Good morning Faithful Friends!
Thank you all so much for your kind support. What a blessing you are!
Mary Rose: Bijou actually has a pet budgie (parakeet) named Lou. Pictures below. Bijou would be very concerned about the cold temps with winter coming. They can survive ok down to about the low 40's with proper nutrition, but it takes a lot out of them. Bijou doesn't think your parakeet will survive the winter.
Also outdoor bird seed usually is terrible quality because wild birds augment their diet with fruits and proteins (bugs). Budgies tend not to eat protein much if this one used to be domesticated. She/he may have some nutrient deficiencies.
Barb: maybe you can email me your recipe for the slow cooker shredded beef - I've been trying to chose a good recipe for those sandwiches for a while now. Have a great time at your party!
Oh, and if anyone has the answer to stopping the merry-go-round, please share it with all of us!!!
Hugs all around!
