Hi, my name is Annette, i used to post now and then on the old forum and have been having a look around the new one, very nice. I have had a budgie in my life since i was about 7 when my dad brought one home from work in a box tucked into his coat on his motorbike, that was 48 years ago. and I've kept one ever since. About 15 years ago i decided to get a boy friend for my girl sky, he was called George and after a couple of years i attached a nest box to the cage and bingo i had two new additions to the family Jo Jo and Ginnie. I was hooked. A couple of years later George and Sky had three more, Teddy, Freddy (a girl) and Fern. So 7 in a very large cage indoors. I wanted them to have more room so i designed and had built a 6ft by 8ft aviary for the garden and have loved every min of it. Sadly sky and George have since died, sky at the ripe of age of almost 13 and Ginnie had a tumor and had to be put to sleep, so i now have four. It never fails to thrill me when i see them flying around and making mischief, i love them.

Welcome, Skysmum. Lovely to use your past budgie's name as your user name. I gather the four birds are still in the aviary? Would love to see some photos of your birds and their aviary.

Good morning and thanks for the welcome, yes Hezz they are still in the aviary. strange how they seem to love being in the outside flight more in the winter than in the summer, they love the snow and the rain. I will try and put some pics on but im a bit useless at that sort of thing, will get other half to help me one evening. Have a good day all.
