I call it either a fizzy drink, or just by the brand name.

Every time I walk into the kitchen, I get a split second of utter panic because the kitchen window is wide open. I then focus my eyes and can see/remember the mesh I put up to prevent escape attempts.
Not good for my nerves!

I still get that, and I have wire mesh!! Every time I walk into the kitchen, I get a split second of utter panic because the kitchen window is wide open. I then focus my eyes and can see/remember the mesh I put up to prevent escape attempts. Not good for my nerves!

At one house we lived in, we occasionally heard the sound of a woman screaming at night. I learned that it was red foxes.

I thought they sounded like a baby crying. We get them outside the window a lot.

We set up one of our Blink cameras on the back porch, facing the yard. We saw a fox (not sure if it was always the same one) walking through often...maybe going to the restaurant on the street in front of ours.

Busy long weekend is now done. Younger Son married on Friday, a lovely little ceremony and a great day for everyone Operation carried out successfully yesterday in the morning and I was out the door around five pm. Hopefully this will sort the annoying issue of the iatrogenic oroantral fistula that has annoyed me for maybe ten years ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I am tempted to "adopt" a female Budgie from a breeder who is trying to reduce their flock. This person also breeds pheasants and hens; I get the impression that she does not want to breed Budgies anymore. She keeps them in a small aviary outside. I wonder, would it be difficult for an aviary Budgie to live in a bird room?

Good question. I guess it depends on the bird, how well they would adapt. Also if the windows are covered?
They would need lots of spaces to land on.

I deleted my previous comment about a breeder who is trying to get rid of her remaining "parakeets". I was actually tempted, again, to go look at them, but I don't know if we should do that right now...since we are trying to monitor Sprite closely.
As most of you probably know, a lot of people in the USA think a Budgie is called a "parakeet". Many "casual" owners and breeders will say it. Those who are more serious will use the term Budgie. Not everyone who says "Budgie" is a dedicated owner/competent breeder but, more often than not, they are.
