Birdie In The Window

We have a pair of budgies and they do not seem to take to being home pets like the way the fishes have. The pair, they are jumpy and uptight and it's not like they're hungry or anything. In fact, their big perk around here is all that fruit they get to eat whenever we have them around the house, which is always. And the seeds, of course, if they don't get tired of that stuff. Anyway, in a cage is not the way that birds are intended to live, I know that, although that's not the feeling I got from a mynah bird we used to own (now 12 years old and forcibly adopted by my mother-in-law), who has this amazingly colorful vocabulary and a huge appetite for siling labuyo which probably fires his motormouth. That myna, he is just happy in captivity, unlike these two that we have here. Here's one who absolutely hates to have his picture taken, and he's probably hating the rainy afternoons, and is figuring out how to get free. I got a mind to release the two, if my husband should allow, and the stray neighborhood cat that costantly schemes on having them for midnight snack will miss them for sure.
