came home with fischer lovebirds from the bird show

today was the Canadian National Bird show...I have been waiting months for this weekend, hoping and praying myself or Sarah would not be sick and miss it.

I came home today with just a gorgeous breeding pair of Fischer Lovebirds.
the male is Olive, and the female is dark green.

I named them Bosco & Pixel. they are so tired from being carted around from Guelph Ontario, which is a 2 hour drive, then being at the bird show, then to my home, the poor things are pooped right out. I put them in my aviary and they have settled right in for a good nap,lol

when I took this picture I woke them up.
Bosco (male) is on the right half asleep, and Pixel(female) is on the left.

I think they are just stunning!...and will produce beautiful babies

They're beautiful! I try not to bring anyone home when I go...lol....I was tempted to bring home a plucked citron cockatoo, I felt sorry for that bird....

Very beautiful!!!

Pretty. Look forward to more photos!

...lights out early tonight, it's not even 7pm.

I thought they could use the extra z's, and start fresh tomorrow.they seem quite happy in their new large cage, and that they can hide for now.
I have 4 months to get them into good health, before breeding.

I have to be honest, I LOVE a bird show, but it is so HARD on the birds....they are extremely stressed, being transported from place to a strange place, temperature differences, being grabbed by potential customers to view them, only to be either purchased or thrown back into the cage. this goes on Saturday and Sunday.

I also saw a breeder standing at a table with a lovebird wedged between his two fingers holding the bird so he wouldn't get bit....he stood there and talked to the vendor for about 5 minutes before putting the bird back....what an idiot....

I saw a pair of parrotlets today, literally hiding in the corner of a show cage(show cages are only about 10" long, and about 6-8" high) I felt so bad for these pair, they were absolutely terrified.

anyways, all I know is my pair have a good home

Beyond beautiful!

Congrats! They are darling! There was a bird expo this weekend but my aunt came down for the first time in 40 yrs. so it didn't work out. :/ But if anyone on here went I hope you all had a good time!

PS. I love their beautiful stunning colors!

beautiful birds

congrats ,very pretty little birds
