Posted August 2, 200816 yr How proud I am!! Charley is one year old this month and for the very first time ever, I just saw him sleeping with his little beak tucked in his wings!! I am so excited.. one day I will take a photo of him but he's very alert and the minute I get the camera out he's showing off, racing around!! I've always thought its the cutest thing when budgies are "tucked up" in their wings, but Charley would never sleep that way. I was so jealous of of those of you who's budgies sleep like that!!! Tonight ... the very first time!! I feel like a mum whose baby has just taken his first steps... cut her first tooth... said his first word!!! No one but another budgie person could ever understand my excitement!!! What a clever little man!!
August 3, 200816 yr How adorable I hope you can get photos to capture it forever - and to post here for us all to see hehe

August 6, 200816 yr Aurgh, boy! Sharing in your delight! It's true... only a proud budgie owner feeling... so true!
August 7, 200816 yr Author How adorable I hope you can get photos to capture it forever - and to post here for us all to see hehe I keep trying to get close enough to Charley for a photo but he's so darn inquisitive! I try to hide under the cage.. he peers over the edge as if to say "helllloooo!!!" ... : I try to mosey on casually "past" with camera at the ready.. he flies straight to the side of the cage and bobs his little head up and down in excitement!! Pest!! By the way, i decided to teach him a phrase other than praising HIMSELF!! (i.e. Charley's a clever boy, a pretty budgie, scratch my tummy ...etc etc). Something that is aimed at ME!!! (the relationship was a bit one sided :hap:) ...He now says "Hello!!! You look nice today!!.. Lets have a Baileys!" Hey now THAT'S better!!!
August 7, 200816 yr That's so gorgeous! I'm trying to teach my parrot "I love you" to indulge myself, but she says lots of things, but that's not one of them! lol
