She's tiny, and with her wings clipped, she can't fly to the favorite spots available to Mr Mollo and Shelly. Nevertheless, these few ounces of turquoise and yellow feathers are a bright addition to the household.
Attempting to transport a budgie from South Florida to frozen Minnesota seemed a bit nuts. Nevertheless, Sunny's persistence at the pet store, combined with her verve and pep left me with no choice; I had to take her home with me!
Eight hours on planes and at airports was not exactly a treat for either of us. And, the first day or two at home, Sunny clearly was not welcomed by either Shelly or Mr Mo. They definitely saw her as an intruder in their territory!
Finally, though, the Senior Resident Birdies seem to be coming around. Sunny is entranced by the enormous and special Mr Mo. She follows him everywhere she can; he responds imperially by deigning to not snap at her. And Shelly is, for the first evening, sharing her cage with the junior Sunny.
We're back to a three bird community!
Oooooo pretty!
