Tink and I seem to have accidentally made a friend? (Yes, believe it or not, there's a budgie under all that fluff)
My friendship with Tink was a concerted effort, I noticed she seemed lonely and was paying a little attention to me and warmed her up to cuddles very slowly over time.
On the other hand, despite being here for several months and showing no interest in me, the past couple of days our fluffiest rescue, Lolo, (named via Instagram by a 17 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza after one of her martyred friends), noticed if she paid a bit of extra attention to me she sometimes gets extra seeds or treats. This morning I decided to try and pick her up and see how she reacted and she just cuddled up and fell asleep on me for five minutes? She seemed to love being scritched and groomed, too.
Then this afternoon I walked into the living room and found Lolo and Tink snuggling on the floor together. They've never paid any mind to each other before and I didn't introduce them. Lolo is a brilliant flier so could easily get away from either of us if she wanted. She does spend a lot of time foraging on the floor which may be how they've bonded?
So obviously I picked them up and got them to cuddle up together on me instead. They both let me pick them up without any fuss whatsoever and just fell back asleep in my hand.
I don't know what is in the air right now or how this has happened but I love it.

New Tink position just dropped.
We just lost one of my rescues, a female budgie who hadn't been with me more than a year. It's been a long year.
She was dumped outside a pet shop in the middle of winter with about 15 other budgies. I took in her and her partner. He died a couple of months ago in a bit of a freak incident where he suddenly developed a prolapse out of nowhere. Basically a death sentence. I rushed him to the vet as soon as I noticed but he died in my hands whilst the vet was preparing to euthanise him. I buried him with my other two lost budgies in my grandma's garden. My grandma prepared a box for him and we filled it with flowers she had grown herself.
My grandma died, also very suddenly and unexpectedly, a couple of weeks later. This is the first bird I've buried without her. She was the only person who really seemed to understand my care for them. She remembered their names. She remembered where we buried them.
The girl I lost today was absolutely fine until last night. I noticed she had thrown up so put her in a hospital cage with a heat lamp and gave her some antibiotics, put some supplements in her water and food and determined to take her to the vet the next day if she was still throwing up or hadn't eaten. By the time I got up in the morning she was already gone. She's the only pet I've had who I wasn't holding when they died. I regret not getting up sooner. No living thing deserves to die alone.
I buried the girl next to her partner, on my own. It was dark and raining. They were both pretty young and always seemed healthy right up until their deaths. Obviously I don't know their backstory or where they came from, how they were bred, because whoever abandoned them did it in the middle of a freezing night last December instead of hanging them in somewhere safe. I can't help feeling like it's my fault I couldn't save them for longer.
So anyway. Here's Tink. I gave her some extra cuddles tonight and she fell asleep like this. I thought it was worth sharing.
