Hi all,

 

Yeah, I can hear the chorus of "I told you so" already. Yep, I did it again. I went to buy my birdies another ladder as they all love the wooden one that is in their cage. I figured another one would mean less bickering. Stupidly I had a look at the budgies while I was there. Even more stupidly I pointed out a couple of nice ones to my daughter, Jacquie.

 

Now do you think I was going to be able to leave without making at least one purchase?

 

I tried to reason with my daughter that we didn't have the cage space. Didn't work.. not sure if I was trying to convince her or me. Sooo, as Adalard (Jacquie's budgie) is currently in our hospital cage I needed to get another quaranteen cage didn't I.

 

Jacquie was stuck on one bird and I really wanted the other as his markings would make him great for breeding.

 

One ladder, 2 budgies and 1 cage later.....

 

Both of them are 11 months old. For now their names are Woopsy and Oh-oh. We did consider "Oops" and "I did it again" Some time before the end of the month I am going to need a second large cage. Oh my goodness I am officially out of control.

 

Introducing:

 

 

Woopsy my potential good looking daddy

 

 

 

and Oh-oh who Jacquie wants to buy from me when she

gets paid next week.

 

 

 

Oh-oh and Woopsy, showing me one of his acrobatic tricks

 

 

 

 

Some one tell me how to stop.....

Come and see me and I will show you how out of control you can get !! :hap:

I will have to head your way one day to have a look before I go too much further. I bought a budgie with breeding in mind, for heavens sake!

 

[shakes head and walks off looking confused]

They are gorgeous boys feathers. That violet boy (I believe ) is a gorgeous shade of blue.

they are adorable .

I can see why you "lost it", such beautiful birds.

I wouldn't have been able to resist Whoopsy either.He is very handsome.Oh-Oh is cute too.

 

I have spent the last couple of hours sobbing.

 

My son went into my room some time today and left my door open. Apperently a cat managed to knock the quaranteen cage down and a door opened. He found one of our cats out the back with Woopsy. He was dead. I looked him over when I got home, and found out, and he just looked perfect, not a mark on him, except for a little blood under his wing

 

Poor baby wasn't even here for 24 hours....... He was soo, so beautiful...

 

RIP Woopsy...

 

I am so terribly sorry Feathers He was a magnificent budgie. What a tragedy ! It was a real shock to read this. I thought he was a stunner !! My biggest hugs for you and yours :angel1:

Thanks, he really was magnificent.... I was so over the moon to find him, and now this....

So sorry to hear your bad news! He was such a gorgeous boy!! RIP little boy

RIP little fella

I am very sorry for your loss. Woopsy was a gorgeous budgie. He may have died from shock. This thread put tears in my eyes as well, but not only for Woopsy and you. Please give your son an extra hug...I don't know how old he is but if old enough to understand Woopsy is not going to wake up I'll bet he feels just awful.

Thanks all for your kind thoughts and words.

 

Rainbow, Nathan is 15, he felt really awful about it, so I will pass on that hug. He will appreciate it.

 

Oh-oh is now officially Jacquie's budgie, she paid for him yesterday, and she wants to keep Oh-oh as his name.
