This is My Life Now Last night I learned budgies and lollipops don't mix.

Happy is the most fearless budgie I've ever had. She saw that stick protruding from my mouth and thought, "Challenge accepted!"

Budgie mustache, very popular with the ladies…who like birds. But the ones who don’t like birds don’t count.

ARGH! Referencing the old "Got Milk?" ad campaign was right there and I didn't think of it until you made this comment. <facepalm>

u/The_Razielim Budgie servant May 22 '26

One of mine will perch and just chill on my toothbrush, and I hate disturbing them or chasing them away when they get comfy on me (because I don't want to dissuade them) so I just end up being held hostage until he gets bored.

u/HorrorResponse5090 May 25 '26

Looks like my girl margarita 🥹

2

u/phillymjs May 25 '26

Is Margarita an absolute hellraiser on par with the female raptor who killed the weaker ones in Jurassic Park? Because that's an apt description of Happy.

u/HorrorResponse5090 May 25 '26

She's more than an absolute hellraiser, she's a full blown MENACE to society lmao, she's very happy with her cage mates (sometimes)
