Hello!

My name is Crissy. I'm married, live near Chicago Illinois and am owned by three rescued Shelties and two Budgies.

One Budgie is a standard (American pet shop) yellow and light green female that I was given by a friend whose children lost interest. The birds name is Berta and she is young (under a year) and quite wild and if you ask me, mean.

The other is an English Budgie male, purchased a week ago at a local Bird Fair from a breeder (not its breeder). His name is Bentley and he is about 2 years old - his band states the year 2011 - and he has some violet coloring. He was hand fed, hand friendly and just gorgeous if you ask me.

Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted an English Budgie, except at the time I didn't realize they were any different from a pet shop parakeet; I just knew I loved the look of the one illustration inside my little Parakeet book.

At this time, I'd like to search your site for information about the breed standard, Chicago groups, feeding and behavior.

Thank you! Crissy

I'm assuming that's a lovely picture of Bentley in your avatar?

Welcome Crissy - nice to meet you.

Chicago - The windy city? It feels like that here at the moment on what is often the sunny south of England... presently it's far from sunny.

Your budgies sound and interesting pair. Do they share a home or have their own separate appartments?

Perhaps you might let us see Berta sometime - I'm not sure I'd know the difference between an English budgie and a "standard American bird" although I have heard they are quite different.

Pleased to have you join us.

(The world owes you a living but you have to work hard to collect it)
