Hello Parrot Friends!
I became a first time budgie mom about a month ago. My little girl’s name is Cosette or “Cozy” for short. She is a beautiful periwinkle and white budgie with light grey stripes. She has big sweet black eyes; I love looking into them as I talk to her and try to teach her things. It’s amazing.
My whole life I was never really a bird person. I had a not-so-good experience as a child with a family parakeet who was less than friendly. Because of that, I have been uncomfortable around birds, until recently.
My husband and I have being going through a very rough time with health issues. Over the last few months, I kept telling my husband how I wish I had a pet during this time to help me with my stress and anxiety levels. Surprisingly, my husband suggested a budgie. I wrote him off the first couple times he mentioned it because of my past experience. He was fortunate enough to have a great pet budgie growing up. However, since the pandemic started, I have gotten into bird watching, of all things! I fell in love with them!! We put a feeder on our window so I could watch them all day. They brought me a lot of joy during very uncertain times. After my husband pointed this out, I decided to give the whole budgie suggestion some serious thought. A couple months later, and here we are with our Cozy! We love her so much. I enjoy caring for her, entertaining her and trying to get her to eat new fruits and veggies (steady as she goes, lol!)
I’m so glad I found this community of bird parents. The non-judge mental advice and welcoming spirits of this forum’s members have been comforting and enlightening. So, thanks for having me (or should I say “us”). Looking forward to the many conversations to come and birdie stories to share.
