New Budgie   New Cage   New Perch/Playgym  2009  Our New Budgie     RainBow    hatch date November 11th, 2008 A breeder has said he feels Bow is a: Yellow face type 2, Sky blue, Dutch Pied Opaline.   This is Bow's father and Bow when he was 1 month old.        Bow came from a breeder in Oshawa - North East of Toronto. She really took her time with him - He is wonderfully tame & loving. In fact you can hardly go anywhere without him. We are very happy with this little fellow.  Rio is in shock I think. He's been alone since the end of September. Rio is pretty jealous - wants our attention all the time. He'll sit on my shoulder & pull my hair with one foot & then give me kisses when I turn my head. I'm sure once Bow is mature they will be friends. Bow is very quiet - Rio is even louder now he has competition. Forgot to mention our new cage.  We got a Vision L11. Right now Rio has the new cage to sleep in.  Soon we hope to have both birds in it at night - that is the reason behind buying such a big cage.  All day both birds are out and about. I put the cage feeders on top of the cage for the day - they are really nice feeders.  At night though - we use the  old bucket types and have them by the perches.  Our Budgies like to snack at night & early in the morning. Rio likes to wander on the bottom grate & look out of the plexi-glass.   The New Play Gym I harvested some Mulberry branches this fall & finally got a new perch made.   New Update Bow is fitting in really well.  Rio & he are already friends. We bought a few chew toys & new foods recently Here are a few things on top of the cage. The cage is under constant redecorating.     For the past 3 days Bow has been inside almost all day - playing & preening & loving the cage.  But still uses his small cage at night - we are hopeful they will be together soon. Bow loves my husband - always climbing all over him. Here the 2 lads are enjoying their new chew toys.   Bow enjoys foraging He & Rio love this coconut shell - lots of frustration is released on its surface. LOL Bow has 3 dots on his right beard & 1/2 of one on his left side. He is just now 3 months old & just starting his juvenile molt.   Bow has been helping me wash up in the mornings. He will even hop on my hand & drink from the faucet. Afterward he tried out this small bowl.  It was so sweet.  No repeats so far.
