Posted November 26, 201410 yr Hi Everyone, My name is Mark.. Sadly my little mate "Tweety" (the budgie) passed away early last week.. He was named Tweety by my niece as he was quite yellow when he was young... He seemed to develop more green as he aged, but the name was still quite fitting as he loved to sit in his cage and talk, chirp and whistle away, making all sorts of racket just like the cartoon character he was named after.... Its funny how that you don't realise the difference that they make to your life until they are gone.. Anyway, sometime in the very near future I plan to get a new budgie, but I would like to get one that is still young enough that I can hand raise, and hopefully have him tame enough that he will not be scared of me so that he can come out of his cage and have a fly around if he/she wants to.. I found this site whilst searching online for breeders (to buy a new budgie).. I have been doing quite a bit of reading, I learned a few things that I didn't know, and also a have few questions that I hope that you can answer for me.. Thanks Mark..
November 29, 201410 yr Hi and welcome to the forum, sorry for your loss, just post any questions you have in the appropriate sections and you should get some answers Thanks
November 29, 201410 yr Author Hi Budgie Lov3r, Thanks for your reply.. No disrespect, but I got quite excited when I found an actual "Aussie" Budgie forum, but sadly the reality seems to be that this forum is dead.. As much as I detest the idea of joining a dot com (USA/Worldwide) based forum to discuss what is ultimately an Australian bird, it may be the only way that I'll find an active forum... Thanks..
December 3, 201410 yr Hi Backlash, The more new people we can get on here, the better. I used to be a very active member when the forum was thriving and was quite dissapointed when I came back to find everything so quiet and...dead... Hope you can help to revive it again! So sorry for your loss and can't wait to hear more of your journey. Katie
December 5, 201410 yr Author I will still check in here from time to time as there is some good information here, even with the dead links... Its just hard to be active on a forum where you only get 2 replies in over a week... Much to my disgust, I ended up joining Talk Budgies Forum, which appears to be US/Canadian based, but at least its active.. .
