My little budgie has been dead a long time. For the past 8 yrs I've had a red bellied parrot named Beau. Beau was here before Emiliano came to live with us and he does not like him. He will dive bomb him every chance he gets, he also mimics me and will yell at him "Emiliano, get in the den" when he dares to walk into what he perceives to be his space

They are standard size - not Show/English. Rio is 3 1/2 - a pale blue with a white head & Bow is 2 - a skyblue yellowface so yellow his blue is now green except in small areas. They are a lot of fun - we have them out of the cage all day - mostly they stay in their room on top of their cage or gym - but they get so excited when someone comes home. Bow loves to ride around on my shoulder - all day if I let him. Rio is always pulling my hair so he can kiss my cheek. All this is pretty much untrained! I really hope a small dog won't be a problem with them - I hope I can train the dog to leave them alone. I'll be in trouble & upset if a new pet causes problems :( From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 1:58:26 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Budgies? I adore them, once had a champion talker named Bunkie, I have hours of tape of him talking and carrying on conversations with me. He lived 6 yrs and I miss him still. Gloria -----Original Message----- From: jacehomeart <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, Nov 4, 2010 10:27 am Subject: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Ears - Is there a corrct size? Head shape - I like both but was puzzled when I saw the differences. When someone mentioned the 'fox' head I was intrigued - had only ever heard of the 'apple'. If nothing else the standard for Chihuahuas seems to be a healthy mix. I have noticed that some breeders have the smaller eared dogs and they tend to be 'apple heads'. Some dogs seem to have really big ears- all are seriously cute. Nice for us owners - we can have a choice. It all seems moot as I will be getting a rescue - but already I can see all the variations. Coats, ears, head, colouring.....makes me think they are more like my Budgies LOL
