Posted August 22, 200618 yr All i asked was that he looked after my budgies for 4 days!!! Well i came home and in Blinkie's and Ozzie's cages there were perches fallen down and Ozzie had broken a couple of blood feathers in his wing. Luckily it had stopped bleeding by the time i got to it but Tim "didn't even notice", there was blood all over his wing!!!!! I also asked him to give the aviary budgies a handful of endive on top of their seed each day. I prechopped all the endive and other veggies i asked him to give Blink, Oz and everyone else. He fed Blink and Oz fresh veggies but not the budgies in the aviary because "i was trying to do it as fast as possible"!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! I could murder him!!!!!!!!!!!
August 22, 200618 yr Author Never rely on a family member to appreciate the care budgies need in my case i'm afraid.
August 22, 200618 yr hate to say it (not bashing all the male gender because we do have some good male owners here) but it is a male thing not just a family I am glad they are okay.
August 22, 200618 yr Author No, it's a family thing here. If i even start to mention daily veggies, "why are you so obsessed with those budgies?!" and if i try to explain that you can't keep a budgie cooped up in a tiny cage all day "those budgies control your life!"
August 22, 200618 yr Oh yes I hear that too but not from the kids the hubby I told him to stop being jealous of the birds and get on with it....:ausb:
August 22, 200618 yr Author One day i should get a cockatoo and then they'd see what a life controlling bird would be like! :(Laughing out loud): Most of the time i tell them "well i don't mind organising my life around them" and i know that they really do know that i know what i'm talking about because if one gets sick i can always get mum on my side nagging dad to drive me to the vet. Mum would pay for a taxi to take me if dad wouldn't.
August 22, 200618 yr Author Grrrr....my brother is still annoying me! I asked him why he did such a half-assed job looking after my budgies and he said "if they were mine i'd take care of them properly" me: "well that was your chance to prove it" Tim: "I hate budgies" GRRRRRR.....still could've looked after them properly butthead!! I'm pretty sure that mum paid him for "looking after" my budgies too, though neither will admit to it.
August 22, 200618 yr Awww Bea poor birdies. At least it was only 4 days. I bet the aviary birdies were glad of their veggies today eh?
August 22, 200618 yr Sorry Bea what a shame! If he was my brother id do something back to him (i get evil like that, and would rub his toothbrush in the sink along the edge, eat his food in the fridge that he baught, or dip his new shoes in mud then say the dog did it (Laughing out loud) (Laughing out loud) Lovey yes your right... *Kirbys a male cough cough* Kirby :ausb: (Laughing out loud)
August 22, 200618 yr I'm going to have the same problem I think. I'm going for two week holiday soon and I'm afraid that my mum won't take care of my birds properly. When I had a degus (rodent), mum said she will take care of him while I'm gone. I told her he mustn't eat too much of fat or sugar - and she said okay, don't worry. But then when I was cleaning his cage I found all the staff he mustn't eat I hope she will listen to me now. Edited August 22, 200618 yr by Zebra
