As in our friends of the air. Not women, or "wimmin" as they're often known. I will keep budgies one day when I have a house of my own. They're probably the perfect pet, if you don't count dogs.
Things you may not know about budgies:
1) they're from Australia 2) they have a loving affinity with with the eucalyptus plant 3) chocolate can kill them
So birds. Discuss.

My first pet was a Budgie, little blue fella. Bit too adventurous and/or dumb for its own good.
Flew into the window at full speed a few times. Saw my dad was eating something once and decided to land it it - my dad was eating piping hot tomato soup. The wee thing met his doom when he decided to investigate what was behind the fireplace in the living room (it was a water boiler in full boiling mode)
But yeah, I do like birds. Would love to have a baby budgie and kitten so that they grow up to be fast friends. I can't see where that plan would go awry.

You could get a dog too. I would imagine that that would only add to their playful capering. Perfect for family portaits. Just make sure you don't have any anvils.
Anvils featured quite heavily in Warner Bros-related animal cruelty. It's a bit of an odd thing. I mean, even at the dawn of the television age, anvils were surely already a thing of the past. A fridge or a car engine would have been much more relevant.

My Dad used to have a cockatiel.
That is all.

I've been reluctant to google "love-organatiel" in case it turned out to be a complicated ruse to make me look up something completely filthy on the iNtErNeT. But I caved. Google suggested I look up "love-organisation" and not much else. What are you talking about?

That shouldn't happen any more. I changed it because everyone knows the top five topics of conversation on the iNtErNeT forums are cocktails, stopcocks, scunthorpe, shuttlecocks and cockaleekie soup.

Are we allowed to discuss the Dick Van Dyke Show?
