I still feel the loss of jim but i will do my best to train this new budgie and bond with him which will be no problem. He is a nice shade of grey with a whiteish head,the marking on his wngs are very light grey-brown. His name of course is JIM the second. Link to comment

Guest Phoebe Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) How nice for your wife to do that, Jimie is beautiful! Sure they will be anxious and climb about the first little while getting aquainted with their new home. Have always found my females to be more acrobatic than the males.

Males are more vocal then females so I think that is the reasoning behind it. Link to comment

She sounds like a character would love to see more pics Link to comment

Jim1 hated the bath!!! I will get some more pics done soon Link to comment
