Thank you I love it, well done!!! Don't find many people in real life who love birds as much as me so a forum like this is great I know exactly what you mean! My families eyes glaze over when I talk about my birds. They are getting me gift vouchers for my birthday so that I have to spend them on myself as they know that it'll go on the budgies otherwise!

Ha ha.. Snap!! It was my birthday last Monday.. My mum phoned me up in the evening to ask if I'd had a good day and if I had treated myself to anything and I had to tell her that actually we'd ended up at a garden centre, which happened to have lots of bird toys and they'd ended up with a bag of goodies!! Luckily, I think I get my love of birds from my mum... She used to have canaries when I was little and I lost count of the number of baby seagulls she rescued when they fell off people's roofs and were too young to fly back up... We also rescued a racing pigeon when I was little once too so I think that side of it is in the blood... No-one in my family has ever had budgies before me though It's my friends who just simply don't understand... One of my friends said to me once "Most people have cats or dogs as pets.. You don't really hear of people having birds as pets" Don't get me wrong... I don't mind cats or dogs but I couldn't be without my birdies!!

Sounds like we are similarly afflicted! It's Monty's birthday tomorrow and I dread to think what my family would think of me celebrating his birthday let alone the stuff I have planned!! None of them read my blog which I am a bit sad about really.

It is sad that your family don't read your blog.. I think the trouble is unless people have spent a lot of time around birds, they don't realise how entertaining/interactive they can be and wonder why we can get so worked up about them.. I've just been to your blog and I think it's very well written and funny Your birdies have a wonderful life!!! And yes sounds like you got the budgie bug from your dad!
