Artemis!

[kc_y0]

So today I got an early birthday present...

Meet Artemis, or Art for short

He looks so lost in his cage lol, no toys at the moment, they'll be added when he's less clumsy and can climb around lol. And I have some better perches on the way too!

Welcome home little guy.

NAAAWWWW!!!!! Art(emis) is GORGEOUS!!!! Many, many congrats, Casey! I can literally see you smiling from one ear to the next.

So happy he found you. How old is your new baby???

 

[Betrisher]

What a *pretty* little guy! He's going to be Quite Some Bird when he grows up, I can just tell. I'm so glad he's come home to you - he'll help you keep Mini's memory alive in the nicest way.

What a great name and well, he's exquisite! What beautiful sky and cloud hues he has. How old is he?

 

[kc_y0]

Thank you so much everyone! He's just ADORABLE! So different to Mini in personality, though I know hes still very shy and not out of his shell, he's just so calm and relaxed, and happy to sit with you and snuggle for so long! Where as Mini was a live wire and could not sit still for a second lol! He is still curious though, but he seeks me out for comfort which I think is ADORABLE xD Mini was only hand tame I think, so I think thats the big difference in personality, because this little guy was hand raised from the beginning.

I'm not sure on his age, I asked the guy before so I'll see what he says, but he's around the 6-8 week mark

Great point, kc_y0. They ARE very different when they are hand raised vs hand tamed. Trixie was hand tamed and is a firecracker. Sunny was hand raised. Even now that he's 10 months old, he's still a total cuddle bug. I'm so happy for you, congratulations!

Thanks everyone! The man who sold him told me he was 8 weeks old! So cuteeee ahhhh.

We need more of the Artsy cuteness....pretty please....with Artemis on top?

 

[Mayden]

Wow. He looks just like my Wonsy woo did. What a beautiful bird you have there. Congratulations on your new addition!

&don't worry if you do start to compare slightly. As long as you still appreciate Art for the individual he is. I'm sure he'll still manage to remind you on Mini too though

What a cute guy. Love to see updates as he settles in!

 

[PetoftheDay]

What a cutie! Welcome to a good home, Artemis!

 

[kc_y0]

Thanks heaps guys! He is so cute! Feeling a little scared today, poor baby. I have called him Mini a few times which makes me upset! But I guess its a common mistake to make when you have had someone in your home for so long!

Few new pics! Getting his cage set up a lot better now YAY! Just need to replace those dowels with nice long natural perches!
I'm so happy with his cage though, nice and spacious. Its actually a bit taller then Mini's. Same in every other way though, so I'm loving the extra space up the top!

What a gorgeous little budgie Congrats!

 

[crimson]

kc he is the sweetest little thing!...I burst out laughing when I saw the wee little one in that giant cage. In time he'll enjoy all that space!

congratulations kc, he'll be just fine with you.

 

[kc_y0]

Thanks guys! I know he looks so tiny in his big cage, but he will love it once he gets the hang of climbing around haha

 

[JerseyWendy]

WOW, Art sure has his own castle. What an awesome cage!!! And boy is he SO darn pretty and sweet!!!!!

 

[ruffledfeathers]

Happy Early Birthday. Artemis is a wonderful gift!!! Adorable.

 

[kc_y0]

Thanks guys! He is super lucky I must say, but so is any pet that gets to live with me LOL! They always get massively spoilt! Hehe
