Went up to Clive's bird store to get monthly supplies and had all
intentions of getting a female budgie for Butch or 2 females and a male
so there would be two pairs of budgies. It seems local bird stores
aren't raising budgies any more as hand feeding and time invested in
taming them doesn't make it worth while if you have to sell them for
$20. I hate buying them in national pet stores as they run the
equivalent of puppy mills for birds such as inbreeding and their health
and longevity are questionable. I was disappointed when Deborah said
that someone had brought in a budgie that was found in an empty
warehouse and they were just looking for a good home for it. Long story
short I have a new budgie. It is a male so I don't know how he and
Butch will get along.
Right now I have him in a separate cage
but even though Butch is out of his cage he is ignoring the new guy. I
will try to put them together this evening in the same cage and see
what happens. Hopefully they will get along or, at least, not fight.
Though
you can't see it from the pictures there is a purple cast to the blue
feathers and his cere is a light purple. I was contemplating calling
him "Purp" but don't particularly like that name. Also was thinking
"Sky too" as Butch's first cage mate was called Sky.
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A NAME FOR THE NEW GUY?????
