Budgie Fair


 
My daughter is about to turn ten, so we were chatting about what she would like for her birthday, a few weeks previous i had been telling her about our pet budgies when i was a child she was fascinated, and decided she would like a budgie for her birthday.  Nanny wanted to buy the budgie for her and became budgie detective, looking for a breeder over the internet to see if she could find a baby. She came across a few but most babies wouldn't be ready till early next year not great when the birthday is in a few weeks. Through her investigation and chatting to some of the breeders she discovered a show in Stanway Village Hall, the perfect place to introduce Ruby to these feathered beauties. So off we went it was a small affair but a great collection of all types of birds, I fell in love with budgies all over again as did Nanny we found ourselves wondering around with big smiles on our faces cooing and talking to the birds as if they were babies how daft but how exciting. Ruby was a bit overwhelmed but found herself attached to a turquoise spangle budgie, we got chatting to one of the breeders Jem a lovely friendly man, he was telling us that he would have babies available around Jan, Feb time, ok we thought we can wait but then he said pointing to the turquoise spangle if you want one now you can have that one, well Ruby's face lit up this couldn't have been more perfect. We arranged to visit him at home to collect our new budgie. We all were very excited, what did we need a cage to start and all the other bits but really we couldn't wait to collect our bird.
