The cere is like a light pink colour. Somebody told me once that white budgies don't have as obvious a cere colour as blue or green budgies. Is that true?

Actually, I'm not sure if he's a boy. I'll try and get a good picture of him and post it up when I can so you can see him. And he has this weird obsession with water! He loves it. Maybe when it gets hotter I'll try a squirter but I'm reluctant to right now because it's the middle of Winter and it's so cold!

He mostly does it when he's in his cage. When he's out he's too busy destroying bits of paper I have lying around. I think I've found that he is doing it because he wants something from me. He definitely has me well trained. If he wants to be covered/uncovered, or the light off or he has upturned his food and wants me to refill it... I probably shouldn't have given in so easily. When I got Pepi, he was only tiny and the breeder said he may not be able to fly, so Pepi spent a lot of time sitting on my shoulder and not going anywhere so he didnt need to screech to make noise. Then he learnt to fly but he always came back when I called. Storm was a little bit older when I got him and he can fly awesomely. When he's out of his cage the last thing he wants is to sit quietly when he has a whole room to explore! So without the bonding I had with Pepi, I have spoilt Storm shamelessly and I think I've gotten a loud and demanding bird out of the deal!

Hi everyone. I'm having a very loud problem with my budgie Storm. He's about a year old now and he's a pretty little thing but sometimes he drives me crazy by just squawking!! For no reason at all he will go from nice chirping to loud and obnoxious squawks. I have no idea why he does it and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? My last budgie Pepi was never like this. He squawked when I annoyed him but for his fantastic 9 years with me, he never did this. Arrrggghhh he's at it again!
