i live in toronto, canada.
no we do not live in igloos, and we get less snow than a lot of US states
unfortunately two budgees (indoor or tropical birds) escaped or were released - idiots. these budgees ganged up with the flock of chickadees (around 20) that live in my backyard.
they have been out since roughly october and fly with them, eat with them, etc.
i do a lot of fine wood working in my spare time and constructed a half dozen bird houses over the last couple months. dont know if the budgees use them or not, but i see many birds in and out of them aswell as the ivy alongside structures.
as a tropical bird, i first thought that they might have the instinct to go south, but they seem very content in their new pack of chickadees. its quite something.
i really hope they make it through the winter. the temps havent been that bad, coldest night was -13 but most nights are around -7
glad to hear the bird is safe.
cheers to animals being animals
