July 15, 200817 yr You are quick off the mark! I am AV give me your sick and wounded and I shall heal them! Give me your lost and I will spend all day on the phone tracking down their thoughtless stupid owner Give me your naughty and I will try to explain to my boss that the bird flying around my office at work is not a health issue.... I give you the $150 crested Budgie that the kids lost intrest in so they let him go..... Not sure what to do with him but I know that MB likes Crested ones so maybe a wedding gift????? or a loaner to try and get some chicks out of... So the story is that the Breeder sold to the lady for her kids as a pet bird for $150, they got bored of it and let it go. :bluebudgie: She does not want the bird back (not sure I would give it to her anyway) the breeder does not want it back. A lady found it and brought it into work as she thought it was a baby and I will take my hat off to her as she was trying to feed it handrasing mix that she had bought. I am known as the crazy bird lady so the bird was handed to me. I then tracked the breeder via the ring details who gave me the owners name and number, rang the owner and found out what happened and then brought him home. Did a swap around and a quick clean of a cage and he is settled into Quaratine.... Oh and his head he has broken a few blood feathers as she is going though molt he had not been attacked like everyone in the office thought! Another lady has a couple of birds she wants to get rid of (hand tamed Budgies) but i told her that it would have to be a few weeks before I could look at taking them on! So MB what you think?
July 15, 200817 yr He is a nice looking boy :bluebudgie: Post him to me if MB doesnt want him - he would be perfect with Lilly Edited July 15, 200817 yr by **Liv**
July 15, 200817 yr :bluebudgie: I can just imagine the look on your boss' face. He is cute I like his funny hair (crest...sorry)
July 15, 200817 yr Author AV he's my dream! Crested AND a spangle :bluebudgie: He is tufted (a variation on a proper crest) How big is he?
July 15, 200817 yr AV he's my dream! Crested AND a spangle He is tufted (a variation on a proper crest) How big is he? no he is crested I am pretty sure, just it all over the place due to blood feathers being broken and his molt will be good to see what he looks like when he finishes him molt. Honey if you really like him he can be your wedding present, will have to find him a girlfriend. i think Ivan has a tuffed white hen in at the moment will check in the next few days if she is nice then i will see about getting her for you so i can give you the pair, I have a funny feeling she is a spangle as well. When I first saw him I thought, MB would just fall in love with him! He is a decent size which is godd as well. You will have to come check him out!
July 15, 200817 yr [ When I first saw this picture, I thought he was a runner, with no tail feathers. Then I scrolled down and got the rest of the story. Good for you for providing a home for him.
July 15, 200817 yr Nope he has tail feathers just sitting in a odd positon in the first picture. MB is going to give him a home and I am going to try and find him a tuffed or crested hen to pair up with for MB as a wedding gift. Really when I first saw him I was like... Oh MB is soooooo going to steal him from me!
July 15, 200817 yr AV - We need to book you into another surgery, To remove the Tracking device that the birds are Zoning in on Mate I don't have anymore hats to take off to you LOL .....

Oh MB is soooooo going to steal him from me! He needs to pair with a normal hen Crested to crested = unhealthy chicks :hap:

But for $150 Pet - What spoiled kids - Let me know when they get bored of their LCD flat screen tv I'll take that Yeah I know they seem to flock to me! But better I get them then let them go to bad places. I will always take them if I can. I also tell everyone who will listen about my birds so everyone knows me as the crazy bird lady. He needs to pair with a normal henCrested to crested = unhealthy chicks Really never knew that, thanks Liv. What would you pair him with? So I have an idea of what to buy for MB? Calling Kaz she always knows the anwser to these questions
July 15, 200817 yr Here is a really good article to read before you breed Breeding Crests He is a cutie congrats. Edited July 15, 200817 yr by Elly
July 15, 200817 yr Thanks Elly, great read. I would love to give MB a pair for her wedding gift, we where talking to each other last night and she said most people give crock pots I give Budgies..... :budgiedance: Hey she could have a crock pot if she wants but I think the Budgie is a beter gift anyway! Oh after reading the article I believe that he is a half-circular crest (or will be when his molt is finished) I also now know that I should pair him with a crest-bred which is a baby from a crested bird but with no visable signs of cresting.... okay where am I going to find one of those?
July 15, 200817 yr Libby has some crest bred birds. try calling your local budgie club and ask them if any one breeds crested budgies - they should be able to help you find one
July 15, 200817 yr Thanks Liv we have a meeting coming up next week so will ask around at that. I really would like a spangle so then hopefully she can get spangle crested babies which will look like their dad. I really do think he is a nice bird.
