For the past few weeks or so, I noticed how Buddy-Boy’s tufted up head looked like the Fonz (or Fonzarelli ). He’s the one from the American sitcom on television: Happy Days. I used to watch that show.
And every time I see Buddy-Boy’s response of happiness, much like any parakeet in full chatter with others, self or the bars of the cages, I would see his tuft and say, `Hey!` Then I’d send a mental image to him that `Hey` meant the Fonz.
He’s got the high energy of his father, Bully-Boy, who doesn’t recognize Buddy as his own son. As a matter of fact the surrogate father was Bugsy-Boy, who fed the baby while still in his nest box with Yeyo. Bugsy is the sensitive one who easily gets hurt when Simon and Bully pay attention to each other. Then Simon gets emotional when Bully and Bugsy start talking to one another.
Parakeets are by nature emotional. They know hurt, hunger, sadness and yes loss. They know play, happiness and joy, too! So treat your parakeets as if they are people, only with parakeets needs. If people can talk to horses, anyone can talk to birds in their own language, of course.
