Ny fugl / New bird

Min tilbageværende undulat havde været i pasning hos min bror i 3 uger, og det meste af tiden havde hun bare siddet og kigget på undulaten i spejlet. Da hun kom hjem i vindueskarmen, begyndte hun at pippe, men der var nu ikke meget tvivl om at hun følte sig ret alene.
Så søndag tog jeg i Amagercenteret for at købe en kammerat. Det er lidt mærkeligt sådan at have en ny fugl i tasken på vej hjem!

My left-over bird had been looked after by my brother for 3 weeks, and most of the time, she had just been sitting and staring at the other bird in the mirror. Once she got home in the window sill, she started talking, but I had no doubt that she really felt very lonely.
So on Sunday, I went to Amagercenteret to buy a buddy. It is kind of strange going home with a bird in the bag!

Hun-undulater er temmelig territoriebevidste, så de fik lov at sidde i hver sit bur lige i starten. Den gamle var ikke specielt interesseret i den nye, hvilket jeg tolkede positivt. Hvis hun havde været meget sur, havde hun nok kigget lidt mere! Så ret hurtigt kom de sammen.

Female budgerigars are quite territory conscious, so in the beginning, they stayed in separate cages. The old bird was not very interested in the new one, which I took as a good sign. If she had been very mad, she would have stared some more! So they got together rather quickly. 

Indtil videre går det meget godt. Jeg har haft 2 blå undulater i 5-6 år, så det er hyggeligt med en grøn. Det bliver sjovt at se, hvordan den nye er, og om det virkelig er en han?
Nå ja - og så er der det med navnet. Ret svært.

So far, they are getting along fine! I had 2 blue birds for the past 5-6 years, so I like the new green one. It will be fun to see how the new bird behaves and whether it is really a male?
Oh well - and then there is all the fuss about the name. Quite difficult.
