I'm Anna, a self-professed budgie nut. Just dropping in to say hi and give just a quick little intro to the mad mad world of me :)
I'm currently living in West Wales with my 4 kids, my fiance and a whole menagerie of animals and birds.
I have always been fond of budgies, since when I was a child and my granda had a tame one called Joey. The bird always amazed me with it's cheery attitude and antics.
When I lived in Norway I used to breed budgies and cockatiels on a hobby basis and I used to sell them to the local pet shops. It was THE most fun I have ever had. At one point I had 38 budgies and 17 cockatiels!! I even converted one of the rooms in the house to a bird room. Sadly my eldest (18 now, 5 at the time) developed a major allergy to the birds and I had to quit.
I moved to Wales about 9 years ago and dreamt of being able to start up with my birds again, and it finally happened. I have my own aviary in the back garden, and my son is even able to control his allergies in regards to the birds we have indoors. I breed the budgies on a hobby basis, just the pet types, never had too much interest in the show type.
So now we have around 30-40 budgies at any given time in the aviary, one in the house (he's the king LOL), 2 hahns macaws that I adopted a couple of months ago, and my 6 cockatiels.
We also have a bunch of other animals: 2 dogs, a hamster, some fish, a gecko and 4 guinea pigs. Yep, I'm totally nuts!
Anyway, that was supposed to be a short little intro, but as always, I can never do things by halves
Take Care!
Anna
