Rescue Visit

[Sodapop&Co.]

It's tough, isn't it? The first time you visit a rescue like that. It was so overwhelming for me during my first visit. I took notes! Lol!

It took me several weeks to narrow down to one bird. You'll keep ruminating about it, and then you will decide. Taking your time is OK!

Hurray!!!! I love a happy ending

Congrats and thanks for taking both Oggie and Opie.

MC bit me twice...... both times were while I carried him close to Secret's cage. This was in the early days. I think back and realize what I did to get bit.

Why are all the rescue birds name Opie, though?!

I am soooooo happy for you and your flock... My story with Inca is similar... I just bumped into him at a pet shop I never visited before and my heart melted... Inca didn't have any name before, but he started uttering 'Inca' within two days of homecoming... He's our precious baby now. You did the right thing to bring them both... Waiting for more updates.

@Kassiani , plz answer it.. LOL

 

[Elysian]

I tell you though, Cypress and Citrine are getting SO much loving tomorrow.

They might not like to be held but I've never been more appreciative that they will step up and let me take them in and out of their cage without fearing for either their life or mine!

On your two new family members @Elysian

I sincerely hope you don’t need too many more bandaids!
You’re awesome for choosing the birds you chose and even more awesome for committing to both of them even after being bitten by one of them

Well, I'm happy we both have an Opie!

But....in the interest of full disclosure, *I* named my boy Opie He came with the name Rocky--and I didn't like it. Plus, my boy has red 'hair', and he's originally from North Carolina. So Opie seemed appropriate! Lol!

Whoops, I remember that now!
I thought of your Opie when I saw my Opie at the rescue.

I don't really like it for my dude, but I'm not sure about changing it. He matches Oggie and Oggie's name fits him just fine.

 

[Kassiani]

Maybe think of something that sounds similar if you'd like? That's why I settled on Opie. It had two syllables and still ended with the 'ee' sound.

 

[Kassiani]

Oh, and just to let you know a bit about 'my' Opie, he won't step up or let me touch him. He will step up on a rope perch, but not my arm or hand. I can't scratch his head--but I can't scratch the budgies heads, either, lol!

 

[finchly]

but they are both at my house now.

I knew it!!!! Yay.

I didn’t like Ernie’s name but they told me not to change it. Now I change names— Sunshine still says her old name tho.

Am curious, how does he advice you? I just love his grumpy look.

He goes down my arm and studies what I’ve done, turning his head. Looks exactly like he’s critiquing.
Ill try to find a video.

How's Opie doing? I saw his tail feathers coming, hope he'll leave them alone...

 

[Camsan]

Excited for you, Opie and Oggie!

Congratulations on adopting Opie and Oggie! It’s so heartwarming that they got adopted together, you’re an angel.

Can’t wait to hear more about them in the coming months!
