Amerillo
is a very delightful pet to have around. A lot of people dismiss
budgies as 'boring' but once you get to know them they're wonderful! She
always wants to be with the bigger birds (my Cockatiels Peeper and
Skeeter) and steals their food and perches!
She is quite smart, knows how to flutter up and down the stairs and follow
people around! Sometimes Amerillo can be very annoying, as she imitates
the cockatiels' calls very loudly. She is a bit of a piggie, if I give her
a bit of food she always wants more till she's about to explode.
When she gets into an attitude it is quite amusing. She bites harder than
both larger birds combined and likes to throw little objects everywhere or
rip toys to shreds. It's like a toddler throwing a tantrum.
Something I love about her is she doesn't get angry or ticked off if you
don't play with her one day. She sings her lovely mangled-sounding bird
noises, and keeps singing even if she's been stuck in her cage bored all
day. I love her very much!
