Bud Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi all. Thought I ought to introduce myself to those I haven't met. My name is Bud and I am 2 and a half, but very mature for my age 8) I enjoy teasing the neighbour's cat and playing with my carers. I really enjoyed meeting many of you at conference. here I am with a few of my new friends... I got to ride over to Nelson with wilson. and met zev and Kevin I go to meet lots of others too as they came to visit me (they wouldn't let me in the restaurant) but we didn't get photos. I enjoyed the social evening on Friday night but blushed at the parrot joke John Eastwood told everybody! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 hiya Bud do you use water wings when rearranging your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 May I extend a feathery welcome to you. :lol: So what kind of fish do you keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I don't do my own water changes. My carers do it for me. I also don't rearrange my cage. I don't have my own fish but am wondering about keeping a few parrot fish :lol: When my carer lifts the lid on her tank I like to perch on the edge and drink out of it but I fell in once so am extra careful as I got stuck between the water and the glass sheet and it was frightening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi Bud your avatar looks like a famous painting - The blue boy sounds like you have many good friends you obviously like that famous budgerigar saying Fish of a scale, should school together do you have a Bebo site as well, my sons red rump has one under the name crackers nice fish also to consider keeping are perch, senegals, cockatoos and eagle rays though the last may be a bit demanding well keep your pecker up, enjoy the forums and may all your problems be non feline ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi & welcome :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: May I ask why you do not have your own fish, couldn't you just ask for a bigger cage to keep at least one little tank in. I mean it is only fair! Sorry to hear about your, ah, impromtu swim. Shame that your care givers DID NOT get a photo, tisk tisk on them. Take care & have fun, Caper PS I'm guessin your little wings won't carry you over here for a visit???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Livingart I never thought of a bebo site. Not sure I have the time :-? Please don't mention keeping my pecker up. It was that very topic that caused my embarrassment at the parrot joke! :oops: Cheesejawa, I do not have fish of my own as I would find the maintenance a bit difficult. I can only lift so much and buckets are beyong my capability. I am happy to admire others' fish. Dixon 1990, yes I really did fall into the 250 tank! It has a glass lid in 3 sections. The front section broke so there is an 8cm gap running the full length of the tank. Caryl had the wooden lid up so she could feed the fish and I was helping. I can fling bottom feeder pellets a good distance! 8) . I lost my footing and fell in. While attempting to get out I flapped under the glass sheet and Caryl couldn't get her hand in the gap and under me. Luckily I turned around and managed to make it back under the open space so she could get her hand underneath. I was one very frightened and soggy budgie Caper I wuold love to visit but our quarantine regulations wouldn't let me back into NZ without long term isolation and I wouldn't like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Caper I wuold love to visit but our quarantine regulations wouldn't let me back into NZ without long term isolation and I wouldn't like that you could join the birds that migrate to nz each year, i think they don't get checked by biosecurity when they arrive, no ERMA paperwork either watch those starlings though they are a rowdy bunch, they think they are better than other birds with their shiny coats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I hope Wilson did not get you hooked on that Pepsi stuff on your journey to Nelson. Although I did see him drinking a rival companies product whist at the conference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
