The photo below is the last I have of the budgie which has been living wild in my garden and surrounds since April 6th this year. On July 1st when I took the photo it had unusually flown in while I was sitting on my back step, most times it would circle and leave till I went indoors. On July 2nd it was seen often sitting on the ground apparently sun-bathing but on July 3rd it was lethargic and I was able to approach it but it was still feeding on seed I'd put on the ground. It hasn't been seen since and perhaps appropriately for a free spirit it probably died on July 4th, Independence Day.

"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest budgie gives up but with life itself"
The price paid for 3 months of freedom.
