Frosty and Charlie have finally grown their flight wings and are enjoying a flight around the bird room with the rest of the flock. Frosty no-longer squeaks when he flies. Charlie has bonded with the rest of the flock and all seems to be going well. Charlie is in love with Pickles and Frosty thinks he is the king of the flock, everyone stays out of his way. Frosty and charlie, males going on 6 months.

Charlie's tail has yet to grow out properly. Bea refers that type of tail a duck butt.

Ozi, male is about 9 months old and is the largest budgie in my flock.
He is also the most timid and flirts with anything. Charlie continuously chases him
when he's not flirting with pickles.

Pickles love spinach and broccoli. Especially when they are wet.

Pud, female about 8 months old. Cere is slowly changing to brown and is constant
companion to Ozi.

Pud loves to be sprayed with water and just fluffs up when sprayed.

Last but not least is Jojo, female just over 5 years old. She is the queen of the flock. She is mixing well with the flock but likes her time alone. She flirts with Charlie, Ozi and Pickles and sometimes with Pud. Stay away from Frosty.
She is fully bonded with my wife and I.

I will be 64 and my wife will be 62 this year and who knew 5 1/2 years ago our lifes would have changed so much. These little creatures have affected our daily routine and we love every min. of it. Finally after 41 years of marriage we have something to talk about lol. If only we had know earlier we would have had budgies and no kids. :D

Your entire flock is amazing and I have to say, with Jojo's beautiful colors, she has to be the queen :)

Wow, 41 years of marriage. I hope My first and last marriage lasts like yours. :)

LOL! Your budgies are just gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing, I know how much my two have changed my life. My favorite picture is the one with all of them on top of that cage.

ADORABLE!! What a wide variety of colors, especially blues! I saw that Pickles was eating broccoli wet. I know that Banana seems to like broccoli but maybe it would be worth a try to see how he likes it wet!

Your budgies are so adorable!
Really a little flock to fall in love with.

Glad to hear that the flights of Frosty and Charlie have grown back. :clap:

The broccoli and spinach picture is adorable!! What a picture perfect moment. It almost looks like Pickles is swimming in there :) Your birds are all gorgeous. How rewarding to have such a beautiful flock of budgies! I bet they just love that big mirror by the top of their cage.

That picture of Oz with the big chest makes him look like a king. He should have a crown on his head in that picture.
