On the way home from Etsy the other day I stopped in a pet store. I didn't realize when I went in that I would be leaving with a sweet baby budgie (called parakeets in the US, but they are originally from Australia where they are called budgerigars). I picked the littlest, feistiest, cutest one. He is solid yellow — a beautiful variety of budgie called a Lutino.  By the way — spontanious pet buying worked out well for me, but it isn't recomended by the experts.  I had actually been pondering for a long time which pet might be best for me.   

Since that day, he has been the light of my life! He sings every morning and evening, he has learned to hop onto my finger and he loves to fly around the house.  He has upgraded to a large cage and he has lots of fun toys to play with — including a fake plastic budgie. I felt kinda bad after noticing that he fell in love with a plastic budgie idol, so I bought another budgie! They are now known as Elvis and Pricilla, and are just in the getting-to-know-you stage. Pricilla is a white Budgie with turquoise spots.    

Naturally my newfound interest in budgies lead me to search the subject on Etsy. There quite a few lovely budgie crafts, and some beautiful paintings of budgies. There are also some great handmade bird toys. Wyspurcreations makes all kinds of shiny, chewy, swinging things for a bird's delight! She has designed different toys for a variety of birds, from large parrot chew toys to swings for tiny budgies.
