Gorgeous Budgies!

I received a Whatsapp message from Ling Ling at 1.18pm - "Hi Dan, r u still interested in budgie baby? I got four. Three weeks earlier I had initiated contact with her after I read her post in an online site. Unfortunately the budgies had already been sold.

I hesitated to reply but minutes later i got this pic! That's it! I gotta have them.

After a flurry of messages I told Nicole to get ready to head out. She had no idea where we were heading to.

We arrived at the residence around 2pm and were greeted by Ling Ling and her kids, Chloe (she is eight and totally into animals) and Matthew. Lined on both sides of the home were kennels and bird cages. We were in paradise.

We played with the four baby budgies and Chloe's own adult budgie named Junior which incidentally shared her birthday.

So after a lapse of 45 years I am once again in touch with budgies. Why? My late father had over a dozen budgies up until his death in 1969. Sadly his birds eventually died after his passing due to lack of care. I was six then and looking back we had other critical issues to deal with.
