Ennie Meanie Minie and Moe are budgies or parakeets. Budgerigars, or budgies, are small parrots sporting a long tapered tail. A budgie is always a parakeet but a parakeet isn't always a budgie. Their small bodies are packed with a huge personality. Budgies are very playful and mischievous and in most cases, easily tamed.
These budgies are blue, yellow, white, and green. They probably worked in a discount store before we got them because they tell us how "cheap" everything is. They hate badminton, even though they haven't even played a game, maybe their parents told them how rough a sport it is. Native Australian budgies are always green, there are many "Moe" of them than any other color.
Ennie, Meanie, Minie, and Moe are now with an older gentleman who needed companionship after a long stay in the hospital and convalescent center. He was returning home to a quiet house. At last check, the budgies and the gentleman were getting along great. Best wishes to all.

A reasonable amount of fleas is good for a dog; it keeps him from brooding over being a dog. |
