Presenting the fourth & final budgie. I haven't decided on a name quite yet. He's one of @PoukieBear 's former breeder budgies. He just got home & was in his travel carrier when I took these. Now he's in a quarantine cage.

If anyone's within driving distance to Ottawa, I highly recommend getting some of hers as she narrows down her flock. Not only are the birds lovely, but she's just as nice in person as on screen. :) And some of the birds available have some very unusual mixes of colour mutations!

So I've checked. Yes, his tail really is black! He's apparently a single factor dominant pied budgie with the dark factor. Some of the hens she has available now have even more mutations & there's a fallow male.

Barring very unusual circumstances, I really am done. :) I don't have an aviary & need to be mindful of air quality, for everyone's sake. I'm on the hunt for an air purifier.

"Just one more ... what's the harm? It is only a little parakeet."

"Oh no! Now I have an odd number. Better get just one more to even things out."

"Guys ... I might have a budgie addiction. Send help!"

"Or millet."

"Yeah. Just send millet."

Thank you, everyone!

I've decided to stick with his original name, though it only has 2 syllables. Winston. His name will remain Winston, as originally called by @PoukieBear

I had misgivings about renaming a happy bird, but I've also been soundly chastised about considering changing it by a family member who thought it was tantamount to 'trying to erase his identity'. :confused:

Congratulations! Winston is a good name, and I'm sure he would have loved any name you chose.
