Thanks everyone for the warm welcome I bought it home this afternoon, and it is fitting in quite well. My 3 cats are very interested, but are only looking, not touching! Because l had a bowling league on this morning, l had limited time to buy things for my bird. I bought only the basics - cage, feed and water holders (with feed and water in them!), perches and a stick (the sticks with seeds stuck to them) Tomorrow morning l will venture out to buy a cuttlefish/mineral block, ladder, mirror, other various toys, a skirt for the cage, and sandpaper for the perches. I have taken two photos: P.S. It doesn't have a name yet! I don't know if its male or female - its 6.5 weeks old (thats what the pet shop guy said) and l would really like a name for it. Any ideas?

Hey everyone, I just joined (about 2 minutes ago) and l just wanted to share the news that l'm getting my very first budgie today. I'm 20 and my parents have let me get one. Before, they didn't think i'd look after it properly, but they have decided that l'm trustworthy enough I fell in love with a pied one yesterday. We used to have a budgie years ago, and l did clean out the cage a few times, so l have a little experience with them. I have made a list of all of the things that l need. Very excited and l can't wait! I will pick him/her up this afternoon!
