I love turquoise and I love budgies. They are so sweet and have HUGE characters. I painted this little man today on piece of 5×7 inch cotton rag paper as I have a mountain of these size offcuts that for the sake of ecology I need to use up:)
Actually Birdo #1 was very naughty, but this blue one, “Birdo #2” was a bit of a dud. Birdo #1 -an albino I got when just a wee chick when I was in college -At 2 or 3 was starting to talk, he would say “hello” and “pretty bird”. He loved to play hide and seek (He always hid under the bed and thought he was so clever – would squawk and shriek and run around like a nut when you “found” him) ๐ and he would always fight with my pencil while I was doing my homework. He loved to land on people's heads. Hence his demise when he landed on the wrong one. A dog. ๐ฆ

Hi Sandy – thanks – What sort of naughtiness did your budgie get up to?
