i was about to head back, when i noticed the shop keeper showing off a 2month old budgie to a small kid (6years old i think).
i was shocked...
the shop keeper was repeatedly standing and dropping the bird from a height to show that it couldn't fly and therefor cant escape. and the poor bird kept plummeting down to the floor with soft "thuddd" sounds. all weak and dizzy.

to add to that, he was picking the bird up by the TAIL!
the kid was squeezing the bird and saying that it was soft and warm!

i felt so mad...
10 mins later i had bought the budgie myself and persuaded the small kid to get a rabbit instead.
i couldn't stand it...
![Love struck :x](./images/smilies/8.gif)
i brought the bird home and gave it a warm water, and soft warm food mix and some seeds.
its soooo cute... after petting it for a few mins, it was all snuggling in to any soft cloth it could find. i popped it into a cage and now, 2 days later, its the cutest thing ever...

anyway, my friend's aunt has a breeding pair of irn. she says she' get me a young irn this spring.
so even if i am to wait for another 5months for my irn, i'l do so.

in the mean time, i have yuki (the budgie i brought home).
![Big Grin :D](./images/smilies/4.gif)
a question, do you think irns and budgies can co-exist and b non-vioent?
p.s, sorry... this post turned out really long...
