Budgerigar
Budgerigars, also commonly known as budgies, are among one of the most popular, well-known, and most homed parrots in the world. It might come as a shock to some of you that something so small is considered a parrot, and specifically budgerigar are classified under the family Psittaculidae, or as we more commonly know this family; parakeets. There exist many different kinds of parakeets, some of them big, and some of them small—like the budgie.
Growing Up In the 90s
Growing up in the 90s was a fun time! I miss the good old days of playing with the infamous Skip-It toy and eating Sodalicious fruit snacks—boy… those were the days! I grew up in a simpler time, where we had dial-up internet instead of Wifi, and VHSs instead of DVDs.

Odds are you've seen at least one black cat in your life, but was that cat fully black? A lot of the "black" cats you see today have white spots or patches on their fur, usually the chest or stomach. Why is that? To explain we are going to have to take a small trip back in time.
Best Small Dogs for Families
If you are new to dog ownership, or if you are a family who lives in city apartments, then small dogs are probably what you should be focusing in on. Petite, friendly, and generally considered easy to train, most small dogs are good companions for families of every size — and in every type of neighborhood.

My house is dirty. Yes, I know. You're all thinking, "Surely not so much. Mine is much worse. Etc, etc." But believe me, it is dirty. At first glance, it does not look like it. But I have moved recently, and I've taken a few surprises.
A Little Closure
I think it's reasonable to guess that almost everyone in the world has experienced a situation in which they have received no closure. Whether it be an incident, a relationship, an experience, an addiction or lifestyle, I believe we all have dealt with something that moved us deeply and created a wound which refuses to close. In fact, I think it's safe to say the majority of people have experienced several things in their life in which closure seems out of reach.

My favorite podcast is playing as I clean my room, a comedy podcast that distracts me from the endless mess I’m trying to work my way through. Above me, a cockatiel is happily chirping and tossing empty seed casings at me. It’s time for me to take a break, so I stop the podcast and go next door to a room currently functioning as Loud Bird Prison.

What’s family and why does it even exist? Does family still have value and importance? Is family something we all need or even truly want? These are only just a few questions I ponder in my own reflection upon life as I observe “the family” I branch from as well as other families I see. So much happens in life and the lives we all live. Some things have quick answers and others may take quite some time to connect the dots to for answers. From the previous questions I asked before, I would answer family is important because it’s the starting foundation of life and, if handled with the right essential care, it can be something extremely beautiful to experience. Unfortunately, not so many people come from a functional, well-balanced family. We all may have heard the old saying that everything starts at home. This statement has some validity towards everyone’s upbringing within life, but my question would be where do some families go wrong or get off track so to speak? Are some broken families beyond repair, or is the root issue much deeper on a spiritual and mental level? I personally see and acknowledge that, of course, everyone’s perception is not going to be the same for obvious reasons, but what should be the same is the genuine love, happiness, and joy that everyone should display as well as share with others.
