Hi everyone
Butchie has recently lost his buddy Butchie2 after several years of constant chatter. They were the exact same colour hence the names. I'm not sure if Butchie is a boy or girl. Then again it could be Butchie2 for all I know :-)
I accidentally ended up a budgie owner when Butchie was left at my home from a roomer. I adopted a second budgie from the Humane Society because they both looked lonely and were both six years old. I bought a huge cage, hung it up in the kitchen window, and have enjoyed them for many years. Until one fell off the perch one night a few months ago :-(
Now what to do with an old budgie that is by itself as budgies are pack birds. My kitty passed away so I was hoping I could now let Butchie out of the cage to fly around. I'm worried about Butchie being depressed although he is in a high traffic area and I do make a point of talking to him.
So that's Butchie's story. He's safe, warm, well fed, and loved :-)
You may find that if its just you and her you will end up having a real close bond if you put in the effort - hen birds can be most endearing
