Meet Perri Blue!
Perri Blue (on the right) lives in North Carolina with Susan, budgies Ellie, Oscar and Tucker, and cockatiels Gracie and Jo Jo.

I kept hinting to my husband that we needed to get a mate for Oscar because he seemed lonely to me. He is in love with our cockatiel Jo Jo but she does not feel the same at all. After going away for 2 nights and my husband caring for the birds, he said, “Oscar needs mate he is lonely.” I tried to get a budgie from http://bird.rescueme.org/Perri Blue now lives with Oscar, Ellie, and Tucker. She is in love with Oscar and follows him everywhere. Oscar likes her most of time but you can tell his heart is still with Jo Jo (the cockatiel) From the beginning Ellie was not happy about another female and she was not very nice to little Perri Blue. Now Perri Blue is the largest budgie in the flock and the most dominant too. It’s a soap opera for sure. We recently bought the new extra-large cage and everyone seems to be much happier. I have 4 of the exact same swing and they all pick one to sleep on at night. I play the same CD at bedtime and as soon as they hear the music they start winding down and find their swing. When Jo Jo hears the music she starts hissing at me because she doesn’t like to go to bed.
Awwww,they are SO cute!
Perri Blue is such a cutie. I’m always happy to see an adopted bird find a mate. Seeing two budgies groom each other is always adorable.
What a great story. Perri Blue is so pretty – I love that she is living happily ever after. So funny about Oscar still carrying a torch for Jo Jo. And I agree with you about the soap opera. Life is never dull with budgies!
Cute that they all have their own swings. Only three of ours sleep on swings. Bedtime is not always easy for us. Emmy likes to chase everyone around. Maybe playing a bedtime CD would help. I’ll have to give that a try : ).
Perri’s friend in the first pic looks a lot like Allen! 😀
