If you’ve ever had a pet budgie I’m sure you’ll agree that no matter how cute and chirpy it is, being stuck in a cage limits your interaction together. The best you can hope for is to poke your finger between the bars and hope it will take a peck at your nail, which is [...]

Got a surprise fly-by visit from a neighbourhood budgie earlier today. Completely threw me as he/she fluttered in through our window and landed a few cms away. But the kids were undaunted, and, as you can tell from this pic, juniorette was in love within minutes. And just as I was contemplating just what the feck I was going to do with this wee bird, it was off once again...

Every so often, I'll forget that some people don't know why I'm called "budgie".

And there've been a couple of new people reading this who've asked, so here's the link to the "origin story" - Why "Budgie"?

When in dining mode, I am a grazer. I like to sample a range of flavours, and try new things as often as possible. Chinese banquets are great. I like my Indian food to be served on as many plates as possible so I can play culinary Russian roulette with my taste buds. A spot of [...]
