This
is Chomel showing off his new hairdo? Our previous budgie had flown
away and broken our hearts, and we were looking for another budgie. We
found Chomel at a breeder's place, but the breeder had lost interest in
his birds, and they were kept locked up in a dark garage, never seeing
the light of day. We picked Chomel out because he was the smallest, and
when we brought him out into the daylight to take a better look at him,
he looked so sad. He was so skinny, had an overgrown beak, feathers
growing in funny directions, and twisted feet. We thought he looked
rather ugly, but we couldn't bear to leave him behind in those terrible
conditions, so we adopted him, and called him Chomel which means
"pretty" in the Malaysian language. We've had him
for almost six months now, and he's put on weight, his feet are growing
stronger, and we trim his beak regularly, so he's looking half decent
now. He's adorable, very tame, and becoming more lively and cheeky with
time. We love him!
