I thought I'd better just make myself known, especially as I haven't
seen any contributions from the UK in this echo as yet.
I have 9 Budgerigars here, or as you say in the States, "Parakeets".
So before I start chatting about them, can someone please tell me
if Parakeets are a permitted topic in this echo.
Bye For Now,
Derek
 Hi Derek,
  I currently have a Sun Conure but have been reading this echo off and
on for a number of years now. Parakeets or budgies in some circles in
this country. Yes they are permitted in this echo. I've seen
conversations about doves in here. I think just about anything with
wings is fair game. Many years ago when I was a young lad my parents
used to have them all the time. When I got a bit older it was
cockatiels. My oldest cockatiel just passed on a week ago after 17 years
of being amused by his antics. I really miss the little guy. The Sun
Conure thankfully is really trying to fill the void.
