Am In Shock
This is Gizmo one of our boy budgies, this is a photo of when we first got him. Although he is not a lot bigger now bless him. He turned 9 months old last week. To celebrate he decided to have some fun with Snowy our white budgie.
My lovely daughter had this conversation with me
I thought, he is too young it will be ok. Oh no Snowy is showing signs of nesting. So now trying to sort out adding the nesting box to the cage and separating Snowy and Gizmo to one cage and Pippy and Beanie to the other while we wait the eggs and babies. My life is never dull.
One More Thing To Happen
On Sunday evening around 7pm my sister in law rang to let us know my mother in law was not well. A short time later her partner rang me said he can not stay on the phone but the ambulance is on its way. I spoke to her but she sounded awful.
At 9pm my sister in law rang again, to say they were taking her into hospital. The paramedic said it could be Sepsis and her organs may start to fail you had better get here. I had just made a drink and about to have a shower. So off we went to Basingstoke, we got there first. We were taken to the resus area where she was being treated.
She was sounding so much better to when I spoke to her. So far they did a CT scan to check a bleed on her brain, as she was not making any sense at all. Had chest drays and said she will be having more next day, as thought it was liver infection or stones. Monday I spoke to a Dr who told me it could be a heart murmur. Monday a different Dr to my sister in law the same and also a lump in her stomach, Then yesterday everything was clear, but keeping her in to finish antibiotics.
So no idea what is wrong, but whatever it is she is thankfully responding well.

I just learnt that Parakeets can mate for life!! That is so sweet!!
What a speedy recovery! I am so glad to hear it. What a scare though. Hope your mother in law is back home now.
These two do love each other, no eggs yet but should be anytime from today.
Luckily she came home on Saturday and is a lot happier about that
Wow, sounds like quite a rollercoaster of a week! From budgie adventures to health scares, it’s been eventful. Sending positive vibes your way for your mother-in-law’s recovery. Can’t wait to read about your upcoming giveaways! Take care. 🌟
It was a rollercoaster week. I am forever checking on the budgies now. My mother in law came home Saturday so is a lot happier now. the new giveaway is now live
OMG, you’re going to have baby birdies!!!! That should be an interesting experience. I hope your Mother in law is okay.
No eggs yet, but you already know what Caitlin told me the other day still not happy lol
I hope your mother—in-law is doing better and I hope they have arrived at a diagnosis so treatment can be targeted. It can be difficult when family members are in the hospital so I hope you take time to rest.
She has been tested for everything, and now awaiting another scan but turns out it was sepsis She is home now and feeling a lot better than she did
Oh gosh, prayers to your MIL that all continues to go well with her treatments! What a week…at least the little trio is keeping you all busy and delighted.
She is home now thankfully, the birds certainly keep me on my toes and they are not even mine haha

It is where I share the ups and the lows of how my week went, there is hardly a dull moment in my house
Oh no glad she’s responding well and also a fun giveaway to enter! This was a great catch up!
Thank you 🙂
I hope she is feeling better now. it is the worst to get a shock announcement like this. all the best to your famly.
Thank you, she has been tested for everything and is resonding to the antibiotics. Thankfully she was on them quickly or it could have been more serious
That’s good to hear that your mother in law is responding well, those types of calls are always so tough, esp when there’s nothing you can do. Lol at your birds trying to get it in haha x
She is responding ok, although chatting to her today she sounded a bit slurry. The birds just shock me all the time. It is looking that we will have eggs at some stage very soon
Oh wow that sounds like quite the fright! I am glad that your family is doing better.
I has been a week of it and more has happened since
That sounds like a stressful week, I am so glad that your mother-in-law is responding to the antibiotics, it must have been such a worry. Oh, and I bet that was a bit of s surprise with the budgies. Haha!
Just been chatting to my mother in law hopefully home tomorrow. It was a huge surprise, they are now in a separate cage and should lay eggs next week
I don’t know who decides how old animals are to mate, but they’re often wrong. I had two dogs that weren’t fixed. I was waiting because they were “too young” to mate. Fast forward, and we had a house full of puppies!
I have no idea either, I would love a houseful of puppies
Sounds like you’ve had quite the eventful week! From celebrating Gizmo’s milestone to the sudden health scare with your mother-in-law, it’s been a rollercoaster. Sending well wishes for her speedy recovery 😊
It has been a very busy week, my mother in law is recovering which is great. As for Gizmo he is being so good with Snowy and caring he will not move far away from her
a tense week for you all – march will be brighter and filled with positivity
It certainly has been a week thats for sure
Sorry to hear about your mother in law – glad she is doing a bit better
Thank you, turns out it was/is sepsis
Exciting news about budgies! I wonder how many she will lay! It will be excellent experience for Caitlins vetinary skills! Pleased to hear that your mother in law is now on the mend
I could not beleive it, and still in shock. I will say Gizmo is being a sweetheart and will not leave her side. We now have them in one cage together with a nesting box and shredded paper on bottom of the cage. Caitlin told me she should aroung the 4th. Apparently she has sepsis which was confirmed yesterday
