Bailey is freaking adorable!

Thanks! I love him sooo much; he's my six year old baby. All my pets love him.

My first kitty was great - taught her not to mess with any flappers. My current kitties are a combination of her different personalities, Joan is chilled and Umad is hyper, but they're untrainable, so far. They're only two years old mind you.

I have been lucky, as I have left the bird cage open accidentally a few times. I always put the kitties in my son's room if I go out, and they sleep in there at night too. One day we had been out, kitties were in his room, opened the front door when we got back, and was greeted by the dog and the two budgies wandering in the hallway. I was lucky because they didn't fly out the front door!

Read the Book or Watch the Movie:2cool:

Read a book, although I do love movies.

Speaking of:

Hollywood or Bollywood?

Ah! They're both driving me crazy! They're house cats, on their monthlies together, but too small to get safely spayed. They keep harassing the doggie with too much love. Lol.

They're bonded, groom, play tag, and feed each other. They talk practically non-stop, and very loudly. They're very happy though.

LMAO, kitties!
I love budgies! I had one named Bogie he was very well trained and decent talker as far Parakeets go! I would love to get another bird! yours are beautiful!

They're worse today. Fatty keeps picking on skinny (they're sisters so...), and doggle just looks on not knowing if he should do something - he doesn't. All that is in between them all playing together by running up and down the stairs playing tag. No peace for me today.

I haven't got the budgies to talk yet. I keep trying. I did have a cockatiel before, that talked a lot and whistled songs I taught him. He was lovely until he hit puberty, then he was like a hormonal teen a lot. He loved the dog though - would give him kisses and follow him around.

I think that when Budgies/Parakeets are paired up, they are less likely to connect with their humans and are much less likely to mimic. I say as long as they are happy, who cares! :)

I'd agree with the above. Man, I like birds a great deal, but they're so messy. My kiddo had a couple, and I'd have to say the only useful thing his ferret did (smart, I hear if raised correctly they make great pets and all, buying one from your local PetSmart is probably not ah, indicated) was eat the budgies. I felt sad for the budgies and all, but I must note, it was the ONLY useful thing the ferret ever did. I gifted it to my ex after a while, he likes pets a WHOLE lot more than me (or weird ones, anyway).

Even he only lasted 6 months and wound up gifting the ferret to someone who already had a bunch to socialize it.

Ferrets are not for the faint of heart, and everyone was happier (well, except my kid) once it was gone. I was like, "NO more exotic pets, kiddo!"

It's a lot easier to deal with pets when you don't have a kid running around on top of it. I am getting near to the time that I will adopt my very own puppy. The husband isn't thrilled, but when I told him otherwise it would be FOSTER KIDS, well, that worked. LOL.
