Re: baby budgie food
Posted by Maddie on 9/26/07

Thanks Karen and Aunt Bea, you guys are
lovely. Well actually I'm 13 and I got my first
budgie on my 10th birthday (or birdday). His
name was Bruce and it wasn't a good start
to my parrot-keeping life because he must
have had some type of brain damage because
he was always going crazy and trying to
wedge himself into places. I kept him in a
cage for about 7 months because he was too
old to train and let him fly around. Then my
grandpa (who was also a birdkeeper) came
down a build an avairy just for me in my
backyard. I put a few more birds in there
that day, including some quail. Then the next
morning I was all happy about my new
avairy so I ran outside only to find my
beloved budgie Bruce dead on the floor. He
had wedged his head into the seed box and
he must have had his airway cut off. But
since then I've had quite a few myterious
deaths of my birds but now I'm going great
and none of them have died in ages. And
two of my budgies, Shrek and Jan, have had
two babies, which are both grey. Now as
soon as I see them eating by themselves I
will take one out, train it (that is why I ever
wanted a budgie in the first place, to hand
tame, because I had never had any friends
up to that point) and then train the other
one. Hopefully I will be able to teach them
all sorts of tricks and have them be happy
to be near me, not scared and fly away. I
guess I was far too impatient when training
my birds and as soon as they did something
only once I would have moved on to the
next step. But the only baby budgie I ever
had was meant to be a bpy but ended up
being a girl, so I couldn't train that either.
But now I have my fingers crossed that at
least one baby will be a boy, but if they're
both girls I will try my best. Thanks for your
support everyone!

Maddie
