They are nice, they are small, they come in endless phantastic colours, and they are great personalities!
I have been keeping them for many years, and unfortunately the older generation is passing away these years. I still have 2 which are between 5 and 10, and I was thinking about not having any more. But, "Lelenc" showed up in a mysterious way, and he declared that he definitely wants to stay with us. He could not play too much with the oldies, so I bought him a young mate. So came "Ildike". But "she" turned out to be a boy, too... So, again, new birds came: I decided to buy two girls to give company to the boys. :o)
The new girls are yellow headed blue opalins (I think...) , look like twins at the moment. Thanks to their breeder, Balázs Fodor!
This is "New Bird Nr 1.". (Sorry, no approppriate names yet... )
She is "New Bird Nr. 2":
The girls getting sleepy in the evening:
The two new girls again, but our "old lady" showed up, too. She is on the left. At the moment, she is the only bird which was "born" here, so I know almost every minute of her life... She is near 10 years old, and always have been a bit overweighed. So, flying is not her main activity... I just love her colour, maybe that is why I chose our new "twins". :o)
This is "Lelenc". He spent some time "in the streets", but he is so tame, he wanted to join me on his own mind. I don't know exactly how old he can be, but I am sure he is still young. He is the only bird which is willing to sit on my hand, and "runs" to me every time I appear.
This is "Ildike". Everybody thought first that he was a girl (that's why the name...), but he isn't. He is the smallest (and youngest) of them all. Also the shiest but the most playful. He brings fun to the life of his company. You can find him near a toy always...
"Ildike" having some fun before going to sleep. (Does he ever sleep?!?)
This is our "old gentleman", a really huge show budgie in colour "grey":
This is how the lower part of the cage looked this evening: "Old lady" is about to leave the feeder, and "Lelenc" wants to be the next to have some snack before going to sleep:
