Didn't see it, sorry, have voted it up and offer a very belated nod to 9:11:13

I once had a budgie called Dave.

I had two budgies called Bobby and Joey. Woke up one morning and Bobby (my sister's budgie) had killed Joey (my budgie). I can't help but feel all would've been well if they were both called Dave. What's that? 'Nobody gives a sh*t Wolf', fair enough, I'll get my coat.

The Wolf

We had a canary we called Arnie because it would stick its wings through the bars and try to prise them apart. Eventually it managed it. We fixed the cage in the hope we could catch him, but he got outside and flew away. Two days later we came in and there he was back in the cage. He'd prised the bars apart to get back in. I guess he didn't find the real world all it was cracked up to be.

I discovered that it is best to wait until a budgie reaches maturity before giving it a name. The way to determine a budgie's sex is by the colour of the cere (the membrane above the beak that contains the nostrils). Until the bird is a year old the cere is purple, but changes colour when it reaches sexual maturity. Blue for a cock, brown for a hen. Dave's cere turned brown so I had to rename him Deirdre. 😃 My grandad bred budgerigars which meant there was always an endless supply of them throughout my childhood and teens. Only had one talker. His name was Bobby and he had quite a repertoire. He'd repeat phrases he heard on a regular basis and would torment the dog by endlessly repeating the words "Where's your lead Sandy?" Fortunately she learnt to ignore it. His sister Billie (originally Billy) was an alcoholic, addicted to my dad's Carlsberg Special Brew that used to collect around the rim of the can which he'd then tilt her way on Friday and Saturday evenings. I think he regretted ever giving her any because she really got a taste for it and would squawk incessantly for more. Strangely enough she lived to be about ten years old, outliving all the others.
