I wish that people had to take classes or have documented hours before being allowed to adopt any pet. Soemthing. So many people never realize what goes into having pets.

I'll admit that I've made many mistakes, but i was a kid. I was pretty much on my own for learning how to take care of pets properly. Growing up in the 80's I didn't have the internet to look up information. I had to rely on the library.

Now i know better about a lot of things, but i do still retain all the stuff I've done right.

I can at least say that my budgies never lacked in peaceful loving attention from me.

Yay! Extra snuggles from me! Thank you. Would you also chirp at the budgies for me please? (The budgies in the stores seem to love it when i stand there calmly and twitter with them.)

Thank you for your kind words!

I truly hope that your life will turn around favorably to have one, as your post tells me there would be a very blessed budgie!!

In the meantime I will happily give all our fosters and our own budgies an extra snuggle and kiss for you ok?
