Say hello to my little friends.

Meet the Budgerigars

If we’re going to waste hours and hours on end at work reading the day-to-day updates written by various budgerigars, the least we can do is learn a little about their personalities:

Apple Dipper

The rumors are all true. Apple Dipper was indeed born (well, hatched) in an Apple Tree. However, it is NOT true that this is why she is named Apple Dipper. No, her name came from a rather embarrassing mistake on her part involving well-known constellations and well-known fruit.

Bangladesh Budgie

Unlike Apple Dipper, Bangladesh Budgie is indeed named so on account of where he was hatched (born). Also unlike Apple Dipper, he has an Indian accent. Like Apple Dipper however, he is a budgerigar.

Berdinand Magellan: The International Incident Budgie

People named Carmen and Waldo travel hither and yon and instantly fade into the background, but not Berdinand Magellan. His motto is Veni, Vidi, CHEEPI!!

Budgeçois-Pièrre

The Frenchest budgie you will ever meet in your life is ironically not from France. Although he moved to the USA from Québec, he often regales others of tales of his homeland in his thick french accent, anticipating the successful seceding of Québec from the rest of Canada.

Lady Budgington of Budgington Keep

Lady Budgington is the proper, well-to-do wife of Lord Budgington of Budgington Keep. She enjoys the finer things of life such as eating premium bird seed and wearing tiny fancy hats.

Lord Budgington of Budgington Keep

If budgerigars used currency, Lord Budgington could be the classic example of “Old money”. An equally viable hypothesis is that Lord Budgington shares a wardrobe with Mr. Peanut.

Ollie

Ha! Look at that! A bird named Ollie!

Prickly Pete

Prickliness may not get you cuddles, but you get all the space on the perch that you want.

Sassafrass

The sassy budgie. Don’t believe me? You let it critique your latest novel chapter and come back and tell me that thing doesn’t have a ‘tude.

Scary Larry

The most horrifying of all budgerigars, Scary Larry has glowing red eyes and always talks in a whisper. Also, he never sleeps. Ever. Heh heh heh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh….

Scrambled Egg Bob

They say you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. If you are a budgerigar, you also can’t be born without breaking at least one egg. Think about that logic as this budgie continues to stare at you.

SouljaBurd

SouljaBurd up in it OH! Watch him crank it watch him roll! His other hobbies include jocking on them haters and bouncing on his toes. YUUUUUUU!

Superchunk

Superchunk isn’t fat, he’s just very robust. Cut him some slack. Not only is it not easy being green, it’s also not easy being a budgerigar who’s as large as a cockatiel and who talks with a BIG DEEP VOICE instead of squeaky little chirps.

Titi

Did you know that the French language does not recognize the dipthong TW and thus, they call Tweety Bird “Titi” (with the i pronounced as ee)? Did you also know that Titi budgie is in no way french? Or francophone? Or a canary?
