Hi all!
Since this sub forum is for sharing, I thought that I'd share how my parents came to own their two current budgies. Both were rescued by us in their backyard! Kiwi, a green budgie, was first seen eating out of the wild bird feeder eight years ago this September. We had two other budgies at the time(Patches and Sprite, R.I.P.)and so I took their cage outside and placed it right by the feeder. Sure enough, Kiwi flew down to the cage to investigate, and I took the cage with Kiwi on top of it inside. We bought another cage, and she remains with my parents today! She is extremely smart- she figured out how to get the cage door to stay open in no time, and she chewed her way through the bottom of the play gym floor. The blue budgie, Gonzo, was lucky enough to fly into my parents' yard one rainy morning while my mom was on the phone. She just happened to look outside and saw a little blue bird underneath the tree. She yelled for me, and, in my bathrobe, went outside to see if I could catch him. He was missing his long tailfeathers, and was soaking wet. I was able to grab him, and brought him inside. That was three years ago... lucky birdies! :)
