So, we've been without a house budgie for too long. Fred was a weak baby & died on the weekend. Froggy's splay couldn't be corrected so she was going to be in the house but died yesterday. We were all very upset by these developments so I looked for a new baby today, Charlie's little (BIG!) girl is too independent already for one who only fledged last week. The only option was Fred's younger brother (looks 95% same as Fred). We will trial him inside for a few weeks to see how he copes. I put him in the house budgie cage this afternoon, he sits on the finger, doesn't freak when you put your hand in the cage & he doesn't bite. That could, of course, change when he is a bit more sure of himself so we'll have to wait for that too. We had him inside with the family for an hour. We will slowly increase his time with us before letting him out for a fly. Here are some photo's I took of him tonight, I hope you enjoy them!

I put her outside, she is with Big Gray. She was changing and really 'seemed to want to mate' everytime she was outside she tried to squeeze between the bars to get to them. She got quite frantic at times. She is very happy with Big Gray. Doesn't give to hoots about any of us after 5 minutes with him!
