Big Budgie Posting :)

These are the other five. (No 6 has been a small yellow bird which was rather old and has died some years ago.)

From left to right:

Winnie (blue with yellow head, male) - was No 5 and we got him in Hamburg, because his owners didn't want to keep him anymore.

Motzel (green and yellow, male) - was No 1, and got his name ("grumbler") because he was totally grumpy when they caught him for transport at the pet shop. He's the loudest of all and not as angsty as some of the others.

Snowie (white, female) - was No 3 and we got her as a very young bird from a nearby budgie breeder with outdoor aviary, which I had met via a net forum.

Fraeulein (grey, female) - was No 2 and is rather angsty when it comes to human contact. Motzel was rather tame before she came, sigh. But in a swarm, if one starts flying, usually the others follow.

Idle (blue) - was No 4 and we called him Idle because he chirped only about once every ten minutes ;) which sounded like an anti-idle-ping (necessary in some chats, or you will be kicked for being idle aka silent). Idle's gender isn't all that clear - we thought he was male, but the skin above his pecker isn't really blue. This might be some hormone dysfunction - he has a rather big belly, maybe an adipoma. But he's obviously in good health and, well, idling ;)

And that's their home, self-made by yours truly (and with certain bugs of a typical first-time-experiment):

Wow, is that in your house? Like the living room? I want one. drool

Normally, this would be the living-room, but we rearranged the rooms when moving in, so the living-room is upstairs (where the parental sleeping-room usually is) and this is the office on the ground floor. If you turned right by 100°, you would face two large office tables and the panorama window to the back garden.

(Maybe I'll shoot some more pics of the office, when it's finally cleaned ;)
