The Story of The Budge...
Years back, the Main family had a pet. A little white budgie. His name was simply, The Budge.
The Budge had quite the personality. He loved laughter, chirping along with laugh tracks on TV. He enjoyed a good stare down, which he always won with a slight head tilt. He loved hanging out with his plastic cage mate and gazing out the window. Overall, The Budge was a pleasant addition to the family.
One sunny day, Mr. Main decided to make the most of the beautiful weather and clean The Budge's cage outside… And with one swift swoop and The Budge was gone.
The cage was left outside, door open, in hopes of The Budge’s return but The Budge had other plans.
The next week, a family friend saw a white budgie with some sparrows... and so the legend grew...
The Budge's next steps would be to learn the ways of the carrier pigeon and start a whole career for himself, delivering lighthearted, colourful designs as the one and only, Carrier Budge.
