The links in the photo were together and hanging from a single bar.
I came back later and they were like this.
George, Peter and Rocky are saying nothing.

Meet Rocky
This is Rocky. He’s been here since Thursday evening. He was advertised on pets4homes as the family had a cat that was starting to attack his cage. So wheels were quickly put into motion.
He’s around 2 years old.
We didn’t really have room, but somehow we have squeezed him in.
Dinku, Ayla and Daisy
Dinku has two girlfriends!
Ayla and Daisy the hens do not seem to mind. I am pretty sure that both the hens feed Dinku, which is kind of odd.
But they all seem happy 🙂

We didn’t do it
These little budgies look suspicious to me. But they say that they do not know who tore up the newspaper.
Do we believe them?
Barney is settling in well
Barney is such a sweet little boy but has not made one special friend yet. I have seen him feed Dinku and play with Max though so it’s only a matter of time.
He also came over to the table when I was changing the seed in the evening. Admittedly it was to see Max, but he was still very brave and trusting to come that close to me.
He has so far spent time in every one of the four cages at night time!
Last night he stayed in with Chipper, Daisy and Billy. There were a few squiggles as Daisy is not a good night time cage mate, hence why she cannot share with Iris any more, the squiggling drives me mad.

A new and unexpected inmate… Ayla
On Saturday a friend sent me a message via whatsapp of a little budgie on Freecycle.
After a few messages back and forth with her owners, who really seemed to care for her, it was established that her partner died and they wanted her to live with someone that already had a few budgies.
They’d had a lot of interest already, but not from someone with birds.
I went and picked her up on Tuesday, it was a 25 minute bus ride and a 5 minute walk. My face was really hot and red when I got there as I have had a migraine for a week and it was a warm day. Plus I get stressed traveling alone as I have massive anxiety but couldn’t find anyone to come with me.
I found it easily thanks to the very detailed instructions Paul made me!
Ayla was tiny, but amazingly she hopped on my hand and I was able to pluck her out of the cage without too much trouble.
Bus ride home and this was her in her box.

Dinku and Daisy want to know how to celebrate Love all Budgies Day?
The budgies wanted me to make a special post for them, seeing as it is their day today.
The budgies share this day with our lovely friend Rose that passed away last year. Today (1st July) would have been her birthday. You can read about Rose, her budgies Ian and Marshall which she called “da boyz” and “the sausages” here: https://loveallbudgiesday.wordpress.com
Dinku and Daisy would like to know how you are going to commemorate “Love all budgies day”?
Will you create a collage, take photos, make drawings, paintings, a handbag, snazzy cup or t-shirt with your favourite budgie image on it?
Whatever you do, please share it on social media Twitter/Facebook/instagram/youtube/ anywhere including putting up posers if that is your thing. Make sure you use the hashtag #loveallbudgiesday so that people can find your work.
If you don’t have time today then Rose wouldn’t have minded if you were a day late and shared it tomorrow!
Love All Budgies Day coming up on the 1st of July!
Please take part in #LoveAllBudgiesDay on 1st July 2023. In honour of our friend Rose Youd that passed away last year.
Here is a head’s up of a new day to celebrate budgies! Love All Budgies Day was created in honour of blog follower ‘rosebudgie’ who sadly passed away last August (read my ‘In Memoriam’ post for her here).

Love All Budgies Day – 1st July
The “In Rose’s Words” page on the Love All Budgies Day website gives some insight into Rose’s love for budgies. She was firmly of the belief that budgies should be ruling the world, saying “I reckon that it’s the world’s only chance of survival!” And that, “The earth would be covered with grass and millet…

A Brave Chipper (with the help of Max)
Yesterday, Chipper kept going to the kitchen, trying to land on the basil plants.
I decided to see if he would land on me to get some basil.
Eventually, with Max’s help, he did
May 2023 update – Lots of budgie photos!
A lovely selection of recent photos of the gang. Also to add that yesterday morning I took the cover off of Penny’s cage and could not see her at the back on her usual bedtime perch. I looked all around the cage, including the floor – fearing the worst. My heart leapt. Then I looked up and there she was, at the front staring at me!!
This is Penny below! Little minx tried to give me a heart attack 🙂
