Billie

(Laughing out loud), thanks birdluv!! Aww, you made Billie blush!! :(Laughing out loud): Thanks for the information and pics, KAZ! Appreciate it! And I'll look into the competition too!

Considering he is around 5 months or older you are doing very well to have tamed him as he seems to be right now. You have created that special bond already and its all positive from here on. Many petshops and bird dealers sell older budgies as babies, especially if they clip their wings and they cannot fly...its easy to say they are younger when someone doesnt know. But not to worry, you seem to have won Billie over and all is good. Glad you are here. Thanks, KAZ. Although, on the other hand, I have reasons to believe he truly is 7 weeks old. I believe he has matured a bit early, but is 7 weeks all the same. It is probably hard to tell through photographs, but I think he is definitely a baby. Thanks again for the info, and the friendly welcome, though! ~ Billie and Steph.

Hi! Thanks for the replies! KAZ, thanks for the info! I'll admit I had some suspisions... He has been incredibly easy to tame and train, which made me think he may have been as young as the breeder claimed he was, but given the colour of his cere and other factors that I have noticed makes me wonder. I don't know a whole lot about budgies, though, so I appreciate the info!

Hello all! My name is Steph, I'm a Victorian, and in my senior years of highschool. Billie is my baby budgie, who is seven weeks old this Saturday, and doesn't often leave my shoulder (where he is sitting right now). He is absolutely gorgeous, maybe a little too cheeky for his own good! This is the quiet Billie on the computer desk spying on emails... And this is the cheeky Billie pulling pens out of a pencil case! Nah, he's well behaved and the most gorgeous budgie I have ever known! Looks like a fantastic forum, and I look forward to posting more and getting to know fellow budgie-lovers! ~ Billie and Steph
