It was love at first site, when I woke up one morning and saw this photo posted on facebook..
I thought to myself wow, this budgie is the most beautiful little thing I've ever seen, and I took a long drive to the shop where her photo was posted. I knew it was impractical for me to get another pet, as I already had three, I live in a very small apartment, and didn't have the room, money, I knew she would be loud etc.. lots of different reasons why I shouldn't bring home another pet. But there was just something about that little bird, that I couldn't say no too.. My partner was with me, and agreed she was gorgeous, but another pet would just be too hard, so we left.. After driving for about 20 minutes, I was very quiet in the car. I was imagining that instead I had brought her home, and even decided I would name her Mini if I could have her, because she was so tiny. Suddenly my partner stopped the car and turned it around. He said "Ok, I'm probably stupid, but I'm buying her for you.". I got so excited I felt like jumping out of my skin and told him I had picked out a name already for the pet we didn't even own.. We went back to the shop and my partner spent over $500 on a beautiful big cage, a little play gym toys, food and of course Mini. The lady at the register looked at the big cage and had a big smile on her face while she said "That is one lucky budgie!"
On the way home, I stared at her inside her little box all the way. She was just so gorgeous! And in the coming weeks, my friends came to meet her and all complimented that she was the most beautiful budgie they'd ever seen.
Her little personality grew and grew, she was cheeky as EVER and so so bossy. She would be sitting on my shoulder and god forbid I talk when she wouldn't want me too, she'd make her little annoyed sound and nip me on the mouth to tell me to be quiet lol.
She was obsessed with Audrey, my eclectus, and often forgot she was a tiny little bird, she'd boss Audrey around (and for some reason Audrey would do as she said lol!) and she followed her around like a bad smell. She was a little talker, every day muttering away to her little mirror. She mimicked all the sounds of the birds outside, her bell, kisses, and some words as well.
I sent myself broke buying her toys (And her big sister too of course) and she loved them all. By the end of it, her cage was filled with so many different toys and she loved them all. All day she would be attacking them, singing to them, sleeping on them, chewing them, talking to them, kissing them lol.. She was just such a cutie, so active and never stopped jumping around.
She had this gorgeous little habit of jumping up onto the side of the cage anytime I went outside and kissing me. I'd bend down and give her kisses and she'd give me soft pecks and make little kissing sounds. She LOVED kisses. It was like she just had to stop whatever she wad doing when she saw me, and come bounding over for a kiss. She made me smile every single day, and I would always just comment on how gorgeous she is and how much I loved her and how she was such a little feisty girl. She was a member of the family. The smallest member, but loved like she was just as big as us.
Sadly today, for whatever reason I can not guess, her life had to come to an end. After a tragic accident this morning, I was still in bed at the time, my partner came running into my room, freaking out yelling mini's hurt, mini's badly hurt. I sat up and looked at her and right away I just knew there wasn't anything more to do. I grabbed her and held her close to my face and gave her little kisses as she calmed down and within a few seconds was gone. I held her little lifeless body for probably an hour just crying and crying. My parents told me to bring her over and we had a little funeral for her, and left some flowers on her grave. There were many many tears from all of us. My parents knew how much I loved my birds, as I always talked about them, showed them videos and pictures etc. They said that even though her life was so short, she was probably one of the luckiest budgies alive because she was so spoilt with love.
It's amazing how such a tiny little creature can absolutely shatter your heart. Rest in peace Mini, you were so very very loved and you will be dearly missed, I don't know what I will do without my daily Mini kisses now.
