Here is a story with not one but two happy endings. Mr Mike Peel, who lives in Brixham (just down the road from Torquay) and keeps buddies, 140 buddies. Anyway a few days ago he went into the shed to clean it out. Half way through he popped out for a cup of tea and 4 of his buddies made a break for freedom. One if them decided to have a day out in Torquay and headed across the Bay, the silly thing should have go a number 12, not as exciting but more reliable. Half a mile out the poor little thing became exhausted to fly and decided to swim the rest of the way. Unfortunately buddies come from one of the driest places on the planet and most of them never learn to swim so things look black for our little blue hero splashing about in two foot high waves. Then Captain Nemo surfaced next to him just in the nick of time. Actually it was a party of divers and being kind hearted they rescued the budgie who ended up being called Captain and having his picture on the front page of the local paper. A day or two later he was reunited with a delighted Mr Peel.
There is more. I mentioned that 4 of Mr Peel’s budgies had escaped. A family living near Mr Smith in Brixham noticed a group of seagulls in their back garden mobbing a small bird. They all rushed out and saved a second of Mike Peel’s budgies from ending up as a snack for a seagull.
Isn’t that nice?
