Isn't it funny the things you find yourself buying when they remind you of something from childhood, don't you think? In my primary school years we used to have a pair of budgerigars called Cheeky and Joey, and there's an interesting story about them which can be read by clicking here. Recently, while passing a shop window in my town's main shopping centre (now sadly in such serious decline that it's up for sale), I spotted two ornamental ringers for the pair of budgies we'd once owned. Bought them immediately of course, and they now sit on the shelf of a display cabinet in my living-room. It's like Cheeky and Joey have been resurrected, and whenever I gaze upon them, I think back to those long ago years which are so dear to me in retrospect.
Sure, they don't move and they don't sing, but at least I don't have to clean sh*t out of a budgie cage on a daily basis, so that's a plus. It's just nice to look at them - and remember. Any of you Crivvies got any animal ornaments that remind you of childhood or teenage pets? If not, if you saw one, would you buy it? Do tell.
