EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming image from the 1930s featuring two blue budgerigars (also known as budgies) sitting comfortably on a wooden perch. The blue budgerigars, with their vibrant plumage and distinctive markings, have been popular pets for generations, making them a beloved addition to many households. In this photograph, the budgies are shown in their natural habitat, surrounded by simple yet rustic decor. The bowl of food in the foreground suggests that these birds are well cared for and content. The tintex blocks in the background add an interesting texture to the image and provide a sense of depth. The history of budgerigars as pets can be traced back to the late 1800s, but they truly gained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s. During this time, they were often featured in pet care manuals, magazines, and even yearbooks like this one. This particular print, with its timeless quality and attention to detail, is a testament to the enduring appeal of these delightful birds. The photograph is credited to Herbert Reiach, a Scottish photographer known for his work in the 1930s. His expertise in capturing the beauty and character of animals, particularly birds, is evident in this image. The print itself is in excellent condition, with the rich blue tones of the budgies' feathers and the warm wood tones of the perch and blocks standing out vividly against the muted background. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office, but also a fascinating glimpse into the history of pet ownership and the popularity of budgerigars during the 1930s.
