These five budgies have joined our son’s family. They’ve become great companions for our grandchildren, and seem to be receptive to the training they are getting. Their keep doesn’t cost near as much as a dog or cat, and you don’t have to take birds for a walk. Look how nicely they perched for this photo taken by our daughter-in-law. Their names are Tim, Dandelion, Blue, Sky, and Tango. I’m looking forward to meeting them on our next visit.
How pretty they are! I can’r believe that they posed so nicely!

I’m glad they have each other for company. Do they stay in a big cage most of the time? I would worry they’d fly out the door or window–

They do have a big cage that they are in a good part of the time, and the kids are only able to use the garage door to go in and out.

Are the names in order picture-wise? I really hope so, because that means the one named Blue isn’t one of the blue ones and that’s adorable. Also who named theirs Tim? I love pets with ordinary human names.

I’m not sure if they’re sitting in order of their names. I haven’t met these cuties yet, but we’ll be going to visit this weekend.

Budgies are native to Australia so you’ve got a bit of Aussie influence there!

There’s large flocks of them there that are wild. I’d like to see them for myself. I think they’re usually green and yellow, similar to the middle one in your line-up with green chest and yellow face. Very cute!

Those names are so cute! How is your son and his family caring for the birds? Where do they stay? I hear that pet birds can create a little bit of trouble, as they need opportunity to stretch their wings and, in the habit of birds, will drop white presents as they whip through the house.

I’m not sure of their care details yet, but hope to learn more on our visit this weekend. I have heard, though, that they leave”the little white presents” sometimes.

Now I’m all nostalgic for my childhood pet parakeet — I called him Mergatroid! 🙂 My favorite (surprisingly) is the gray sitting at the end of the row. Very distinguished looking.

We’re visiting our son and his family this weekend, and got to meet the birds. The gray one is named Blue. They have been so fun to watch, especially when they have little nodding conversations with themselves in front of a mirror. Sky (the darker blue one) seems to be quite taken with his reflection.

I don’t know if Canadians feel as much like the empire as we do, but I always feel that Canada and Australia are like brothers. Bur Budgies are are Australian as you can get. So yay! Wow! . Go the budgies.

I use own Budgies a very long time ago. I love birds. I had gotten my Amazon Yellow Nape parrot a little over 30 years ago, and he is my son as far as I’m concerned. We love one another very much.
