Hi everyone, I just wanted to take the oppertunity to introduce myself to the forum. I only joined today, and as I understand it, and from what I've seen so far, not only do you guys know your stuff, but you're all very friendly.
Which is great for me!
So, a little about me.
I used to own a pair of budgies a few years ago, who unfortunately died after a long lives with myself and my family. Between then and now I've been moving around and been unable to own any pets, let alone a feathered friend. However, as I'm now settled in a place for the long term foreseeable future, I was finally able to invest in a new friend.
I decided against buying two budgies, and instead settled for one who I brought home today to his new cage. I'm hoping to be able to tame him, as the old pair we had in the family weren't particularly tame and whenever were taken out of their cage would fly around madly.
This little fellow (I think?) I have is from a breeder here in UK, who sells to an independant pet store not far from where I live. The birds they sell are all handled, so they're used to hands and people, but I'm still taking things very slowly. I managed to get a few brief photos of him before popping him in his cage to settle in for the next two or three days.
I've called him Snow, because as I'm unsure whether he is a he or could be a she, I wanted a name that could apply to both genders. :]
I guess a little more about me would be nice, I live in the UK, alone. I also have two fresh water tropical fish tanks which keep me quite busy.
I like playing games, at the moment I'm playing Final Fantasy X on the Vita as it recently came out as being remastered. I also enjoy drawing and writing quite a bit, and watching silly television shows, like Top Gear (not a petrol head, but just like Clarkson, May and Hammond a lot!)
And... yes! Nice to meet you!
EDIT. Uh... okay. I can't get the pictures to show...
Edit 2: Haha! Got them figured out. Apologies. x.x
