Meet Alistair!
Alistair lives in the United Kingdom with Amber.
Alistair is only just coming out of a first moult that has lasted an age!
He’s really good for trying new food, finding a huge love of celery and sweetcorn!
He also loves to play with the beads on his swing, as well as almost everything else in his cage… Including his veggies… And the tray I put them on.
Meet Clouds and Sky!
Clouds and Sky live in New Zealand with Dee.
Clouds thinks he is a very important gentleman and therefore should be treated as such. He does not play, does not shred or climb. He would never debase himself by using his swing but he loves talking to it. In fact, talking and singing are the only ways he interacts with objects. 
His recent moult has turned him into a grumpy old curmudgeon… But we are not fooled: underneath all that snootiness he is really just a cute little bird who hasn’t yet seen his first birthday.
Sky, on the other side of the spectrum, has all the cuteness and playfulness of the baby he is. He is a very confident little bird, whose joyful spirit and eagerness to bond are being sorely tested by Clouds’ aloofness at the moment. But we are quite confident that his natural happiness will conquer eventually. 
Sky loves nibbling and climbing. His favourite move is getting stuck between the side of the cage and the feeders.
Meet Athena!
Athena lives in Norway with Annika.
Athena is a violet cobalt, dominant pied, opaline, cinnamon female budgie. She was born right before New Year’s Eve 2014.
Athena likes blueberries…
Yum!
Athena has a blog, so you can check in and see what this sweet as sugar budgie is up to.
Meet Lyta! Lyta lives in Australia with Celyia.
Hi, folks! Thought I’d take a minute to introduce you to the new woman in my life, Lyta. Lyta, why don’t you say hi to these good people?
Do I have to?
Yes. Come on, baby girl. Don’t be shy.
I’m not shy. I’ve just got better thi–
Lyyyyyta! Don’t be rude!
Fine. Fine. Hi.
There we go. Thanks. Hey, I don’t suppose you’d be willing to, I don’t know, look less angry? There’d be some millet in it for you.
No.
Come on? Even just a little? A smile won’t kill you.
No, I am pretty sure it will.
Uh, okay. Um. Oh! I see that you’re starting to grow your tailfeathers out! They look wonderful. I noticed that your tail was really short when you moved in here. Any reason for the change?
It’s just the way I roll. Being out in the wild, man? It’s a whole ‘nother jungle, if you know what I mean. Long feathers just get in the way–
Really? I know you were out there on your own for a while, so there was some concern that something happened to you in the great outdoors.
BAH! Nothing happened. They ain’t called the great outdoors for nothin’, woman.
If that’s true, then where did you lose the tip of your toe?
In the neck of the last person who tried to interview me. Where’s my pay for this gig, anyway? Millet, please.
Of course, of course. I appreciate you taking the time to come talk with us today. Any parting thoughts for our readers?
No. *nom nom nom*
And that’s a wrap! Thank you for reading and have a great day! 
Meet Tweeter!
Tweeter lives in Texas with Kathleen.
Tweeter’s favorite toys are his mirror, swing and ladder. 
Meet Benji!
Benji lives in California with Maevonne.
Benji is a male budgie, about 2.5 years old. He is pretty mellow, loves the camera, chirps and sings, and talks. Benji has a human flock and is very spoiled and sweet. This “Budgie Extraordinaire” even has his own facebook page and YouTube channel!
Benji’s interests include: tossing wiffle balls and bells off his cagetop, nibbling on ropes and strings, trying to climb into the laptop and TV screens, watching and chirping along to basketball games and running water, taking naps with Mom – snoozing all tucked in under her chin, running away when it’s bath time, pole dancing, harassing Perry the Plastic Budgie and eating millet.
Benji in action:
Meet Mallorn!
Mallorn lives by the Rocky Mountains with Gigi. 
She is two years old and her favorite activities are watching movies or distracting me from my work : ). And, she can get really cross with me if I touch her toys or forget to tell her where I’m going. 
She loves eating romaine lettuce and her favorite treat is cheese. Mally enjoys beeping like our microwave and likes to take baths in her water bowl, usually on freezing cold days when bathing doesn’t make sense. 
She adores my violin playing and occasionally practices the art of stealing food! 
When Gordie passed away we received a lovely comment from Kelle. She wrote that she would be adopting an older budgie from a local rescue in Gordie’s honor. And she did! Meet Spencer (on the right, with Faust). 
Spencer moved into his new home around Thanksgiving. He is now all settled and adjusted with budgie siblings Faust, Hulk (below, left), Stephanie (below right) and humans Kelle and John.
Here are the budgies enjoying their Valentine’s Day feast.
How absolutely wonderful that Spencer has found a new family. Thanks to Kelle and John he now has his happily ever after. And what a wonderful tribute to Gordie, as well. Hopefully, Spencer and Gordie will inspire another budgie adoption in the future!
Thank you Kelle, John (and Spencer!) for sharing your story! XOX
Meet Luigi!
Luigi lives with Aluz in Portugal. Luigi’s flock includes lovebird Penguin (who has laid an egg since we last saw “him”)! 
Luigi was my Christmas chick, he hatched on December 27th, 2013.
He has a really sweet temperament, he makes sure to show us how happy he is on a daily basis, his joyfulness is very contagious.
Luigi is a very funny and talented boy, besides having learnt a few words I taught him as well as some others that he picked from my other budgie talker, Leonel, he also knows the lovebird language and mimics my dog’s barking quite well. 
Luigi loves flying and landing on top of my head, his favorite toy is a wooden swing and during out of cage time likes to play with a plastic two-headed dragon.
His favorite treats are spinach leaves, carrot and apple slices.
Luigi and his girlfriend, Goldilocks.
Here is Luigi in action.
Meet Soterion!
Soterion lives in Michigan with Randy.
Soterion’s favorite toy is his buddy Solomon. Soterion is infatuated with him and follows him around everywhere. He is absolutely crazy over anything green in the veggie department, always the first to the fresh greens I give them, and will fight to get his share. I just had a thought, maybe he chases Solomon around because he think’s he is a big green veggie… Lol…
He is also crazy over nutriberries….he is about a year old now : ).
