A blog about my beautiful budgies.
Thomas came into our home on this day, 8 years ago. He was very handsome & photos never really did him justice.
He was possibly my best vegetable eater so he was also a very good boy! I would like to revisit one of my favourite videos of him eating broccoli:
Always in our thoughts.

On this day, 5 years ago, Dalai came into our home. He was a marvellous member of the flock, very clear with setting his boundaries yet getting along with all the diverse characters.
He also loved a bath:
Always in our thoughts & still missed.

It was four years ago on this day that I brought home these two beautiful, blue birds.
Happy adoption-day, Perry & Lennie!
We love you lots!

The incomparable Phineas came into our home on this day, 8 years ago.
Here is a video of him telling everyone something important. If you are wondering, it is oral antibiotics on his cheek feathers (clearly I was not administering efficiently!)
Missing you, my little man.
Always in our thoughts.

On this day in 2008, dear Raspy hatched. I met her less than 8 weeks later with her sister Atilla. The two young sisters had a big impact on my life.
Here is a video of Raspy on the playgym:
Always in our thoughts.

On this day 10 years ago, beautiful Bezukhov hatched. I did not meet him & his best buddy Cagney, until 3 months later. How lucky was I?
Here is a video of him enjoying some millet:
Thinking of you, my beautiful boy.
We love you.

Thomas came into our home on this day, 7 years ago. He was a beautiful, intelligent boy & quickly developed friendships with three very different characters: Cagney, Bezukhov & Phinny.
Here is a video of him taken during quarantine when he was clearly having a very important conversation with himself.
Always in our thoughts.

Dalai came into our home on the 14th March 2016. He was, we believe, around 5 months old at the time, putting his birthday (or hatchday) at sometime in October 2015. I never dreamt that he would not be here for the 2020 celebration of his special day. Despite the sadness, I will take this opportunity to share some photos…
During quarantine, Dalai was self-assured & calm:
He made good friends with Bezukhov & Phineas:
Dalai was not always swayed by flock mentality & if he wanted to do something or be somewhere different to the others, he would go ahead & do it. This photo shows him, in the early days, not returning to the cage for bed & Bezukhov & Phineas coming out to join him:

He had more in common with Lennie that I think he would care to admit:
Dalai was not overly giving to others (flirting aside) though was witnessed caring about Bezukhov when he was poorly:

Despite the above, Dalai would openly preen Perry’s head & was doing this even in his last days when he was unwell:
Dalai was a big presence… much admired & much loved.

Missing you very much, Dalai darling.
Thinking of you.
