Will, that is the gayest cage I've ever seen! Don't be surprised if he starts quoting "Carry On" films!

I'm curious whether a Budgie would be trainable in the same way a cat is i.e. work out where they like to shit, then put the litter tray there, then move the litter tray to where you want them to shit, and hey presto, one cat shitting in the right spot (well actually the right spot would be next door's garden, but that's harder to wangle).

Incidentally, it's hard to get a good photo of anything behind a cage, especially when the camera auto focuses on the cage itself.

yeah, it's a screy cage indeed...

you half expect Sylvester to come along...

That cage hurts my eyes, did they not have any unpainted ones? Does it really say £24 in the corner?

My budgie would fly to my hand when i held it up. Still shat everywhere though.

Been to the vet today. Clean bill of health! Relieved

Yay! Now if he dies we can hold you 100% responsible!

Glad he's ok, and hurrah for you for looking after him so well.

Facebook didn't seem to like the name Captain Cheepy (thought it was fake for some reason ???)

You can find him under the alias Bud Budgie.

Budgie themed UKB t now please.
Good effort Will with the looking after and metrosexualization of your new avian companion; I'm sure the cage will lead you both to be very comfortable with your sexualities.

Will Hunt · August 12, 2009, 12:03:02 am

Started taming him today. Within ten minutes he was sat on my finger

SA Chris · August 12, 2009, 05:42:07 am

In 11 minutes he shat on your finger?

MJ said the same thing in '85 about Bubbles, darling.

Shouldn't he by rights be on Twitter?

nice one...

when I was about 3-4 - we had a budgie and he'd kiss me on the lips, I'd gently tap my knuckle on the floor and he'd chase after it - this led to him running up my dads trouser leg (after he dozed off) and pulling the hairs on his legs...he even flew onto an open window ledge and sat watching the world - then flew back into his cage...the poor thing also fell into a chip pan! but the lard was cold but he was covered...

my mum got anotherone when I was in my late teens but it was a little twat that wouldn't do anything except squawk all day...

I just lol'd in quite a quiet office. Congrats.

Will Hunt · August 15, 2009, 11:52:45 pm

First time out of his cage!

Bubba · August 16, 2009, 12:05:44 am

Bless! The Cap'n is the man!

btw what's the FB group called, couldn't find it?

And only the third time out for the bird!

SA Chris · August 16, 2009, 01:11:48 pm

^ nice

I don't believe that is student accomodation. Too much undrunk alcohol, and it's not all cheap shit.

He has his own profile, rather than a group, Bud Budgie is his name.

Look at your wee excited face, Will, so cute!

Ha ha ha. That's exactly what I was just thinking.

SA Chris · August 18, 2009, 04:24:31 pm

Laphroig? Probably drunk with coke from a plastic tumbler. I weep.

Can't find the thread, but I thought Will posted that he'd recently secured post-graduate employment status, perhaps with a water company?

Will Hunt · August 18, 2009, 04:39:40 pm

Mid-graduate employment, Slacks. Year in Industry and all that.

Actually when I sup on my Laphroig I tend to do it out of one of these:

Click for more info. Its in the Vinum range.

Its difficult to determine sex when they're only 8 weeks old but we think she's a girl. She is currently called Edi but this may change to Eddy if the cere turns blue!

We're just one big happy family

(I have more than one pullover but just choose not to share them with UKB)
