~Princess Mallorn Discusses Foreign Policy~

Hello, everyone, it's us again.

Hello! Before my slave--
---Mallorn!
Okay, before my loving mum explains WHY SHE'S LEAVING ME FOR TWO WEEKS--
I already apologized and gave you millet and read you a story and shredded you a carrot! I'M SORRY! And it's 12 days, not fourteen.
Well, YOU aren't stuck in SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE with an emotionally challenged Amazon parrot who probably wants to eat you!
You know what? t:
Fine. Anyways, I just thought I'd briefly discuss the situation of the world. As you can see in the map behind me, the world is very large and I don't think enough is being done to populate budgies on every continent.

Although there are well-known communities of wild budgerigars on Australia, as well as "reclaimed" pet populations living in the wild in places like Florida, California, and some Southern European countries, budgies should live harmoniously with everyone, everywhere.

Don't you agree?
Uhh, Mallorn?
What?
I don't think budgies can live in Antartica or Iceland or Russia in the wild.
Well, they can live in nice cozy homes!
Sorry but there'a aren't really people in the Arctic. It's too cold.
Well, what about the other animals?
They have special adaptations to live in the cold, Princess.
Well, they obviously are missing the best quality of life because there's no BUDGIES!

I know, I'm just adorable. That's why everyone should listen to me and get lots of budgies!
Well, you do know how to make a good demographic plan, I'll give you that.
You don't have to tell me, every Princess should know some foreign affairs! Oh, and did you hear that the price of millet has gone our the roof! We really need to look into redoing trade agreements tomorrow, okay?
You won't be here tomorrow, little one.
That's right.
I won't, will I?
I think it's time we move onto the next discussion of foreign affairs, aka WHY you would ever decide to leave ME for some measly visit to Germany!

Yeah, that's right, Mum. IN YOUR FACE!
Maybe I should explain this. Well, I'd like to start off by saying that in three days, I'm leaving for Europe (specifically Germany) and will be gone 12 days. Don't worry, I'm posting a link to this thread in the "Going to be away for awhile?" thread
Anyway, I'm super excited and also really worried about it since my little princess--
---everyone's favorite princess, actually--
has to stay here. So probably nobody remembers this, because it was in a thread like three months ago that about two people saw, but I mentioned that we had some friends who were "bird people" with an Amazon parrot named Bucky who was bonded to me, ect.
No? Okay.
Well, here's the basic biography of them:
They're a lovely couple who've had birds almost their whole time being married (a long time!) and have gone through many species, including budgies, tiels, canaries, and their ever-present Amazon parrot, Buckwheat. I call him Bucky, but anyways, he is--
Absolutely awful! He's huge and he screams so much and yells random scrambles of words like "HELLO" and "COME BACK" and screams like a fire engine and--
Alright, Mallorn, enough. I know you're mad, but--
AND he's in love with my Mum!
Alright, okay, that's true. Anyways, we babysat him for a month around June the year I got Mallorn, so she met him then. She hated how he always wanted me to himself so basically she doesn't really like him. At any rate, I'm comfortable leaving her with them because they know a lot of good avian vets in case of emergency, they have no other pets, and have experience with budgies--
Except not princesses of high caliber!
Well, they'll soon learn, I guess. I've known them for seven years and I want her to be in safe hands so, that's where she'll be! And don't worry, she's not going to be interacting with the parrot, they know not to do that.
Yeah, sure...
Don't be spiteful! I love you so much, and I will miss you terribly.
You better!
Well, I was going to post this earlier today, but because of the bustle, and packing, and such, I didn't get to until now. At this point, Mallorn is safely over to her temporary lodging facility, which she was not very pleased about. She was cross because I moved her toys when I was cleaning her cage, then she wouldn't go in and we had to leave so I had to pick her up, which she hated. I gave her millet and kisses but it was a good hour until she would talk to me.
Oh, and she hated the car ride. Hated it.
I made my mom drive so I could hold her cage in the back with me, and she was sulking the whole time while also looking terrified
I felt horrible, the other times she's been in a car she was in a small enclosed dark space.
Hopefully Bucky doesn't drive her too crazy, and I'm going to be in contact with her caretakers so they can keep me updated!
I probably won't be posting during that time, so I'll miss all of you!
My plane leaves Wednesday so I have a few more days here, so Mallorn can get used to where she is and they can call me up if anything is going wrong.
Oh, and warning: If you live in Germany, watch out! :spy: You all have lovely budgies :budgie:
Thanks for reading! Cheers
