Posted June 5, 200915 yr All your threads with sweet birds inspired me and now I'll try to start a thread with photos of my own budgies. Cos I like my birds and I like to photograph. So I've like a million photos of them by now. Yesterday I forced them to bath, and after a while they stopped to pretend that they hated it and realized that they liked it. Very typical them. They are the worst kind of attention wh*res I know, they just have to be all over everyone so they won't miss anything of interest, or even worse, miss food. Here is Petronella on my shoulder, controlling what I'm doing with the computer. Winchester is handsome in reality, but he always does ugly faces when he sees a camera. Here is an unusual exception when he doesn't look like a weirdo. Fjådor is going through his first moulting, not that handsome. He looks like a (sweet) traffic victim. Petronella moved in here when she was 1 ½ year old, she was a breeding budgie who had lived in a aviary and never really been in touch with humans. But she is very cool and my other birds taught her how to handle humans. The other three moved here when they were around 6-9 weeks old. (from the same breeder who gave me Petronella) Winchester and Fjådor is tasting at bit of a millet a friend of mine growth. I'll try to do it myself i think. I'm finding it pretty cool to serve home-made millets. Avril makes sure that her toes are clean Fjådor is now around 4 month old and he don't let the other boss him around (but they tries every day) No one dare to mess with Avril and Petronella. Which they find a bit boring though they like to drive everyone crazy. A couple of days ago they got some new twigs. They liked it very much, most of all they like to push each other of the branches. It is almost impossible to take a photo where all of them are in, but sometimes it happens! Winchester, Petronella, Fjådor and Avril. Sorry for the photo boom, I'll try to control my photo-uploading in the future.
June 5, 200915 yr wonderful flight picture those are the hardest I think, all your pics are very nice, I do hope you enter one in the Budgie of the Month Contest.
June 6, 200915 yr Those are wonderful pictures. My daughter and I enjoyed looking at them all. I particularly like the last one where they are all flying. Summer
June 6, 200915 yr Yes....please don't stop showing us your photos, I think you take the most wonderful photos
August 11, 200915 yr Author Now are I and all the birds home from the summer cottage. The budgies have been in the aviary the whole summer and they totally loved it! Their feathers got perfect after a couple of weeks in the sun, the birds are so handsome now! Here are some photos from the summer: Petronella, my looove And the gaybirds Avril my princess And Fjådor lost his tail feathers in his latest moult, haaaaaha. Riddicolous! I liked it but he don't want to talk about it. Winchester dumped his boyfriend Fjådor and got after Petronella instead. Groaw

August 22, 200915 yr Author Petronella and Winchester wants babies, and I won't let them. Hehehehe. So now I'm tierd of their humping and they're mad at me for stopping their baby-dream. bah! But Fjådor is a well behaved parrot. (sometimes). Not very often but i happens. wroooom Petronella and her favourite-food. More humping, gah. Petronella Winchester and his favourite-food. (yeah it is the same) Fjådor thinks that he is a super-hero.
September 4, 200915 yr I agree with everyone, your photo's and captions are a delight to see & read, and never fail to put a smile on my face. Robyn
December 6, 200915 yr Author It's been a while since I last posted, so I've got a bunch of photos by now. I don't remember if I've told you this before but in January a new little bird will move in her. She is a second hand parrot who was born at my friend (the breeder) in September 2008, then she moved away to a woman who can't have budgies any more. So yes, I'll go and get her in January. Her name is Rosie af VildaParadis and this is how she looked as a baby, adorable! (Photo taken by the breeder) And my birds at home are just fine, crazier than ever I would say. They all love this toy, here's Petronella using it as a swing. Winchester's moultings are as beautiful as always Fjådor is feeling a little jelaous. Petronella and Winchesters don't care. Friday night, Winchester is trying to get drunk on coke And Petronella my little beauty queen Fjådor would like to show you a new "ugly-face-look" he has learned Here are another one, I'm not very impressed... Everyone likes a good book, except from Winchester who is trying to destroy them. The Christmas-toys are here now, Fjådor loves everything Petronella shows her not that fluttering side, the egg-shaped one. Winchester is trying to look huge And Petronella is just cute
