While animal experts agree that budgies (and any kind of parrot) are social animals that should be kept in flocks in fairly large cages, many bird owners, i.e. the stereotypical lonely old lady, still think of them as some sort of cat substitute.

There are probably still a large number of old ladies around who keep a solitary budgie in a small, confined cage with a huge number of colorful plastic toys and feed it an unhealthy diet.

Unfortunately, this may drive the bird into behavioural illnesses, such as self mutilation, screaming incessantly or trying to mate with inanimate objects, as well as physical problems such as obesity.

These old ladies and their lonesome birds remind me of something, I just can't put my finger on it...

That is indeed Chris.

I've never heard of an obese bird though
 
I laughed harder at this than I should of.
 
"Chris the Pet Budgie" is a possible candidate if I ever grow tired of "Our Pet Lolcow" for wordfiltering [C-Chan].
 
Protocol and forum regulations require someone to now create a drawing of Chris as an obese, autistic and beclownshirted budgie in a cage next to barb
 
This reminds me of a rather disturbing thought I had about Chris' relationship with Barb recently.

From what we hear about Barb, she really isn't very nice to Chris at all. She uses him to fetch and carry for her, keeps him on a very short leash and threatens to kick him out the house if he steps out of line.

Chris' very meek acceptance of this reminds me of the attitude of a victim towards an abusive partner. It's even more disturbing when you consider that Chris' sweetheart search is essentially him just looking for a replacement for Barb.
 
I used to give my pet budgie cuttle bones as a dietary supplement. Those would do wonders for Chris's teeth. :o
 
Maybe Chris chan would actually be better off as an actual pet.

Nah... Who would want to keep a pet that kept shitting itself?

...the idea of Chris forgetting his toilet training amuses me for some reason.

MiHiVidz once had a video titled "Chris Chan Vs a Budgie". The Budgie turned out to be more charming and intelligent.

Perhaps the whole Tomgirl thing is a way of asserting independence. Could he be going through an emotional (as opposed to physical) adolescence where he is maturing a bit mentally?

Well, asserting independence from whom? Barb? Nope. Society? Eh, I don't think Chris ever thought of himself as being a part of society. It was always him against the world.

He doesn't have anyone to assert independence from. Well, maybe Barb. But he's too much of a pussy to disobey her. And really, she was the one who hated his tomgirl shit the most.

Also he's just as immature as he's always been.
