134. When shopping for a new house there's only one thing that matters; will the aviaries fit in the yard?

 

135. When you run out of microwave containers because they all somehow found themselves in the aviaries full of seed (boy did I get into trouble for this).

 

136. When emailing another budgie nut who's attached overseas you spend 5 paragraphs describing every minute detail of the past budgie month and finish the email with, "So, how are you doing".

 

137. When friends visit you announce that, "There will be an aviary tour departing in the next 15 minutes but places are limited so be quick".

 

138. When you can't sleep the night before a budgie auction because you're too damn excited!

 

139. When taking a sickie your boss signs off the approval form, "Caring for sick budgie.....again".

141, when an outing in the car means stopping at all the salvo's or st vinnies shops looking for wine racks for budgie perching in the aviary.

 

142. when bulk refuse throwout areas mean a new search for old cots for dowel sections for perching.

 

143. when money is short, you know exactly how to GROVEL to your partner to get new budgie money for an auction.

144. When your wife says, "I just did the grocery shopping yesterday, so who the *** ate all the vegetables?"

 

145. When you offer to organise a family holiday in the last week of May which magically just happens to be in the same location as the Nationals.

 

146. When, in an intimate moment, your wife asks, "What are you thinking about?" and you know it's certain death if you admit you were thinking about whether your best Opaline hen would go okay with your best Grey Green cock.

 

147. When you tell your wife, "Hey, remember that time when I told you about the Opaline Sky hen and the Grey Green cock, well they just hatched their first chick and..........ummmm......ohh.......never mind".

 

148. When you wonder if there's some way of using that Harvey Norman voucher you got for your birthday to buy more birds.

 

149. When you have to convince the pharmacist that "No, I'm not a druggie, I just need a small syringe to fit my crop needle to". (I really don't think they believed me).

151. When you promise to take 7 birds to the pet shop (to pay for guinea pigs, canaries and cat) but only manage to actually part with 4

 

152. But the very next day you happily acquire another 3 at the club auction

 

153. When preparing for said club auction and you have promised to take birds you spend the entire process muttering under your breath, "you're too good to go"! and are delighted when nobody wants to buy them

156. When you have a special song you made up to sing to the birds each morning, as a signal that you are about to uncover their cage.

177 when your birds know you better than anybody you know

 

178 when the only members of your family that get a gift other than the three children are ....of course your flock of budgies

 

179 when your budgies fill your emotional needs more than any person ever could (bit sad but true )

 

180 when you have seed stuck in between your toes continuously

 

181 when even when you clean the house vacum and everything theirs still seed and the odd feather flotting around the house

 

182 when your birds needs are priority over your shopping list
