Laker is a real beauty. His face sort of reminds me of my Spice. Those are beautiful pictures.

It would be fun to see Spice with Laker - but I imagine Spice is just 'more' everything.

If I ever get another Budgie it might be a Show one.

Oh really?! I thought you preferred the standard budgie look!

Nancy - at the bird fair we saw the most beautiful all white show budgie and he looked exactly like the show version of Sugar. I thought of you immediately

Oh wow. I wish you had gotten a picture of that. I would have loved to have seen it.

I think I was so overstimulated with all the birds and bird stuff around that it didn't occur to me to take out my cell phone and snap some pics! I marveled that that guy for awhile, he was stunning.

I was about to get a white Show Budgie just before I saw Rio's photo. I was going to make the trip - they told me the parents & I figured out it probably was a hen. Then the owner was so terse & strange on the emails I got turned off & let it go.

I wasn't sure about the hen thing anyways. Things might have been pretty funny around here with a such a big girlfriend - I can't imagine how Laker would do.
