Today we welcomed an 8th bird into our home. She’s a beautiful white and blue budgie whose family was going to be traveling alot in the future and wanted her to come to a good home. She doesn’t have a name yet, we want to get to know her better. So far things with her and my other budgies have been tense, she’s a bit pushy and aggressive and a little bit on the wild side. I’m sure she’ll quickly learn the pecking order.
In other bird news…. Monet our other new parakeet moved into her new cage today. My dad built her a cage that allows for her handicap. Monet is going to loose her left foot due to a circulatory problem despite our best attempts to treat the foot. The new cage has a combination of perches and platforms with ladders going from top to bottom. Birds are very adaptable animals and we have every expectation that she will recover and fully adjust. Things are still a little uncertain, if the foot gets infected we could still loose him. At the moment the good part of the foot is healing very well and the dead toes are clean. We continue to hope for the best.
