The budgie newcomers...

[fajrdrako]

My two new little feathered guys now have names. World, meet Phoenix (the green one) and Longshot (the blue one).

I'm hoping these names will be good omens for their health: in the X-Men comics, Phoenix has a habit of overcoming death, and Longshot is consistently lucky.

And these are characters I have always loved.

Poor little Remy was still too much of a nestling, so this is a good sign.
Co-ordinated, but still wide-eyed and curious, then?

Yes, definitely wide-eyed and curious, and a little overwhelmed by everything around them. We haven't determined whether they enjoy "Torchwood" yet but I'm working on it. They do seem to like my taste in Christmas music.

I think it's a comfort that they have each other; they sit shoulder to shoulder quite a bit, for mutual strength and courage.

Excellent! I'm sure you'll soon have them trained in fandom!
It's cute when birds snuggle up together on a perch!

Birds are so cute when they're affectionate. Like dogs, they're so warm and open in their affections, and quite ready to snap if they think you're out of line. Honesty in reaction! I love it.

Yes - they are incredibly appealing wee things!
