Happy 2013!

Happy 2013 to all budgie lovers in the world!

Super-relaxed cat doesn't let a budgie interfere with his nap

U-chan the budgie is tired of waiting for Chama the cat to wake up, then decides to take matters into his own beak. Fortunately, it's a very sleepy cat ;)

Coconut Craziness

Did you know that the first domesticated budgie laid her eggs inside a coconut?

That's why people in the 19th century gave coconuts to their budgies! You can still find coconut nests at some pet stores today, although a lot of people prefer to stick with wooden nesting boxes.

If you like coconuts, you can also give your budgies a coconut bowl, filled with a blend of fresh pieces of fruit, vegetables and millet!

Bika's nightmare

This morning, right before I woke up, I had one of the most disturbing budgie dreams ever!

This is how the story went...

Several budgies in the neighbourhood had been reported missing. I don't quite know where I was, but I remember I was looking for the lost budgies. The next moment, I found myself in a creepy cellar, stumbling about. I heard some chirping and I knew I was going to find the budgies, but I was so scared that something bad had happened to them... I just hoped they were all alive. 

There were a lot of cages stacked on top of each other, and I saw that the budgies were unharmed. But some of them were bright purple, and some of them were as tiny as a zebra finch! But otherwise they were okay. I realized that these budgies had to be the victims of some kind of mad scientist. I had to get them out of here.

Next to the budgies, I saw a disposable camera (left behind by WWF or Greenpeace) and it said "use me if you see animal cruelty". I didn't hesitate and took out the camera, took a picture of the purple budgies and the very small ones. Whoever had locked up those budgies, I would bring them to justice. Then I heard a noise upstairs, and I realized that someone was coming. I opened the cage doors and set the budgies free, then broke into a run, hoping the budgies would be able to escape together with me...


Of course, I woke up so I can't remember if we were able to escape or not. This is one of the weirdest dreams I ever had!

Budgie of the Month: Birdbird

Finally, I found myself a budgie of the month! His name is Birdbird and he is a very clever budgie. Here he is sitting on one foot (which is good, budgies who use both feet to rest on are often a bit ill)

On the photos below, you can see that...

He likes to nibble on the pineapple plant...
He's not afraid of the thing with the big eyes...
He likes to hang out in the fridge...
He also likes to hang out at the fish tank...
And he likes a little yellow duck girl!
