Rather large for a budgie. I don't think I would risk annoying the bird...just wait until he/she decides it is time to talk ;)
It's first words may not be "Polly want a cracker"
if thats a budgie your side of the border Norm - I'm a staying right here :D
In the immortal words of 'Paul Hogan'
"That's not a budgie..... This is a budgie!!" ;)
my Gran used to tell me that budgerigar means 'good to eat'
from just who's perspective here I wonder :eek:
Both are beautiful birds!
But, when the one on the right finally talks, you really need to listen!
Great photo, Norm!

Your Gran was correct.
Budgerigar is derived from the Aboriginal word: Betcherrygah old aboriginal dialect word meaning "good food."
Though by todays Western diet, would mean "Good snack"
:)
She always had budgies and they were always tame - one would put its head inside your mouth if you repeatedly clicked your tongue - only for the brave mind - sharp beak - if you didn't stop clicking - ouch! ;)
