Introducing my pet canary Pepe. I received Pepe on my birthday (a long
time ago) as a gift. His former owner no longer wanted him as Pepe was
lonely and depressed when I got him. His best friend had died and he had
stopped singing. All that changed when he arrived at my house and met my
budgie, Feisty. Fiesty had been hand reared by us as soon as she started
looking like a budgie, because she was bullied by the other birds. So
she preferred human company to birds but now she seems happy to have
Pepe around.
Pepe is very sweet and if you offer him food he will eat out of your
hands. On the contrar,y despite his friendliness he doesn't like being
picked up very much anymore. Though he doesn't know any tricks, he will
start singing along if you whistle. He loves it when I open his cage
door and let him flit around in my bedroom. He really enjoys water and
he loves having baths! He normally has canary seed and vegetables but he
loves nachos and if he gets one, he will try to eat every last bite.
He is such a beautiful singer and he sings his heart out. Sometimes he
starts really low then sings higher and higher until the frequency makes
your ears throb. Now he is always singing and is very happy and lively.
