I'm about to leave my beloved budgies, all 19 of them (except Baby Joey is coming with us) for 5 long days! Our twice a day bird sitter is terrific and 10 of them will still be free to fly around the room (the main living area of my house. Bird safe) all day unsupervised, but they will miss us. They think we're just big budgies and members of the flock. We will worry and miss them so much but family duty calls. Let's just hope they don't think we've abaondoned them and that they don't make too much of a mess of my house.
To the tune of Winter Wonderland,
For Baby Joey and my whole flock of budgies:
Budgies sing, are you listening?
On the floor. Poop is glistening
A beautiful sight, happy tonight Walking round with budgies in my hair
All around are my cute birds
Here to stay is a new bird
Joey's her name
She's more than just tame
Watching all the budgies in my hair
The windowsill is where they watch the snow fall
It looks like feathers falling in the night
Baby Joey watches from my shoulder
Looking out the window at the Christmas lights
Later on if they wanna
They will all take a shower
Splashing with joy
Waters a toy!
The kitchen sink's a budgie Wonderland
Zooming round, fighter pilots dropping "bombs" all around us
Making a mess, but they're just the best
Walking round with budgies in my hair!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from the woods of Maine
