Bluebell the Budgie has us in stitches this week because she does circus tricks hanging upside down on the bottle brush branches to get at the flowers. But often she falls off (yes, we are unfeeling. But it is funny). And oh, yes, moody. Sometimes this week she has let us stroke her and hold her, and other times she screeches at us like we are collectively, the devil incarnate. Hormones?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-229254693052232172014-12-05T16:58:41.093+11:002014-12-05T16:58:41.093+11:00We have two beautiful budgies in our household and...We have two beautiful budgies in our household and our blue one looks exactly like yours in the photo! They could be long lost cousins! We've had our birds for a year now and perhaps we're terrible people but the birds still hate coming out of their cage and definitely won't sit on our finger... although one will reluctantly sit on a hand held perch. I would never have believed how moody budgies are, but maybe it's because the birds are both female, and I live in a house full of boys and a man!Kristen Johnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196960354882716910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-72021735111653990562014-12-02T12:33:37.222+11:002014-12-02T12:33:37.222+11:00Dar, Benson is about the first dog I have ever rea...Dar, Benson is about the first dog I have ever really liked, maybe because he is mine:)<br />Fran, the fact that enson is not racing around shredding everything in sight is SUCH a relief! The Christmas tree is up and he hasn't even looked at it! Milo the top cat has Benson right where he wants him. Suitably cowed. Benson runs away whenever he sees him, and Milo the tiny tabby cat knows that is just what nature intended.<br />Evi, these life changes are so tricky. Change is something I am generally dragged kicking and screaming towards.. but always grateful for afterwards. All the best:)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-408707578280232282014-12-02T10:10:24.588+11:002014-12-02T10:10:24.588+11:00I have been enjoying your thoughts lately - especi...I have been enjoying your thoughts lately - especially 'Here Be Dragons' - I can truly relate to that one although for me its not The Break and singledom thats doing my head in, rather my own new found sense of purpose, the growing independence of my remaining children and the mid life crisis of my Man. <br />And then today, I'm chuckling over your new menagerie….including parents!!! You are a hoot! <br />Thanks for lightening my day!!!

The fact that he is laying and not shredding is a very good sign. Glad to see you have your parents under control. Unlike budgies and dogs they tend to think that they can run amok and are seriously unpredictable things. Hopefully Benson will learn to love his cat overlords or at least ignore them (like Bezial) and we won't talk about Earl and cats (lips buttoned!)

I hope your parents enjoy their visit and are appropriately toilet trained because that's probably all you want in life right now? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605358521258969537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-6018069228681293682014-12-01T19:56:31.660+11:002014-12-01T19:56:31.660+11:00I hope you enjoy Benson for a very long time.
