This is Kabeer. I call him my "honorary rooster" because he starts singing as soon as the sun comes up!
Ric bought him a new cage, and we moved him in yesterday. What do you think?

a cute cage, make sure he isn't chewing on the plastic "house parts", and he needs more perches of differant diameters (manzanita branches are the best), a swing, plus a tassel monster for him to preen...oh and move his feed dishes to where he has a perch in front of them, those dishes are not meant for him to perch on the edge , he's a very pretty yellow pied, and you will find he might mimic some words...

Tina, he has all of the above and more. I took that picture when he was first getting acquainted with the place. Luckily, he isn't a chewer! I should take another picture with all his "furniture" moved in.
I guess I should have mentioned I have been owned by budgies for 25 years...Kabeer himself just turned 9.

Cute rooster! I tell you I won't show this house to any of my roosters outside or they'd be jealous with how fancy your roo has it!

Ohh, Kabeer is such a pretty, pretty spoiled bird! My what a fancy cage! And he's taking to it so quickly!
I know what you mean about singing as soon as the sun is up. I have two Parakeets (Ollie and Mollie) that I adopted a few years ago. Sleeping in is a thing of the past with them....they start calling me the moment it starts to get light outside. If I don't answer them they keep getting louder and louder until I whistle back to them. If that don't work, they fly right in the bedroom. We just upsized them to a bigger cage with a wider door they can fly through a few months ago, and it took them a couple of weeks to get used to it.
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Tina, that is more than okay! I tend to do the same thing!  Maybe that is where Kabeer gets it...he doesn't just mimic, he never shuts up!
When we first showed him a picture of his new house, he sat and thought for a while. About an hour later he blurted, " Oh my gosh, I've got a chimney!" We had to double-check the website, but sure enough--chimney. Notice what he was close to in that picture? Hmmm....
"Normal" pet? What is that? *lol*

Amy, that might be a good idea! Reminds me, his new dishes came today so I can replace these....

Thank you Marilyn, he really seems happy with it!
That is such a keet thing to do! I had best not let Kabeer see that, or he might get ideas. Kid gets up too early as it is!

What a nice cage for Kabeer. 25 years ago I went to a rummage sale and they had parakeets and cockatiels and eggs and some that just hatched. I was so intrigued, they gave me some. I ended up with 13 birds, so we built an aviary in a nook in our house that was wall to wall, ceiling to floor. They loved it, but after about a year, it got to be too much work, so we gave them away and tore down the aviary. I did enjoy it for awhile. Then a few years later, it was 11 turtles!!!! I seem to go overboard, but now I only have one dog and a husband! LOL!!!

See, I have to avoid birds in pet stores for that reason. Every time I see budgies, I want to take every last one home with me! Apparently I don't want A budgie, I want ALL the budgies!
