G'day From Newbie.

G'day all. I'm Steve. I have 3 Budgies - George ( who is Definately George ) , Mildred ?? and Maxine ?? George & Mildred came to me as a pair, but when I wasn't too sure about Mildred's sex I was offered another female - Maxine. I'm almost certain Mildred and Maxine are girls but even if they're not the names are to stick regardless !

The 4 of us have been together for almost 2 months now, and George who is finger tame is my fave. Maxine likes to sit on a plastic coathanger and go for rides around the room, but she doesn't quite trust my finger yet. Mildred is just stubborn - but does end up following the other two if I have returned them to the cage. Mildred is missing a huge chunk of her cere. Thats how she came to me. I'm wondering if that was from a flying injury, or from some form of abuse from another bird or from a human.

 

..... Man is the cruellest animal .

Welcome to BBC ;), if you need help with sexing your budgie we do have a forum for that and you will just have to post pictures of the cere without a flash but in good lighting and we can help you out that way. Also in the FAQs there is an article with pictures on how to sex your budgie.

Hi and welcome. I look forward to seeing photos of your darling too.
