They are just gorgeous. You make me want more! Do they all have favourite perches or is it a free for all?

Adorable. Totally love it.
I might steal ideas from your setup for mine...though it wouldn't be the same..but I like the idea of hanging swings and perches from the curtain rod.. ! 🥰

Marianne Marlow, I was just wondering how active your buds are after sundown? As soon as the natural light fades, my two never come out and don't do much until bedtime, in fact they don't even eat until the next day!

My two are like yours stevex - they insist that its bedtime and that I cover them. Marianne Marlow who is that on the colorful beaded swings - looks about to fall off into sleep! They are all so cute! |

It's a bit of a free for all. Some budgies never seem to use the swings - Sky never did. But all of the budgies I have now do. They are just gorgeous. You make me want more! Do they all have favourite perches or is it a free for all? Yes it's been the most well loved things that the budgies use. They love it. Also the soap dishes on the windows are a good one too. Adorable. Totally love it. I might steal ideas from your setup for mine...though it wouldn't be the same..but I like the idea of hanging swings and perches from the curtain rod.. ! 🥰 They are pretty active after dark, I don't usually get to start putting them to bed until 9pm due to other commitments and the fact we wouldn't even be able to watch something in the living room if we did. They do hang out and rest for a while but when I start cleaning cages and changing water/food, they fly about and get all active again for a while. But they settle down pretty quickly when they are covered - the little ones (4 newest additions ) can sometimes need to be "told off" a few times though as they jump into eachother, so I have to make sure only one is on each perch.

As soon as the natural light fades, my two never come out and don't do much until bedtime, in fact they don't even eat until the next day! That is Iris, she was standing on one leg and having a rest  Daisy (yellow one) is eyeing me as usual to make sure I know my place.

She is one determined little girl Marianne 😂
I don't envy you your clear up operation at night with all your birdies, I'm bad enough with two, or should I say ONE, Sam is the messiest bird I have ever had 😂

Aww, look at them! Such a colourful flock, Marianne. They're beautiful. It's nice to see them all gathered together.

They are all very sweet.  Marianne Marlow, could you run through the boys for me, please, from that top photo? I had the girls sussed but I think I have one or two of the boys confused. |

Colin is on the big swing. Then it's Billy and George side by side. At the bottom it's Blithe and Bertie side by side. They are all very sweet.
