I tragically lost my beloved Polly late last year and I still shed tears because of the way it happened and because I loved him so much. I have been searching for another pet budgie for a while but either couldn't find the right one or I wasn't ready yet. I actually resigned myself to the fact that I might not ever be ready again because what I really wanted was Polly back, not another budgie. It would be hard to get another one like him afterall, and it takes time, effort and a passion from the heart to get them to love you. Well today I went to the pet shop to get some rabbit accessories and I walked past some young budgies. They were all the same colour and very cute. I watched them play for a while and I became focused on a little male ( I hope, I have been wrong before ) that was playing with a rope, while all the other ones seemed to be in couples snuggling up to each other. I thought $27 was a reasonable price so "Cheeky" ended up coming home with me. This was only a few hours ago. When I got him home I cleaned out Pollys old cage again ( I allready cleaned it thoroughly a while back ) and let him settle. I kept talking to him continuously and kept trying to gently pat him on the cheek. He seemed to be getting tired around 6 o'clock, so I put a cover over his cage. To my suprise ( and delight ) he started to call out to me, and when I took the cover off and went to pat him he stuck his neck out because he wanted to be patted. Now he loves pats on his first day, within a few hours of bringing him home! Maybe I'm just extremely lucky but I think what I'm doing is obviously working and other new budgie owners might want to follow. We are allready bonding and he has come along way in just a few hours, I really can't believe it! Sorry, no photos today but I'll try and post one here in the next couple of days. I'm really happy and excited to have a budgie again ( for a while I thought it would never happen ) and while I know he is not Polly, I'm confident we will have a happy future together.
