The Budgies...

[fajrdrako]

Since people have requested pictures, here at last are the handsome little devils I live with. First, Logan, who is blue, on an expedition to nibble the ceiling:



And then Gambit (who is green) on top of Pryde's cage - Pryde being white with blue markings:

Pretty bird!

Pretty bird!

Aw! They are adorable! Gambit looks like our dear old Magnus - traditional wild-budgie green! What beautiful birds!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Shh! They're already vain enough.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Favourite budgie memories: stroking soft feathers; the warmth of little feet wrapped around my finger, in complete trust. They are so loveable and bright!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

They certainly are all of that. And loud as well!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

So glad you like them. I think your Magnus must have been wonderful. Gambit aspires to be like him.

Oh I like Pryde! He dresses like Eden...

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

She does? You mean Eden wears white with blue trim?

Pryde has been with you for a long time!

I'm afraid to ask about Domino...

[dargie.livejournal.com]

You do have handsome children. *g*

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Allow me to beam proudly and happily like the happy mother I am.

And you have a handsome icon there. Reminds me of Lymond....

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Pryde has been with you for a long time!

Longest of them all. And she is the one who is overweight and has health problems. Go figure. I think I may have an Immortal bugie.

As for Domino: R.I.P., sweet little guy. I only have the three of them now.

Magnus was a sweetie. He could talk, and was very chatty.
Your trio are very lovely!

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

They are truly love-birds: very loving and loveable.

How nice to see pics of them!

I don't know how my mum manages to keep a budgie with three cats in the house. Much as I like budgies, I wouldn't dare try!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

No, I wouldn't try either - though I wouldn't mind having a dog as well. But three budgies are quite enough to take care of!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Which is why they are so good to live with.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Mine don't talk, but they manage to be very chatty anyway! They get their point across without words.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

I love the expressive way they have of tilting their tiny heads to one side when they're listening.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, they give such complete attention - when they feel like it.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

They are good at giving the impression of being extremely wise wee things... then spoil it by immediately battering the hell out of one of their toys on the cage-floor.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Or by hanging upside down in some bizarre acrobatic pose and chirping the budgie equivalent of, "Look at me! Look at me!"

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Upside down on the ceiling, walls, swing... "The daring small bird on the flying trapeze..."

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

And to them, everything they see is a trapeze.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Delightful to hear them - and you - last night, too!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

It was fun, wasn't it? I fear I was too tired to be very intersting but it was still fun to talk. Even though the way the internet line echoes keeps confusing me and I'm not sure if/when I am interrupting you sometimes.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Yes - there is a bit of an echo, but not too bad. But it's so lovely to be able to chat about our favourite things, and hear the wee guys cheeping and tweeting and chattering in the background!

[meret.livejournal.com]

Aww! Very pretty! :)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I thank you. They thank you. Admiration happily accepted.

Everybody likes your icon!
