Harry

It all started with Harry (aka Splash). 

Harry (aka Splash)
This is the only pic I have

Erin turned up at my house with a request, could I budgie-sit. I am hesitant at first because the last birds she got scared the crap out of me. But this bird is different. It's hand raised and extremely tame. Also I'm not required to do much, the birdcage just sits in my lounge room. 

When Erin leaves I notice the bird has no water. I put some in the container but immediately wonder if I've done the right thing.... can budgies drown??? I take the risk as I don't think she wants a dehydrated bird.

Maybe I'm good at this bird whispering stuff. I even let Harry out to stretch his very young wings. 

The name Harry has come from One Direction, Keira's idea, Erin is not keen on it. His name only lasts a day before they change it. Personally I like the name. Not the boy band so much. So Harry became Splash. Because of his blue feathers. The name suits him, a week later he splashes into Erin's drink, sending her into a panic. But that's another story.

By the time Erin returns for Harry I am convinced that "I want one". A week later we welcome Topaz to the household.
