Yes....that's whats happening. Just wants to be with "mum" now.....there is no peace. Hard to type one handed. What a little cutie. He has just had breakfast. He walks on the side of one foot but I am hoping that will correct when he gains some more strength and learns to perch. He is almost fully feathered now, but won't take his dinner off a spoon yet or from a dish. I will try him on some fine sliced spinach and carots later for nibbling. :D

well chew it up and spit it out now if you are mum ;) how are you going to part with him :D you are a strong lady Karen. Like I said you are killing me over here, cuteness over drive. I love him to death!!!

Part of my star sign Lovey....I am practical. Capricorn. This baby deserves to be a tame pet budgie and I know I cannot have one here due to cats and future accidents. It would be a shame to put him in the aviary after all this human blueprinting. So if Cheeta can keep it as a pet then she can have him. I get visitation rights :D

Ahhh I am a Virgo I am practical but I get attached way to easy that is why I stay out of the pet shops. So my practical is stay away so I don't fall in love and want more ;). Your the best!

I have just taken delivery of my newest rescue budgie....I have a lovely little pied budgie female that has spent 2 yrs in a very tiny cage. I will post piks :D

 

************************************************************************

:fear Macey Grey was found dead this morning. She seems to have had a soft shelled egg stuck. But yesterday gave no indication at all of being unwell. Cheeta and I saw her yesterday and she was fine. No indication of illness at all. She had laid 3 eggs with Clyde. I have put the eggs with another mother. :(

awe man Karen she was a beautiful hen, I am sorry to hear this :fear

I saw your newest Free and she is beautiful

:fear LOVE the video, smart and cute little bird that will make it, no question. Sorry to hear about Macey Grey, it must be really hard some days to be a breeder. :(

Thanks Phoebes....Macey was a beautiful hen...... :D

The baby seems a little quieter today but we have a very hot day as well. I hold out some hope, but these little guys can turn around and go downhill very rapidly sometimes.

I only have 12 pairs breeding right now and around 100 or more budgies that aren't ....just flying free, healthy and happy, flirting with each other and having a ball. :D

:fear I sense a winner, just like Charlie! :(

Charlie's new name is now Moet...like the champagne....Mo for short. His new owners are very happy with him.

Here is their email to us.....

 

Hi Karen and Ken

 

We just wanted to let you know how Moët is going, he has made himself

right at home and he seems really happy and settled. Each day he gets

a bit more lively and playful. He has had non-stop loves and cuddles

and everyone who meets him thinks he is adorable.

 

Tomorrow night we are taking him to puppy pre-school at the local

vet, that should be very interesting!!!!! His toilet habits are

going well and he is keen to explore the house and garden and get

into everything that he knows he shouldn't.

 

Thank you both so much for the puppy pack, it helped us get started

and also for trusting us with this precious puppy, we are both so

attached to him already and he spends time sitting on both of our feet.

 

We will keep you updated ,

 

 

 

 

from Zoe and Steve :D

:fear Thanks so much Bubbles, My Charlie, now Moet (whom I couldn't have), what a wonderful dog! :(

I don't think the little one likes the heat too much. He seems fairly quiet yesterday when I visited, but look how active his was at night with you!! What a cute vid by the way.. I hope it is only the heat that's bugging the little guy.

 

So so so sorry to hear about Macey gray!! She was a good looking bird. I'm shock today to hear that, she was looking great yesterday. :fear

Macey was a shock....no indication of any sort of a problem. :D

Maybe the little fella is a night bird ? He's on my lap right now. Oops !! I got pooped on :fear:

I think a name change is in order too.....as he seems to waddle about and dance and wag his little tail I thought of the funny way Charlie Chaplin used to walk on the black and white movies. So I think I will call him Chaplin or Chappie for short. Does that meet with your approval ?

After a very bright evening and a bright morning, baby is not doing too well at all this afternoon. A downhill slide. I knew I shouldnt have named him..... :wub:

So sorry Karen you lost him. He was gorgeous. Life just isnt fair sometimes, actually sometimes it sucks!! I lost my gorgeous little King Parrot at 4 days old. Your little fella had a great home for the time he was with you and you did all you could for him. :wub:

Oh Karen. (((HUGS))). You worked so hard trying to keep him alive. I admire you from afar. RIP Little One!!!!

I will keep this short and sweet due to mixed emotions and trying to control my anger at a situation that shouldn't have happened. Unknown to me my husband used flyspray this morning in excess in a place he shouldnt have and my baby bird has died because of it. I don't use flysprays and now he knows why. He knows he has caused the death of a baby bird that had turned a corner and was going to make it. When the baby suddenly went downhill I was also unaware that Ken had done this. Mixed emotions here....a lot of women can understand when we tell these men something there is a reason for it. They think they know better and there are consequences.........very sad :wub:

Big Hugs Karen. :budgiedance: You did the absolute best you could.

 

I'm sure Ken just didn't think.:wub: We all make mistakes.

I am speechess first I read that he passed and was sad then you posted again and I really don't know what to say. He is a little one that touched my heart from overseas (many of yours have) but this one and Bubble have been so in my heart. :wub:

Thankyou for the lovely words Elly. Also thankyou for the E-card you sent that refused all my efforts to view it :P ....I am sure it was lovely. I feel a bit lost. I was in a pattern of feeds and cuddles to bring this baby along and he had turned that corner. Ken didn't think and it has had a very bad result. He is trying to make ammends but he may not truly know how much the little guy meant to me .....to be the one that was making it out of all I have tried. :(

 

Big Hugs Karen. :( You did the absolute best you could.

 

I'm sure Ken just didn't think.:) We all make mistakes.

Thankyou. I know it was a mistake....a very horrible one. I am sure he has learnt there are reasons for these sets of rules now. I won't punish him for too long.....

 

Oh Karen. (((HUGS))). You worked so hard trying to keep him alive. I admire you from afar. RIP Little One!!!!

Thanks so much Shawna for the sincere wishes and thoughts. I appreciate it :angel1:

 

So sorry Karen you lost him. He was gorgeous. Life just isnt fair sometimes, actually sometimes it sucks!! I lost my gorgeous little King Parrot at 4 days old. Your little fella had a great home for the time he was with you and you did all you could for him. :(

Thankyou Jenene. You know what it is like. I appreciate your sharing feelings with me here. Thanks :angel1:

you must read my e-card ((hugs)) forgiveness is hard it takes time, I know you love Ken but I also know because I have been there on how angry you are right now inside at him. I am sure he is beating himself up too. :) Nothing will replace this little Miracle and only time will heal and forgive.
