After 5 years he was too tame for his own good. His wings were not clipped but he still liked to walk around on the grass out the back often. So Sunday I went out to clean his cage and he jumped up on my finger and when he got out instead of jumping up on my shoulder or just jumping down into the grass he took flight. He has never flown more than a few metres in his life. I was so shocked when he flew over the back fence. But I was still not that worried, I got the kids to jump the fence and get him. But my son did not grab him he jsu had him on his finger and when he passed him back over the fence he took flight. He went way way up in the air and out into the bush. So after we all shed many tears I bought a bigger cage and got these two 6 week old little monkeys. So tame after 2 days they are not afraid of anything. What type are they? Is jasper a Yellow faced Mauve? and George ????? Edited May 30, 2012 by CYCLEPRO101 Link to comment

Also I am deeply sorry for the loss of your good budgie friend Buddie boy. Link to comment

At this young age would you guess they are both male, as the breeder said? Even though Jasper cere is not blue like Georges, but I have seen some cock birds with very ....non blue ceres Edited May 31, 2012 by CYCLEPRO101 Link to comment

It's possible he is still around. Leave his old cage out and up somewhere high enough in the garden, and you never know, he may come back if he sees it. Link to comment

We live very close to the bush so I guess he could be there. But if he landed in a yard I think a cat or dog would of got him, as he was very tame/dumb, anywone could of walked up and picked him up. Anyway these two little monkeys are very funny, getting the second one, Geoge, was a great idea, they are both so friendly. When we take em out of the cage we try to separate them just to give them a break from each other, as they are always kissing a scratching and feeding each other, even falling asleep on each other.
