Oh he is very handsome and doesn't look very shy either.

Tell us where you got him and his story :)

Thanks Lovey,

I was so over come by being back on the boards forgot to add the part of where I got him from (Laughing out loud)..

 

I saw an ad on one of the free ads on the web.. and noticed the postcode was the same as mine.. turns out this man down the road ( forgot to ask his name) has been breeding budgies, now he wants to concentrate on his canaries, so was selling his stock..

That isn't what the ad said though.. so although he had some lovely birds they were too used to the avairy life..

He offered to ask around to find me a younger bird.. he rang on Friday to say he had 5 I could choose from.. I feel for Bert right away.. he wasn't the youngest or the eldest some where in the middle (Laughing out loud)

 

He is very placid.. took to the cage fine, was playing with the toys weaving himself in and out of the hoops, sat on the swing and even went into the birdbath.. he will eat millet and lettuce from our hands... and will let us stroke him with the food.. he will move away from our fingers but he is more approachable than Buddie..

 

He came to the door way of his cage had a peek out then turned round and went back in...

 

So I think he will settle in just fine :)

Thanks Karen for passing on my message :)

 

Thank you on all your comments on Bert... he is doing great :)

 

He took a bit of time to realise he could come out of the cage, now he does happily and puts himself back.

I had a budgie called bert when i was a kid. He came to us by accident one day, presented to us at the back door by our loving and genteel ***** cat. We had him for another 13 years after that. we don't know how old he was when we got him... he was fully grown, and didn't have any forehead lines... but we figured if he could survive such a dramatic arrival at our back door, he could survive anything and would probably be one of those pets that lives forever!! Incidentally, we still have that cat, but she's rather elderly now (20yrs old) and rather less mobile than she was back then!
