For reasons which have passed me by, we seem to be having to hand rear a baby budgie.
It is very small and wasn't responding well yesterday. It appears to have grey feathers, like it's dad.
I warned the kids that it was likely to die, and they were not, under any circumstances to give it a name not after the rabbit debacle.
Naturally, I overheard "well, he's grey. We should name him after something to do with grey".
uh oh
"Graeme"
Graeme the budgie. So named, because he's grey. Hope the fecker lives now. Cheered me up no end.
Graeme.
