Some of you may know about how I wanted a budgie so that Perry wouldn't go insane. I had to find a budgie that wasn't from Petsmart or Petco, and from a breeder that was reputable. The internet didn't help me much.
Yesterday I found what I was looking for.
After ice skating, we were driving and saw a garage sale.
That also had parrots.
We stopped by and browsed the items. I was more interested in the birds, though. Budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, IRNs, and more. The breeder was licensed, and very knowledgeable. The cages were clean, and the birds were healthy.
Immediately I found the perfect budgie. A purple English/American mix, male, and very sweet.
His name is Duke. We named him in honor of Duke the budgie, one of my heroes. He is very happy with us and Perry. Perry looks happy for the first time since Lemonlime's passing. Duke has learned more in his first ten minutes with us than Perry learned in ten weeks. It's like a blessing to us.
