Josie's Budgie Tales

I want something nice to show off my beautiful feathers, thought Josie.

Mommy has some very nice things, very shiny and bright. I wonder if
she would give me some, just to make me look more special.

So began Josie’s fight to get her own jewellery. She tried nibbling mommy’s ear, the gold earring was just the right thing, very shiny and LARGE! Just what she wanted, Josie tried very hard to get that earring, she nibbled, she pulled real hard and still it wouldn’t come out.

Rats!!! I wanted it so much, maybe a nice bracelet would do, So she started nibbling and pulling on a gold bracelet. No luck.

This has gone on and on for years, Josie still can’t get anything shiny to match her lovely feathers, what she doesn’t know is that she is beautiful just as she is.

It is what is inside her that counts not want she thinks she needs, Josie is a smart, happy, cheeky budgie. All the rest is just for show. Some day she might understand but then she is only 5 years old.
