Aww the Beckys are such cute hot henz!
I saw a cousin of the Beckys out in Vegas today. Her name was Becky, too! I was visiting some bird stores there because we have no bird stores in Maine and I missed my birds and needed a bird fix. There were some Beckys in a wire cage with a wire floor grate over a plastic tray bottom. One of the Beckys was trapped between the grate and the tray, running around in the two inch high space trying to get back into the cage but couldn't find her way out. I called over the Senorita who was cleaning the cages and pointed out poor Becky's plight. She pulled out the tray and gently got her hand around Becky, pulled her out and put her back in the cage wirh her sister, Becky. Apparently she had found a broken wire and crawled through the opening only to be trapped below. Becky was fine.
I met a lot of really nice parrots at the stores I visited, including a beautiful grey who seemed very interested in me, a goffins cockatoo who just wanted her head, neck, and wingpits scratched, countless GCs, including two one month old babies, several plum headed parakeets, a few macaws that competed for my attention, and a whole bunch of budgies. Nice birds well taken care (eating a delicious chop) at very clean shops. Now I just want to go home to my kids!
 
Donna, that is amazing! Maybe BECKY is the Cosmic Karmic name for single/spinster zebra hens. I, too, love to visit well-managed bird stores, but if I happen upon a bad one, I'm just tormented by the birds' misfortune. I'm squeamish and a sissy in many ways. So I pretty much avoid pet stores with live animals.
Over the years, when we've adopted dogs or cats from pounds/rescues, I make my ol' man Kirby go in and pick one. I give him a bunch of instructions, and send him in!
And if ever I saw another Patagonian, I'd buy it instantly. I see The Rb in every Patagonian, and I melllllllt. I've never met another in person.
Birds are so enchanting to me.
Hey, you, get home to your babies!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Fortunately, Becky wasn't mistreated- just curious and got herself into a jam. Senorita was happy to rescue her!
I wish we had bird stores in Maine and Petco hardly counts! These stores breed a lot of their own birds for sale. Prices were pretty high. A very young Goffins was $3000 and sold. Not sure they bred that one. But hand raised English Budgies were only $75.
Boarding the flight home very soon.
 
I'd love to see a well maintained bird store. I haven't seen one in a while. I dislike purchasing things 'sight unseen' which is what online purchases are. In bird stores I got the best toys, accessories and more.

Pleasant trip, Donna.
Are you sure you don't have a small travel crate of budgies onboard
Nawwwwwwwwwww, we trust you!

Ooops... reply above!

I hear ya! Some are good; some not. I can't take the chance... if I experience a bad one, I risk foolish purchases and/or nightmares, or both!
 
Holy crap they're cute!
No kiddin'. See why I had to get them? I'm enchanted... so delicate, dainty, delightful... the absolute opposite of the demanding, dictatorial, demonic Rickeybird!

My birds have driven me to alliteration.

I alqays wanted to be a real Budgie Smuggler! Could you imagine trying to smuggle a budgie through the security checkpoint! What would the xray machine operators think when they saw a tiny moving skeleton on the screen in a backpack carrier?

They seem like so much fun, and like they have quite the personalities

I'm a bona-fide CAG smuggler. There are times I don't feel like driving and/or using carrier. So Nameliss rides under my coat, in pocket and once in umbrella as I used mass transit to take her to vet. The only problem I have had is when she mimics things.

They'd think you were possessed. And they'd be right.

They truly do. At first blush, they're just little blurs of wings. But the more I watch them, the more I see. I can now tell them apart from a few feet away, which means I can get to know them. For example, one is braver than the other; one is shyer. Maybe I'll call them Brave Becky and Bashful Becky!
