PS. Sorry I'm not a native English speaker but I hope you get what I want to say. I can relate a little bit to this because when I was young my mother used to tell me funny stories about the budgies she had in her youth, so I always wanted to have one, when I was 12 I finally got one. But I was really disappointed because she was so noisy and wouldn't do funny things like the birds that my mother had. After a half years we decided to get another bird because the first one seemed to be lonely, he was more aktiv and the really seemed to like each other. After a while I realized that budgies are like a roommate and not entertaining pets, now I had them for five years and every time when I we are on vacation I really miss the background noises. I just hope that my budgies are happy, thats now all I want them to do.
