Our little friend is finally in loving company :) as it should be!
Personally I think that the budgie comic was the worst of all. But maybe I'm biased because I grew up with Budgies.
Saying that, no pet deserves neglect and abandonment.

I adored my parakeets!

I was hoping this little one would get a follow-up. I have three 'tiels; #1 can't fly due to malnutrition from an all-seed diet, living with a lovebird made him grumpy and defensive with no friendship instincts; #2 was surrendered for attacking women's faces, he was raised alone and bonded to his male owner (and shoes). He has infinite love/cuddles to give, and with training, not punishment, he no longer attacks. #3 was an 'aviary' bird setloose, she was handed into the pound when found exhausted/wounded by wild birds. She is skittish, constantly on alert for wild birds and people. She taught my lonely boys how to flock, preen each other, and forage; I slowly built trust on her terms. They all free-fly in my home and are spoiled rotten! But I sorely wish more pet & "ornamental" birds could have happy endings!
