This morning I did my rounds of the budgie cages, feeding and checking them and found my Grandma's bird George II and his friend Winnie doing some odd things. When Winnie was a baby she had splayed legs, we took her to the vet and he bound her legs together which only bent the other one. She is crippled but is now quite adept at getting around the cage we set up for her. Nanna's keeping her with her budgie, George II and they are quite happy together. Anyway this morning I found Winnie and George side by side on the perch, Winnie was all puffed up with her beak open and George was preening her head while mating with the perch... They seemed to be enjoying themselves... He's obviously figured out that he cant actually jump on top of her as she'll fall off the perch so it seems he's improvising....

That's great Winnie can overcome her imperfections. I was fostering a severely splay legged lovebird for a short while, turned out he was an escape artist, and wanted to be with his own kind. He was a very quick little fellow, don't know why he was turned into rescue as his fellow lovies weren't (people bought a condo or something). Anyhow, he is back in the rescue and having a ball with his fellow lovies!! So everybody can adapt!

what a sweet story , thank you for sharing.
