yeah that would make you super busy D: well for now so he doesnt spook so easily, place it by his cage until you eventually move it inside  well i think i will keep lennys perches for his cage. i cut some thick straight branches for butch but i need to wash (another ting for the list  )and some how attach them... petsmart has some nice ones but they are either too long or a little to short. i could always get a long one and cut it but that would be more expensive and i am already going to spend a lot of $$ on other supplies... and i have $30 set aside for another bird. truthfully, though i really miss taking lenny out and training him, i want another bird for butch, not for me. he is just so much happier. of course i want another bird to train, but that is the second reason why i want one  |

trying to. in the end i probably will not be able to get one >  i trained butch today and his training is still going down hill. he rarely even puts one foot on the perch. i tried 3 times to push the perch into him and he go on the first time, the second time he was a little hesitant, and the third time he stepped over it so it was between his legs and we was tripping over it  |

i would definitely check them out and see if any of the birds stand out to you that would be a good match for Butch our petstore always has gorgeous budgies. |

i wish i could have some zebra finched too becasue butch was with them at the shelter and he would sometime sing like them lenny would do like a tiel whistle, which i always wondered if he was calling his mate or friend |

well i think butch would like another budgie. it would be his safest companion |

yes. and he would sing more and probably get better in training again. and it would give me a little buddy for my shoulder again |

it would, and maybe eventually get you TWO shoulder buddies butch may warm up to you more with a tame bird around |
