June 29, 200915 yr Carmen I think everyone needs to see a picture of your new little one! We DO! Introducing the newest addition to my flock, a gorgeous little boy courtesy of AV's budgies Blue and Flame! He is just a beautiful little boy, and even having him for only one day has made my home feel fuller again after having lost Chomp a couple of weeks ago. Everyone in the house has fallen in love with him already, I have been getting emails from boyfriend and housemate to see how he was this morning. I havent named the little one yet, he is so small and cute, I am trying to find something that captures his inquisitive personality perfectly. Thank you so much to AV for trusting me with this precious little guy, it was lovely to meet her and her friends and family, as well as her other fids!
June 29, 200915 yr its so cute he looks really happy and healthy too, i hope you can spend many years with him
June 29, 200915 yr Thinking of names for him, I have come up with two so far. The first, which is simplest to explain, is Indiana (Indy) for short since he is so inquisitive and likes to check everything out. The second, Kalium (Kal or Kallie for short) pays homage to his parents Blue and Flame. Kalium is the latin name for the element Potassium. Potassium, when ignited, produces a blue flame. That, and its cute
June 29, 200915 yr Boyfriend and housemate are proving no help, one wants to call him Hernando and the other wants to call him Captain Airstrike (because he pooped on him)
June 29, 200915 yr Author Captian Airstrike will suit him once he starts to fly. I am crying, I know it's silly and all and I could not have asked for a better home for him, trust me I am crying in a good way! Thanks so much for the pictures!
June 29, 200915 yr There will be plenty more where they come from! Am going to set up a play gym for him on top of his cage, hopefully we can snap him playing with some toys!
June 29, 200915 yr Author Carmen here are a few of his parents Dad as a baby Flame Mozzie and Blue sleeping Flame and Blue Hanging out in the avairy
June 29, 200915 yr He has been out of the cage pretty much all evening, and has decided that his favourite place to hang out is on my shoulder I put him on the play gym and he had a good time chirping to my other budgie Jim who is in the next room, and jumping up onto the window ledge and just checking the place out. If I have him on my finger, he now flies to my chest/head and climbs in behind my hair. He is such a funny little fella, and I'm starting to feel like a pirate. Maybe I should call him Blackbeard. Spot the budgie! Arrr, I be a stealth budgie Arrrr! Me cover be blown! Such a snuggle bug!
June 30, 200915 yr Sootie, I love Kalium as a name too! I think thats what I'll call him, and call him Kallie as his nickname AV, you werent wrong! He is so funny, he jumped on Daniel's collar last night, walked all the way around the back and he was like, hmmph! No hair here! And promptly tried to fly across the room before he got caught. I'm getting good at catching budgies mid flight! I saw signs of disturbance in his seed bowl and a couple of husks, as well as a poop near his water bowl so hopefully he is thinking of eating food other than millet and having some water (gave him some probiotics in his water since I dont want the stress of the new home to upset his little tummy)! He was having a good old chirp when I came home at lunch to check on him, so I think he is starting to settle in.
June 30, 200915 yr Author He likes Frozen corn (defrosted of course) was always one of the first to musle his way into the veggies bowl for the corn.
