Funny, I THOUGHT

I love English Budgies, I had one for 14 years., and the vocabulary - amazing. so sweet, just a joy. Cora has good examples for her to learn and follow.

People sometimes put them down as being bred to look unnatural when compared to regular budgies, but it's not much different from breeding other birds for special colors like green cheeks and Indian Ringnecks, not to mention dogs. English budgies, especially the ones I have that are bred for showing, are so big, beautiful and sweet. I feel like I rescued mine from just being breeders and now they live a gifted life.

I think English budgies are aristocratic looking. Nice to hear that they have sweet temperaments.

I got mine from a show breeder he was actually too large I guess for show.
He was a beautiful healthy bird, had no health issues was very outgoing and boy could he talk. He made stories, long strings of words he knew lots of fun.
He trained really well, always recalled, loved being handled and his scritches. After him I could not ever have another., or I would have they
are lovely. I do see some that are a bit over the top and wonder about their
health. My parrotlets are a pair that were put together for breeding but
they never produced the breeder wanted them to be kept together so
sold them off. Thats how I got them. He said they are joined at the hip
they are.

Some show budgies are pretty silly looking and you wonder how they can see to fly or even get off the ground with their big bodies but they manage to see well enough. Kinda like sheep dogs. Big Fluffy definitely can't fly like the slim Americans. We call them fighter pilots and Fluffy is a bombardier.
