Chipper left, Billy right. They look so similar in this photo. But if Billy lifts his wings, he has blue patches under them and Chippers back is yellow whereas Billy's is dark green. Chipper also has white flecks in his cheek patches and they are a slightly different shade of green. But I always have to look twice to confirm who is who. Totally different personalities though!

They really are so alike from the front. I was only talking about how all our budgies on the forum have such personalities and how much I enjoy seeing personalities come through in our own animals. People who aren’t animal lovers just don’t understand or even believe that pets can have such varying personalities. One of the most disparaging remarks I’ve had was a person asking my husband if he ‘got’ my love for rehoming tortoises and then being asked what I’ll do when I get fed up of my ‘hobby’. I politely responded that it wasn’t a hobby but a passion and an important part of my life and that when I’m unable to care for them - which I hope to be able to do until I’m physically unable to or am no longer here - that my daughter will ensure they stay within the family and will take care of ensuring all grandchildren will take them through to the next generation. I fully expect them to outlive me and possibly my children too, so I have ensured they will always receive proper care and love for the duration of their long lives. My kids know I’ll haunt them otherwise! How lovely you saw Peter and George together again today Marianne Marlow. Have they always got on well? I understand George probably has his crotchety moments since his stroke and due to being older, but were they good friends before that too?

ariella I try and explain that they aren't a hobby, but people don't get it at all. If someone has a cat or a dog, they're not a hobby, no one even thinks that. Chipper is boisterous and cheeky, Billy is much more calm and also very protective of Iris. No, Peter and George weren't friends before, this is just something that happened in the last few days.

It's a hen thing, I reckon. Squeak can occasionally be found in a inverted posture.

I know, it’s so annoying isn’t it?! People laugh when I say my pets are part of the family. I know I’d rather spend time with my animals than most people I come across! it’s so sweet that Peter and George have recently made this new bond. I hope it continues as it must be nice for George now he’s not so involved with the flock. Chipper is a lovely young bud and I enjoy watching them when they’re young and cheeky! Does Billy still flirt with the other ladies when Iris isn’t looking? Jasper loves hanging upside down also but then so does Henry. Never a dull moment!

That's a lovely photo of Peter and George.
I didn't recognise Chipper in the photo with Billy. His adult feathers look a lot darker. They do look very similar now.
