Fantastic news, I noticed that you were online and waited for you to post before I started making dinner! I'm so glad that you did this. Whiskers and Joey are going to be so happy together! Also glad that you got to meet Geoff too..

Yay! So glad Whuskers doesn't sound stressed and hope you aren't too shattered! Do we know if Whiskers is used to being out? I can't remember if it is somewhere on a thread
How exciting for both buds
I would have been a wreck

Sorry ffiscool, I was not far off I can tell you. I just needed to remind myself of the look of reief on Geoff's face knowing that his beloved budgie will be well looked after. I know that feeling for different reasons.

A wonderful result - the next few weeks will seem long. Can't wait for when they meet!

Finger training time. I think Geoff said he wasn't trained. A different task to what Joey was. Whiskers will run rings round Joey. And me maybe.

Such a emotionally charged story, so bitter sweet. I am so happy for little whiskers and of course Joey and Pops but feel that Geoff will miss the companionship. The best thing has been done for Whiskers and for that I applaud you Geoff. Stick around and join the family, we're a friendly bunch.
Looking forward t seeing some pictures of the new member, Whiskers.

The fact he wasn't scared of you, I reckon you will get him trained in no time. Just get Joey to share his tips with Whiskers

But if Joey is tame then Whiskers will trust you because he will see that Joey does.
I have many birds that will sit on my arm even though they have budgie friends.

He most certainly isn't afraid of me in any way. He is so lively. That is an interesting point Marianne.
