Announcing Master Keet!

[tweet007]

Good morning,

So there I was, visiting a rather nice pet store in NJ, when I noticed a basically white pied-with-black/blue male parakeet in a separate cage.

I'm used to parakeets in pet stores fluttering away when I put my finger near them, so I was quite surprised when he looked at me, looked at my finger, and moved closer. Then closer, then closer, then WHOMP! Now I know the speed of a budgie strike!!

Boy that was a shock. Knowing that he couldn't break my skin (hope hope hope) I put my finger back and started talking to him. Found out more of his story - someone had brought him in 5 days ago, after finding him outside. And to make a long story short Master Keet (as in, Master Jedi) has joined my flock. Hasn't chomped on me since that first devouring - he steps up nicely and liked to be scritchled on the neck.

MK burbles like a brook and also knows how to make kissing sounds! I'm keep him separate from the other budgies for now, but he certainly does seem to be quite a sweetie. I'll post his pic soon.

Enjoy,

Barbara

Good morning,

I lost my passwd as Tweet007, so I'm now posting at BarbT. It's with much sadness that I announce over the weekend, Master Keet passed away. I wrote about him over at

He was truly a great little birdie.

But I just noticed that you had him 2 years, right? So he had a good life with you...and maybe he was already older...

Barb~ I'm so sorry for your loss of Master Keet!:( I was reading your thread as I hadn't come across it before and was smiling at your story. I'm sure Master Keet had a wonderful life with you and a lot of love.:)

Hi Barb. I'm so sorry to hear about Master Keet. I read your story and was very touched by it. That was a wonderful final resting place you gave him. Such compassion and warmth.
You'll always have loving memories of him.

Rest in peace Master Keet. :(
