Anniversary birds: 12500th budgie

On 12/10/2005 Jana Westerveld from Germany entered the name of th 12500th budgie into the stats: Pete. The young male is her darling and she became very proud of him when she heard he is an anniversary budgie:

"Pete is the younges member of my little flock (four members) and he is the dearest bird among them! When Carolin (she is known as Ninja in the VWFD-Forum) showed the first photos of her chicks I was sure that I wanted one of these fluffy featherballs here in my home.

Pete is a shiny coloured banded pied and we really love his colours. He is a calm guy and therefore he is less flashy than the other budgies. In fact he still owns the special status of a chick in our flock and he is so special to us because compared to his fellows he is quite small. :-)

By the way he loves to eat tangerine, orchard grass seeds, cucumber, sprouted seeds and lots more."
