The next episode has been delayed, but not for too long, hopefully
______________________

Sorry, everyone, but I have had to delay the release of this year’s April Fools special (making it, once again, a Late-pril Fools special). I am halfway done with the research, but I had schoolwork to do this weekend, and I am leaving for a week-long school trip this Friday, so I won’t have time to work on it this coming weekend (I get back at night next Thursday). But I promise I will release it before summer break, or Chet and Cap will take it over by force!

What should you feed budgies? Does Houdini have some feathered competition? Why should you adopt pets instead of buying them? What things on the market for budgies should you actually avoid? Today, on the first-ever KA interview episode, Devon, Chet, and Cap welcome Amy Yee, volunteer at Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue (where Devon adopted Budgly and Rex), to talk about everything there is to know about pet budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus, and some other pet birds.

This episode is in part for Podcasthon, an initiative in which 1,300+ podcasts are doing an episode that educates listeners about a nonprofit of their choice. I chose to highlight Mickaboo, a bird rescue based in California. You can find an overview of what they do and donate if you want to support their mission at https://podcasthon.org/charities/mickaboo. If you do donate, please email me at animals@kingdomanimaliapod.com! I’d love to hear that I’m making an impact.

This is the third part of the Budgerigar. For the first and second parts (on wild budgies), go to the previous episodes in the feed.
