Was just reminiscing.

I was thinking, if I’d lived where I do now, when I had Bailey, I’d probably been ok health wise. This flat is over double the size. I would not have been sat next to the cage half the time. then I went back to the posts about when I was first talking about my allergy and re-homing him. Brought tears to my eyes. He would have been the best company this past lockdown/restriction year.

Bailey was 8 last week. He went to skysmum 5 years ago! Where has that time gone.

Non pet/budgie people don’t get it how you can miss them.

It's such a long time ago now, but I am sure you still miss him. Thankfully you get regular updates from skysmum

suesbird has said EXACTLY what I was going to say ffiscool!!!

Don’t think it hasn’t crossed my mind lol. But there’s no one that near to have it if I’m away etc. None of my friends or family would.

I’m now working again for a year, part time. I’ll see how that goes and also restrictions. If things go back to near normality, then I won’t be home that much. It was more of how nice it would have been, more than going forward that, I was musing about.

I'd never have guessed it was 5 years ago ffiscool, time passes so quickly.

I think it will be 6 years since we have had a holiday, I wouldn't leave mine with anyone either, but I would dearly love to get away somewhere for a break.

So I get where you are coming from about getting another bird.
