TINY!

everyone please meet Tiny.

well yeah i kept his kind before, but all died. one died when he choked on his food, another died because of a fungal infection tt couldnt be cured and e last flew away, i guess too saddened to see e other two die. You see, father birdy and momma bird had a kid, father bird died and the son died due to e fungal infection. and mom couldnt take it no longer and flew away.

but that was years ago.

Now there's Tiny, im just gonna keep him alone, with me.
He's not 4 months old, can tell by his/her black beak. i cant sex him/her cos its cere (fleshy part above the beak) is still pink. As he/she grows older only then can i tell if it is a male (cere will turn blue) or a female (stays pink or any other colour like brown)

anyway went to the bird shop in serangoon, goodwill, and saw three trays filled with little baby birds ahha... so cute... but some were being tampled upon :S they came in many colours, yellows, greens, albinos, violets (1 left), greys (rare) and a light blue guy.... which was tiny.

this little fellow came up to me and peered me with one eye and hoped onto my finger the moment i put my hand into e tray hehe... so he was e one chosen. e auntie kept pointing to me e violet one but i found its character rather.... em... dull... just sitting there like some of e rest.

there were many hyper active ones running around and pecking the others. But Tiny had this charm about him... he didnt mind the pecking he just continued to stare me straight in the eye.

so what if he isnt an english budgie, he's just a plain ordinary joe budgie that has a great character. english budgies are bigger cousins of the south american budgies.
truth is, i've never seen such a blue on a budgie before, so light, almost cyan.... baby blue with grey pied wings.

right now tiny is asleep beside my laptop. i've learnt a few things bout him just in a few hours, he likes being rubbed under his cheeks, he's well rather tame i have to say. doesnt fly around much and loves to bob his head around hehe...
