Pictures of my budgies when they first came home

Here are Monty and Eric from back in November 2009. Monty darted out of his carry box as soon as we placed it in the cage but Eric held back for a while.

Roswell has always been a bit of a looker as you can see.  Here he is from back in January when my husband brought him and Snowy home.

Even thought we got them at the same time from the same breeder they did not get on at first, thankfully they do now – most of the time.

Jerry was rocking back and forth in his cardboard carry box when I first put it down on the sofa as I opened the cage doors.

He sprung out of the box when I placed it in the cage and went straight to the mirror and started singing and bashing away at it.

It was obvious from the start that he was a bit of a live-wire!

In the pet shop that we got Jerry from he was housed with a pair of budgies (male/female couple) and they were picking on him and obviously didn’t want him around.  I really had my heart set on a green budgie so it was quite lucky for me and him. Also very lucky for Roswell to have a new playmate!

I have never seen one of these shiny things before but I like it. My new abode will do.

It’s such a flipping hot and sunny day today that I decided to go back to the old days and dig out the Polaroid camera, it took me 3 hours to wind it up and get enough charge so I hope you appreciate the photos.

When will they invent digital so I don’t have to do this anymore? – I can only dream.

 

Monty – he did not eat all the pies and will beak anyone that says otherwise.

 Roswell loves his Broccoli, but when will Jerry get a turn?

Ha! says Snowy, it’s all mine!

Look at this very naughty Jerry, flying to the mirror and biting it.  We have had to cover it with a tea-towel to (hopefully) stop him doing this.

As you can see, the previous attempts to stop him failed, he just casually flew over and grabbed the post-it notes off and threw them onto the floor, clever little vandal!

If he thinks he can get away with being bad because he is such a pretty and colourful budgie then he has another thing coming, but he is beautiful.. 🙂

I know he’s just your plain common or garden wild looking budgie but I love his colouring.
