I have stuff belonging to the birdies that I no longer have use for. The large triangle swing The cargo net The 6 step swing.......These were all made by Darran at Natural Bird Co. If any members would like any of these I would be happy to give them away, all I ask is you pay the P&P charges. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/rK2VKkKQ/Screenshot-20240603-082751-Gallery.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/3kK3FFjG/Screenshot-20240603-082927-Gallery.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/SJLy9v9q/Screenshot-20240603-083117-Gallery.jpg)

It's very kind of you jellybeanI am sure the boys would love for some other budgies to make good use of their things.

My Sister's Grandson took the Hamberley cage, swings, and all of Ben's toys for his little budgie, Buddy.
I'm glad they've gone to a good home.

I agree Hezz. I'll admit that it choked me up a bit to read this message and I didn't know what to say in reply.

Thank you both ❤
It took me until Monday of this week to tackle the job of stripping the cage. It sat, untouched, from the morning I took Ben to the vet.
These little guys gave me 13 years of love and laughter, and memories I will treasure for the rest of my life.

It is being mulled over, but last year my OH had a new knee, and now needs a new hip, he's in so much pain and is struggling to walk, and unless he gets a cancellation, the waiting times will take him into early next year before he's even seen. Thank you for the kind words skysmum ❤

Thank you for the kind words skysmum ❤ Ohhh that's hard JB ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) , it's awful how long people are having to wait. My friends OH has just had his second hip done, he's had both done in three months but he had private health care through his work so was very lucky. Its made a new man of him, my friend cant keep up with him now ![;-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/squint.png) Maybe a cruise would be nice, once your on board its just relax and enjoy, doctors on board if needed too.

A cruise has never appealed to either of us skysmum. We were always very active, when we both retired we did a lot of walking. We would look on the Walk Highlands website, find somewhere nice and off we'd go. My Niece had two Border Collies who used to go nuts when we went to collect them as they knew they were going for long walks with us, and they loved it. My ideal holiday would be the Scottish Islands, which I've yet to explore, Lewis, Harris, Skye, etc, but, sadly I don't think we'll be going there. However, a nice log cabin, or a caravan, near a quiet beach with hills/mountains and I'd be a happy bunny.

It's not for everyone for sure, ive done three but it was more to take my old mum away and know we were safe'ish. It's very hard when you've been so active, we are finding we can't walk the miles we used to. We LOVE Scotland, we did Skye but would like to do the other islands at some point. We stayed on a little campsite in arisaig for a couple of days on route and it was heaven, the beach was to die for and you could have been anywhere in the world, so peaceful. I hope you can get a little break somewhere anyway ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

We can offer you hills and mountains, a quiet beach nearby, and the house does have a wood burner if you were feeling at all homesick. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That sounds right up my street Hezz, and I thank you for the kind offer, but, I doubt if OH or I would survive the 25 hours plane journey, or the worry of meeting some of your local wildlife 🕷🪱 😂😂 The location of your new house sounds idyllic, I'm so jealous 😂
