I was given a budgie today by a neighbour who's father recently died. Her father owned the budgie and she had no interest in caring for him so I took him immediately and brought him home. She is similar in colour to Sunny Boy and I have named her Lily as she did not have a name or at least my neighbour did not know her name.

 

She is not tame but I will work with her daily to see if I can tame her. I do not know how old she is and I am assuming that she is in fact a she because her cere is brown and a bit crusty.

 

They are in separate cages and I will keep them that way for a month and then slowly introduce them to see if they get along. I am so happy that she was given to me because the cage was filled with poop and looked like it had not been cleaned since her owner passed away.

 

I will post pictures of her soon :ygbudgie:

Lily has settled in nicely, she is still afraid of me but she is singing and eating all of her fruits and vegetables like a good little birdy...hoping to tame her in time.
