I guessed that Munchy must have been around 5 weeks old when he joined my family last Christmas Eve, judging by when he started his first moult, so I worked out his birthday to be around about today or tomorrow. Alas, I won't know for sure that he's a year old until Christmas Eve, but I thought I'd mark the occasion anyway. ;D Sadly for him he doesn't have any new toys, although he did get some new weebles not too long ago and I've got him baffled today by having his play stands all in different places to usual.  He has got presents for Christmas, though, so that's not too far in the future.  Happy approximate 1st birthday, Munchkin!  I hope to celebrate many more with you!  |

I'm not sure once they get past around 8 -12 months, annieones. Munchy was only a baby when I got him, he had his first moult during March (which occurs at around 3 - 4 months of age) and they're usually weaned at around 5 weeks as far as I'm aware, so five weeks was about the minimum age he could be, so I based it on that. Once a budgie has had its first moult, however, I have no idea how to tell how old they are, sorry.

Millet!? As a treat!?  Never! I am too cruel a task master... er... mistress... XD Yes, I shall let him have some tomorrow morning before I get cracking on my essay, and then he can have some more to celebrate the completion of said essay XD I shall have to sing to him XD And then he can cover up his little ears with his wings and ask me to politely be quiet, or he'll just whistle really loudly. Mwahaahahahhahahahahahahahaha! Ahem... Sorry, being a bit crazy tonight >< |

Munchy says thank you for all his happy birthday wishes! Sorry that I couldn't post up any pics yesterday, Mick! I told a few and some videos in the morning and then was out until 5 and had to finish up my essay. One thing I've loved and joked about in the past year is Munchy's vanity. When he first learned to talk he would say "Pretty boy" and then around his first moult he would say "Pretty pretty boy" and the other day I heard him say "Pretty pretty pretty boy" He is getting increasingly more adoring of himself XD Okay, so i'm fiddling around with the videos, so I'll put up some pictures first. There's only one from yesterday, but these are some of the best photos I've managed to take of him. And thank you, Stace That picture makes me want to ruffle his little cheeks! I can't believe I brought that little bird home almost a year ago.   First image: Munchy at 5 weeks, Second image: Munchy at ~1 year. I can't believe how much he's grown!  The door handle where Munchy once fell asleep. He's looking at himself, as usual.  He will honestly do anything to see himself! XD And last, here's possibly my currently favourite picture ever!  I love his expression! He looks like he's taking a nap up there! Haven't seen him up on the window handle for a while, but he does look cute when he's there. I came home from uni yesterday and he'd gone to bed but a little while before I got home he'd had one of his little panics where he flies around the cage. Like a night terror. He was clinging to the front of the cage and the light was off but the kitchen light was on as we were getting ready for dinner, so I gradually uncovered him so that he's eyes adjusted to the light, spoke softly to him for a while, and eventually convinced him to jump onto my hand and I popped him onto his swing where he fell asleep for the rest of the night. Not a nice way for the little guy to end his first birthday, but he was completely calm when I left him and was as right as rain today. I'll see if I can sort out my terrible videos to post up XD |

He has got presents for Christmas, though, so that's not too far in the future.
