Mother of Budgies

[Wendybird]

Hello everyone

I am so excited as I am going to be a Budgie Mother in two days time.

I have owned birds for a good part of my life but have been without any for the last two years... Two very dull years...

My husband has given in to me and agreed to my having two budgies, he was worried about me ever having birds again after I caught Psittacosis from a rescued Amazon parrot a few years back... I became very ill but once the GP sent my blood away I got the result and correct antibiotic. Happy to say the parrot was treated and was fine too.

I have always adored birds, budgies in particular since I was about five. My Auntie Doris had a bright green beautiful budgie and I could yet take my eyes off him... I had my very own canary after that called 'Poppins' as I was also obsessed with Mary Poppins! 

I have several hand hand tame babies to choose from on Wednesday, I will see if any take to me before I choose. They are at home with their breeder and look in great form.

I have a Hagen Vision medium cage and also a small wooden aviary for the warmer days.

I am looking forward to getting to know you all and any advice you can give me as a newbie will be most welcome.

Two more sleeps! 😀
