Hi friends,
I am writing to you about a startling phenomenon i have
observed in my budgies.
My budgies are pre-adolesent and already, some of them are
showing precociousness compared to others in intelligence
and ability to observe events around them while others remain
average. I have noticed these very individuals tend to become
leaders of budgie groups later. I would love to hear from you
if you have had similar experiences where budgies have shown
certain traits from their younger days.

You mean that they're not all identical? What a revelation! Do you think
you should inform the experst of this incredible discovery? The budgie
world will never be the same.

IME dogs, hamsters, lovebirds and even goldfish (yes fish not finch) keep
and develop their childhood traits just like humans do. I doubt that anyone
who knows budgies would be surprised by the idea that they have
personalities that show when young.
wrt intelligence, what differences in budgies have you noticed? One of the
tests for intelligence is the ability to recognise that an image in a mirror
is "you" and not another human/bird, Almost all of my lovebirds do this;
one of those that can't displays other signs of probable mental retardation.
As budgies seem to be fascinated by mirrors (unless it's just tradition), I
guess, and it's just a guess, that most of them would fail that test.

Hmmm. Noted, prejudice against pigeons, and now budgies. :(

Perhaps i should have been more specific, my birds are clearly segregated
into 2 groups. the leaders and the followers, even though they're the same
age. The leaders pull off stunts like bending iron bars to leave and enter
the cage when they wish, understanding when you're coming near them for with
food or just to pet them, i think one of my birds even knows the limits of
my patience and tests it by biting my hand and observing my reaction. This
contrast is to my mind quite startling , which may not be news to many of
you but is amazing nonetheless.
The second group consists of individuals who let others take the risk, though
adorable these birds merely follow the leads of other birds.

I would like to clarify if this newsgroup is a meeting ground for
budgie enthusiasts who can sometimes state something which is not
new to others or a scientific journal where only PHD's in Ornithology
can participate and must state something which is essentially new.
Though i could have been more specific i admit, and i have made
another post in this thread clarifying that, (you could read that
if you wished) i am nonetheless a little bruised by your misplaced
sarcasm.
Thought i get that straight.

Being more specific doesn't help you in the least. The fact that budgies
(or any bird or animal) have different personality traits is not a news
flash. The fact that these traits begin to show early in life is also
nothing new. The fact that you think it's interesting and worthy of
discussion is a testament to your ignorance. Note that this thread is a
discussion of your ignorance and not of your "discovery"

If you want a budgie group try alt.pets.parrots.budgerigars But don't
expect to escape me.

I did read it. Being specific changed nothing.

It was not misplaced.

The only thing you've accomplished is that you've assured your place in the
big book of dumb**** morons.
