One of my budgies imitates the sound of a magpie which is quiet funny. They are funny little things. Ive had budgies most of my life and they are quiet entertaining. They all sit together on a perch on the outside of the cage. When it is time to go to bed I tell them "bed" and they all jump inside the cage. So they are pretty well trained!

I have had a budgie before that has bitten me hard and has drawn blood. She was quiet ill and I had to handle her on a regular basis because she kept getting a blocked vent. She did get used to me handling her in the end. Unfortunately she died early this year.
