Chanel is a six-year-old budgie with a bright yellow head, and every morning she sings from the balcony rail while I water the plants. Down at the soi gate there is a brown street dog who sleeps beside the parked motorbikes. Lately he wakes up whenever she starts chirping, so I started calling him Brownie.
Some practical tips from me: keep the cage out of direct afternoon sun, bring her in when the rain comes sideways, and wipe the perch every few days. Budgies get bored easily, so a small mirror or a bell keeps them busy.
Please don't hand-feed strays if you have small birds at home, since fleas and mites can travel. Chanel and Brownie only talk through the railing, and that suits us both.
Our Bobo used to chirp back at the birds on the balcony every morning, so this story hit close to home. It's sweet that the soi dog keeps waiting for her.

tip: put the cage a bit inside so the soi dog cannot see it from the gate, my pla barked at birds the whole time before this.

Ha, a budgie and a soi dog as best friends, that's the cutest thing I've read all week.

I'd be careful feeding the street dog, mine would start following strangers. But the budgie sounds like a lovely morning routine.
