This is going to be the story of my birdies and me.
It is an ongoing story. I'd like to start at the beginning, with reasons. But, I keep meaning to do that and instead I don't get started at all. So, I am going to start a little past the beginning. It was Late January of 2019:
Once upon a time there were two little budgies. Well actually there was a little flock of little baby budgies. They were living all together happily within some glass walls inside a pet store. They had all been together there forever - or, at least as long as they could remember, which was not very long at all. Maybe a few days or so.
Outside the glass walls, things were very scary. Lots of creatures moving about. Some creatures had four legs, and some had only two. The two-legged creatures were Big Scary People. The Big Scary People stood upright, and occasionally bent over and stared in at the budgies. But that was okay, because the tiny little budgies had each other, and their glass walls, to protect them.
But then, something terrible happened. There were lots of creatures and Big Scary People in the store. One looked through the glass, and another OPENED the glass. And, in reached a Big Scary Hand!
The little baby budgies all started jumping around in terror.
The Hand paused, and then took out the brightest, greenest little baby budgie. He was terrified!! The hand put him inside a small scary box. He was All Alone! He had never been alone before. And, it was dark. He did not like the dark.
The box commenced moving around. There was no perch in the box for him to hold, and the cardboard was slippery. He heard People-Voices for a while, and then it got quiet.
