I have always been a dog lover. My last dog died in 2011 and my first grandchild was born in the States in 2012, so I was glad to have the freedom to travel at will. Now with the reality of long term lock-down, winter coming and short days, I've been thinking of getting another pet. I live alone, in a second floor flat, and don't really care for cats, so I am thinking about getting a bird, such as a budgie. But I don't know anyone who has one, nor where to look for advice on the best and safest place to obtain one. I know about 'puppy mills' and I suppose there are unethical bird breeders as well. Does anyone have any advice to help me get started?
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
