My new pet budgie!

I’ve been waiting for this for so long, I’m getting a pet budgie! I got the idea from one of my parent’s mate’s budgie, who is so cute and adorable and I haven’t cared for a pet by myself, so I thought “Why shouldn’t I get a budgie?” They’re small, cute, they talk, and it takes real responsibility to take care of one! Since I’m a teenager now, I thought it’d be the perfect time to get one. I saved my birthday money for this, and I’m so happy.

What I needed was: A birdcage (suitable for budgies), toys (to put in the cage), food for the budgie (I’m getting that when I get the budgie), bowls for the budgie’s water, and the budgie itself. I’ve decided that I’m getting the budgie when the school holidays start (which is in 7 days!) so I have time to get the budgie used to me and comfortable, teach it tricks and try and get it to speak.

One reason why I’m getting a budgie is that I need a friend, and I don’t know how to contact my friends in the holidays. It’s really important to and for me that I have chosen this, and I am happy. 

I have been watching youtube videos and reading articles about budgies and I am only getting one because if you get two, they won’t talk as much to you. For the same reason, I am getting a girl. I am hoping to get a blue budgie, but I don’t mind what colour she’ll be. And as for her name, Her name is going to be Nellie! Nel for short, it’s a cool name that goes well with a budgie. I will be treating Nellie with absolute care and she will have my utmost attention.
