When it would pass, she would replace it right away. Every one of them was called "Chico." As a kid, I thought that birds lived forever because Grandma's Chico was there for years and years...

I had to get used to using parakeet here in America though. I'd mention budgies, and no one would have a clue what I meant. I would love to have a budgie for a pet, but I love traveling more!
