🐦Bird 🐦Therapy🐦

Just love birds and butterflies and gardens. The birds bring me hope and company when lonely. They are always near. Their morning song brings the greatest joy to my soul. Their flight is wondrous, their calls and tending to their young and work in communion - brings me hope, life purpose and joy.

Oh how o wish I could fly ☺

Oh so beautiful @Shaz51 - I was actually thinking of adopting as opposed to buying babies. Not sure if thats wise?

Hi @Camamile, (pretty name), I've only had these birds a few months. I like Bourke's & Finches (separated) because they are quieter but still have a soft song. @Adge is the real expert here But, I think for a first bird, a young blue male budgie is fine. Although Cockatiels are lovely too, @Bubbles3 has one. Good luck, nice to o see you here 🐦🎄🐦

Hi @Former-Member I've been keeping birds in WA for 23 years.

It started before that, as a teenager (mid-1980's), so that's about 35 years altogether.

It depends a lot on your preferences, & what birds you're attracted to.

When a teenager, I started with Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Rosellas, Cockatiels, Budgies, Peachfaces, & Zebra finches.

In the last few decades I've kept most finches & Canaries.

Although I still can't resist Cockatiels, Peachfaces & Budgies. I got my first ever Bourke parrots several years ago, & they're lovely.

Hello @Bubbles3, @BambiFawn, @Adge, @Bunniekins, @utopia, @Shaz51, @Maggie, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Camomile, and passersby. Forgot about this thread since i had to gave away my birds last December.
Miss them, but here @my parents i feed the wild birds for mum 3pm daily. Mostly turtle doves (lovely) & a few rainbow parrots - so it all helps. Love it in mum's garden out back.

How are you all? And all your feather babies / wildbirds / birdwatching going?? Any new birds lately? I spotted a kingfisher the other day - pretty colour ❤

Re: 🐦Bird 🐦Therapy🐦

Yes, sad that you had to give your birds away @Former-Member

Feeding wild birds, nice...

I brought home 2 lovely orange canaries that needed a home last weekend (I bought them).

Budgies are about 13 (last count), from unexpected happy breeding...

I caught 4 of them on Anzac Day, & brought them inside to go in Rainbow Peachface's empty cage (very sad).

They seem happy there.
