He also enjoyed preening my beard. Cannot believe he has adopted you so quickly. Oh sugar more bog roll needed. Geoff - Somewhat sad but happy

So pleased for you, Geoff, that OP has managed to help ease your load a little. What a wonderful ending. It's going to be fun getting to know Whiskers.
