Budgies in a Kennel

Our evil landlords won't let us go month to month while we are (currently) in the process of buying a house, and while J has to work two time zones away (as a "stimulus worker, thanks Obama!), and as a result, for the next several weeks K has had to move into a hotel, and the budgies have had to be kenneled. Naturally we miss them terribly. However, the place boarding them seems very loving and highly competent; Animal Avian Hospital (Rice Village). They seem to really like budgies as well as other animals. I hope to go by and visit the budgies even though they are being housed. I was very reassured that they took pictures of all 4 of the budgies and gave me little magnets with the pictures in them. Sure, its a smart marketing gimmick, but the person who took the pictures was really excited about how cute they were.

The people sound like excellent friends for the flock. I am sure that the budgies will be excited to be in their new home!

BTW, wouldn't they be in an aviary, rather than a kennel? To me, kennel sounds like accommodation for dogs only. Budgies could visit, but not for an extended period.

good point re kennels! The word "kennel", in fact, comes from the word "canine", see http://www.thefreedictionary.com/kennel . However, note also that they say for synonyms, see "flock". Technically, the Avian Animal Hospital refers to the service as "boarding". I hope the budgies are really having some great conversations with their new friends! If i were truly free, I would have a giant budgie flock.
