Hello all. I was looking for a forum in the UK but the only one I could find "adorable budgies"seemed to have a virus and kept sending me odd links. It looks as though you are a worldwide forum though so I should fit in here too!
One of my daughter's had a lovely budgie who sadly died. after some time, I decided to get her another as a surprise so started looking at them on line. I got her one which she and her family were pleased with. However, seeing all the pictures and him made me think about getting one for myself. We had one years ago when my adult children were kids, and many other animals but had no pets currently. I've been off work for a while with depression and thought it would be good for me, giving me a purpose and someone to talk to even when I was not feeling social. I tricked hubby a bit, suggesting we get a pet, a donkey then worked down to smaller and smaller animals until he agreed to a budgie!
Two weeks after my daughter, I also have a little baby bird, who I asked hubby to name. He choose Aussie as we remembered the wild budgies we'd seen in Australia. I'm going to try and add a photo. The aviary thought he was almost certainly a boy, and he was 6 weeks so is 8 weeks old now. He's lovely and we are getting to know one another.I think he's testing me out!
