Saturday's Critters – Louis

Here is Louis, our little budgie. This photo was taken some time ago but a budgie like Louis is cheeky and friendly. He likes to chat

Every animal or bird has an entirely different personality they are never the same.

Louis is 12 years old . We are so fortunate to have him.

I have been extremely busy with one thing or another… Life can be like that. 

No, I am not sorry that Louis lives in a bird cage if I let him go in the wild in New Zealand he would die very quickly. Budgies in New Zealand don’t live long free…The other birds would hunt him down and kill him. 

Often pet budgies don’t live past 5 years of age because they are fed supermarket bird seed and not the proper food. I give him Harrisons formula and a bit of garden greens plus a flight around the room once or twice a day. He actually prefers his own cage..that is his home.

Yes, the bird cages need to be kept clean with fresh food and water everyday. 

He is a good friend and everyone loves him. He is a very sociable bird and greets everyone.

  1. Aww, Louis is very cute. No you’re right, they wouldn’t last very long in the wild. Alas, I don’t have any pets. I would love a dog though. Maybe one day. =)

    • Yes, so it would seem, Louis would not survive free of his cage and he does love his cage it is his home.
      He does get a flight a day and protests when he has to leave the cage. He always flies back to the cage
