Velvet at the vet

Velvet tries always to fly in the cage, although he cannot well fly since Jacky bit his feathers in the wings away. He was before that mostly too lazy to fly, so it is no too bad for him.
Once when he tried to fly, he did not match the perch and felt down badly on the ladder. So his stomach got damaged. We both went to the vet and she gave Velvet some medicineas well as an injection. Velvet was really quite. He did not try to bite. He just watched what went on and looked to his stomach where the vet gave him this injection. She said that he is a good bird.

Velvet in the kitchen

At the time when we had just three birds (Velvet, Jacky and Lemon) I had the two males nearly every evening outside the cage where they sat on the top of the sofa how it is shown at Jacky's photos. Normally I am in the living-room with them, but at this evening I wanted to eat some chocolate-pudding. I heard them shouting and I left the kitchen. I saw that Velvet was at the end of the couch and looked right to the kitchen door where I went in. When he saw me he made some quiet shoutings to Lemon and hobbled back. I think he got the advice by Lemon to look where I am. So it went for a while. Then I stayed in the kichen, because the pudding cooked and I just heard a budgie flying. In the next second Velvet sat next to my pot with pudding and looked at me as he wanted to say: "Hey, come with me back to the living-room, we are so lonely!" Imagine if he has landed in the pot. Until this they never left the living-room, although all was opened. But until this I was mostly all the time with them.
