I feel very guilty not having him myself. But we have Buddy who is very tame and very attached to me. Also talking quite a bit now. I do think my friends bud would be better with other buds , I doubt he can be tamed after the way he has been handled, but who knows. He just needs a kind loving home .

I could probably offer to do a relay section. I am not sure exactly when, as the next couple of weekends are busy but if its not an immediate need to move I'd be happy to help. Whereabouts in the northwest is the budgie? ladybird loz Marianne Marlow

Ok that's doable for me to get to as I'm in south Manchester. I'm away this weekend, but actually not a million miles away from there on Sunday evening, so there is a 'possibility' I could collect it then, house for a little bit, and then move it on southwards at a later date? We'd need to have a plan for the next stage of the budgie relay though...
I've not asked my husband about any of this. He might go mad 🤣

Sounds promising…….. I would also need to know asap. I mentioned to the breeder who I got Buddy from and he is going to ask around too. My friend would need to know not to have let him out , I don’t think anyone would have to start chasing him ………I think he would be better left in cage for travelling? Although the vision cages are quite heavy . I believe he says his name, it’s Barney.. I would love him to go to one of our members 👏

Lord knows how he'd make it all the way to me. I checked and it's about 219 miles!!

Ok well if your breeder knows a good home that's possibly not a bad plan either? Its whatever is best for Barney. I'd love another budgie (especially one called Barney 😂) but I couldn't keep it long term as I don't think it's fair to introduce a bird to Toby with his AGY, and like you say it sounds like he'd be happier in a flock.
So I think it's up to those forum members if they want to have another bird join their flocks.
I've checked with the husband and he's happy to house temporarily.

Worst case scenario I persuade my husband we should have a weekend in London or he has to own another budgie 😂 ladybird I'd say the bird would be fine to travel in a vision cage. I've never had any issues moving mine around like that.

Blue e , the breeder has only said he will try. I think it would be great if you could get him on Sunday night , I am sure between everyone a good home can be found for him. I am having eye surgery on Thursday so may not be able to be of much use for a couple of days. If you or anyone wants to contact me I will be happy to chat by phone…..
