Daphne

[Bird_Lover]

Name: Daphne

Species: Budgerigar

Gender:  Female

Native Habitat: Australia

Hatch Date or approximate age: 5 years

Nicknames: Daf, Daffy

Talks:  In budgie!  :P

Hand Tame: Yepper!

Where Obtained and how you came together:  Daf came to me from a friend.  They bought her from the petstore to be a mate for their existing budgie.  He picked on her, so we took Daffy in.  She and Lady really bonded when I just had them, but after Sydney, Penny and Keiko came along, Daphne discovered that she was a budgie.  I think she really thought she was a cockateil...she and Lady would preen each other, share dishes, perches, everything.

Favorite Foods:  Beak appetite, big pellets, millet, corn, lettuce.

Favorite Toys:  Anything that she can destroy!  Balsa, paper, and rope toys are favorites.

Medical Issues/Concerns: She is a bit overweight.

Quirks, Habits, etc..:  Besides her previous species confusion, Daffy likes to wander off and get into trouble, sometimes getting lost.  She will fly around and start walking on the floor...boy can she walk fast too! Daphne and Penny are bonded.  Like, really bonded.  I saw Penny mount Daphne yesterday after she did the mating stance/call.  They feed each other too...  :o
