Hi. Hope your all doing as well as you can. What's happened to spring? Cold and wet here in N Wales.

Love this picture the bird in the middle reminds me of one I had from a child to teenager. He (I always thought of him as a he, but no idea really what sex he/it was). He had an amazing vocabulary.

Enjoy your day.

I had a green budgie when I was a child.....it was called Peter until the bit above its beak turned a brown colour and it laid an egg.....Peta was her name after that.

Male budgies have a blue bit above their beaks.

Mine never talked just chirped like the sparrows in the garden and peeled the wallpaper off the walls of our rented rooms .

Thanks for that- never knew. Had a funny flashback, did you ever see Michael Parkinson v Emu. Think it was very early on. Michael asked what sex Emu was. He was told "Why don't you lift the skirt and have a look". All hell broke loose. Don't think Michael ever got over it.

I love this picture. The green budgie looks just like the one we had as kids. I called him George (after George Harrison) and my sister taught him to recite the Georgie Porgie, pudding & pie nursery rhyme. He was a great talker and could go on for hours, getting louder and louder to compete with the TV.

Thanks for the memories :-)

Mine could do Georgie Porgie as well. Don't know if birds get dementia but ours used to get all the nursery rhymes mixed up..so funny.

`Love it. Love it. Had more responses over this picture than all the others. Perhaps we should form a sub-group of ex, or even existing Budgerigar fanciers.

Hi Tryfan

I have a budgie called George. He was rescued from Hampstead Heath while feeding on the tall grasses and taken to the local vet. A friend of mine who uses the vet, nominated me to take him in!! He is very beautiful. Sky blue with tufts of white like clouds and yellow for morning sunshine.

Love your idea! 😂

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised how much joy you can get from a bundle of feathers weighing no more than a couple of ounces. Thank you for all your replies. For people who have never had dealings with budgies I hope you get a taste of what characters they are. Joyful.
