The late Victor the Budgie came up with a good speech on the rudeness of people see the link below:

He was not far wrong in his assessment of how we behave around the little ones.  We make rude noises,  questionable comments and heaven knows that they make of  our "smells".  Some the budgies on the BRG have been known to say "Excuse Me!" when such things occur, we forget that we should be the ones saying "Excuse Me" to them. 

They understand context only too well and will come out saying things we really do not what the outside world to hear or know about.  The saying is: "Be careful what you wish for, it will come true." Our saying should be: "Be careful what you say and do, it will come back to haunt you, via BUDGIES."

Thank you Victor the Budgie for reminding us that we owe you the same respect that we owe all sentient beings. 

From Joey and Josie:  "WAY TO GO, VICTOR!"
