Hello, I'm new to the forum and thought I would introduce myself and my little budgie Petrusha. We got Petrusha in March this year when he was about 6 weeks old. As an albino we went by the shop sexing which was male and named him Petrusha, the diminutive of Pyotr which is the Russian name for Peter (my partner is Russian and used to have budgie that could say Petrusha charoshi (Petrusha is a good boy) so we thought that he could learn this. So so far so good. Then a few months ago him cere started to turn brown from the original bluey pink and only yesterday turned white, so I think we can categorically say Petrusha is a Girl! We wont be renaming her as to an English ear Petrusha sounds feminine, but it has taken a while to stop saying he and to use she instead!
A few days after getting her (I've built a tower out of K'nex for her, about 6ft tall, she loves it!)
She likes to be scratched behind and around her head
She has discovered that she can climb through Venitian blinds, and likes to watch people outside.
The other day I was taking a shower and she was playing on her tower in the living room, she missed me and flew all the way to the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bath while I showered. She slowly walked along the bath getting closer and closer to the water and sat there with her feathers all ruffled up as water splashed off me and onto her. She loves to take a bath, even though she looks awful afterwards! lol
