The last Quater - Oct to Dec 2008 Laker our 1st Budgie  passed away just this September unknown causes & very sudden - he is missed. Rio - life goes on even when you're suddenly the only Budgie! Finally he is paying attention to the humans & slowly we are breaking into his world. Getting a new Budgie is harder than it looks. I have been searching the shelters & have contacted a few breeders.  I imagine the problem is that we are replacing an exceptional individual & I personally am having a problem with it.  There is a white/gray Recessive Pied Budgie at a local pet store that I might pick up - he's been in there for some time. Rio is doing really well. He is learning to be a really tame Budgie.  He is so lonely though & we are pretty sad for him.  If he'd been a lone Budgie at the beginning he would have been talking I'm sure of it.  He's such a smart one & so assertive. When I did this video - we were trying to get him to come.  He does this very well.  As I edited the video he could hear me & himself so he kept coming back into the office over & over.  He was pretty tired that night!                              The latest thing he does is preen me whenever he can - which includes climbing down my bangs & working on my cheeks & my eyelashes. Rio is getting better every day, now he is on his own.  He still does not like step-up but he is improving.
