Ive said that after more than 50 years of keeping Budgies i have stitched my pockets closed now, no more, but i could un-stitch them for him any day Thank you skysmum. He is very handsome. He carries a sort of gravitas about him, like a wise old owl. 😆 He’s been sending tons of chirps downstairs for Louie and Luca to answer. Jasper is taking it all in also, wondering how she used to talk to the sparrows and now she’s hearing budginese in her home! 🤣 We like to make words up here...puginese, pugonavirus (yes, we have a mad rescue pug who makes noises like chimpanzees, like Mogwai from Gremlins and snuffles about like a piglet. She’s a real character!).

ariella what beautiful boys and I love the names you've given them! They sound so tame already - that's amazing!

Thank you karen101. Still got a way to go but they’re all pretty used to me and my hand so I’m just trying to build on that. They’re all so lovely and I love watching their characters show.

ariella How are all you new little buds getting on? Are you nearly done with quarantine? I'm looking forward to hearing how the introductions all go. Sorry if I have missed an update thread somewhere!

ariella How are all you new little buds getting on? Are you nearly done with quarantine? I'm looking forward to hearing how the introductions all go. Sorry if I have missed an update thread somewhere! I was planning to do one today after a weekend of introductions so will get onto it this afternoon. Thanks for enquiring. Yes, quarantine ended last week and they are getting on wonderfully! Phew… Jasper likes to remain in her cage when they’re all out but that’s fair enough - I’m not sure I’d want to be surrounded by five males either! She has plenty to say to them though and when I walk in the room she whistles to me to go over and talk to her first. The boys are all in the Hamberley together and so far, so good; only minor squabbles and then they happily sit and preen and give each other kisses. So far, Otis and Ivo seem to remain bonded and I’m watching interactions between the others, especially in the cage, but there’s been no concern at all. Otis and Louie are the stronger characters but don’t seem to be facing off too much. I made sure that the cage was changed about and lots of new perches and toys added so that Louie and Luca found it new and plenty to explore too, as they’ve been in it through the quarantine period. They haven’t been territorial so I’m happy that seems to have worked. They’ve started to explore other levels of the cage. I’ll pop a photo on for critique as any constructive criticism and advice is always welcome. I’ve put most of the perches and platforms nearer the top so they have a good variety of places to perch and there’s a full-length perch further down, which I saw all five sit on together, but didn’t get chance to get a photo. Typical! They haven’t really been down on the floor much despite some toys down there, but it’s still early days. Overall, it’s been more straightforward than I thought and I am finding it hard to tear myself away from watching them to get on with other things as they’re all so entertaining. Photos coming up later…
