This Frosty is no snowman

An odd memory from Australia is that of a budgie.
A sweet looking white and blue budgie called Frosty
A sweet looking budgie with all the instincts of an axe wielding serial killer, a peregrine falcon and a velociraptor.

Not a lot really

Except for one little thing....

His play instincts would put Hannibal Lecter to shame.

His wings seemed to be tipped with razor blades and there was a chainsaw hidden in his beak

This budgie was a killer on wings.

Yet he was liked by all.

I ended up quite attached to the killer Frosty.
