Very cute fluff! She is the smallest budgie I've ever seen!

The video is in Afrikaans, but English and Afrikaans subtitles are available.

I don't think anyone is even using Afrikaans subtitles lol I was just bored so I decided to add them too.

I love that there are English subtitles, though!

How cool - I just looked at the title and I realized that her name rhymes with "budgie" in Afrikaans

Gertjie reminds me so much of Jeff... idk why...

SHE IS A DERP

I think quarantine is useless, because they are constantly exposed to the same things. Any advice?

 

[BirdyBee]

I have decided against isolation. She has already settled in. And as said, they are exposed to the same things. I clean the one bird's cage, then I clean the other, I feed the one bird, then feed the other... they get exposed to the same germs.

She is beautiful! Congratulations!

Little worried about stains above nares...but not sure with female in hormonal stage and if its normal to have some of the brown crusting stain?

I think she is a doll. That crest! Her sweet face.

I was also worried about the stains as they look quite severe. She also has a slight tail bob. I asked my mom if she can see a vet, and she said that when I start treating my flock with fungal medications, I will have to treat her too(Sunny has fungal infection so it's almost guaranteed that the rest of my flock is infected)

Gertjie is a great addition to the flock, she is so sweet! She even sleeps on you

Sleepy birb

Very tame bird! You have a lucky find.

Sad news guys:

Gertjie is dead

There is no easy way to say this... Gertjie passed away. I uncovered her cage this morning, expecting some greetings from her, but in return, I got nothing. Just her cold, dead body at the bottom of the cage. I don't know how. I don't know why. I am beyond devastated. The short time spent by me...
