Budgies

After athletics we all got in the car. We were past Upper Hutt before either of the kids asked where we were going.

We were going to Kaitoke to look at budgies. Derek had found the phone number of a girl who had advertised budgies for sale. As it turns out we had bought budgies from her 6 or 7 years ago.

We ended up getting all 9 she had for sale - and paid the price we could have got 2 for from Animates.

We brought them home in little cages, and as it was dark when we got home, we left them in there for the night but inside the aivery. Hannah was awake early wanting to let them out. Stuart wasn't far behind her as he wanted to let Sharn out (one had been called Sharn and Stuart's friend is Sharn)

They came out quite quickly and were sitting happily on branches when we left them.

As soon as Hannah arrived home from school she was wanting to go and see "her" birds. Not just to look at them from the outside of the aivery but to get inside the aivery !!!!
