My New Avairy:
I have in the last month aquired a larger avairy.My budgies are LOVING the extra space. It was only $150 and I have since added a shelf and I am working on a small playgym and other exciting toys and perches.
I have a ginat swing in there that I got of my other budgie forum for Secret Santa and every time I go there at least one of my budgies is on it. The most I have seen is 4
It needs some loose wire and other things and bolts fixed but the budgies love it!

Charlie and Squeak:
Squeak is my baby. I love him so much and he comes up to the cage for kisses. He has had a 'realtionship' with Charlie for a while now. Charlie has a pink cere with a couple blue bits on it, so I assumed my two boys were...well close. Soooo They fed each other and all:o but I never put them in the breeding cage cause... They were two guys. So it shocks me when I go down there and Charlie's cere is Chocolate brown. Only turned this spring. They would both be about 3 now. So next Breeding season I am breeding them!
(Charlie is the white one)

Squeak is my baby. He was my first one and he just outshines the rest.He is the only tame one and loves kisses.. I never knew a relationship with an animal could be that close

Archie and Crumble:
Well that was a surprise. I never would have thought they would. Crumble has been depressed evr since her previous mate flew away. So I went to breed them. But unsccessful. I saw them mating. Either Archie isn't fertile yet because he is to young or Crumble is to old.

Phantom:
Well he is going well and being a little rat like normal. He is trying to strike a relationship up with Ozzie. He is very silly to get pictures of so this is the best I got

Medusa:
She is her normally grouchy self. Living up to her name. She is my first cinnamon... I am *Hoping* To breed her with Phantom. She is supposedly a Cinnamon GoldenFace Green (I think).
