Dodger joins the flock

We’ve called him Little Blue since we got him (he’s a different, less green kind of blue than Belle) and now we’re starting to call him Dodger–we’ll see if that one sticks. But whatever his name, he is an energetic, adventurous and very young little parakeet–he’s been a lot of fun so far and already gets along well with Belle and well enough with (the very territorial) Sparty but the new bird is quite a handful when let out of the cage. Dodger just takes off, sort of flying but not really, swampboating his way along the floor until he hits–thud–the wall. When Belle is down with him things are much calmer as Dodger just follows Belle around the room.
