Coming back with Muttley this morn & came across a Budgie sitting on a post in the fileds, it was getting mobbed by the other wild birds.
On the third attempt I caught the little bugger (purely by trickery).
Popped it in my coat pocket & brought it home. I've just won a new bird cage on ebay for £5.50. Maria's been & bought some food etc for it.
At the moment (until we go & collect the cage) it's in with the Guinea Pigs. Make no mistake, the birds in charge & chases the pigs off when they too inquisitive ;D ;D

Please explain how you tricked it in case we too see a budgie ;D I can imagine the guinea pigs squealing a bit while the budgie rounds them up :o

Show it one hand, wiggle your fingers on it to get its attention & with the other hand slowly close in on it from behind.

Well done on saving the bird Pete - many others wouldn't have bothered their arse 8) :y

guinea pigs and budgies should live together....budgies will always be attacked and killed by native birds due to their colour... :y

Turns out it's a female & so I'm totally surrounded by females ;D
She has her own cage now, fed, warm & watered :y
Very quiet at the moment, but I expect when it finds its feet that'll change ::) ;D

Noisy little blighters once they feel at home.

Light brown cere usually female unless it`s a Lutino or one of the Pied variety (recessive or dominant) :)

Are you sure it's female? I wasn't aware they were capable of being quiet.
