Well.... after several months of being birdless, and after meeting 3 or 4 larger parrots who just did not seem like a good match, hubby and I decided to go in a new (to us) direction and have adopted a wee baby lovebird!
We found a lovely breeder in the next state and waited (im)patiently for him to be weaned.
He’s almost 8 weeks old and is a little blue ball of floof!
He is settling in well. Seems more comfortable every day and is playing, exploring, singing and eating like a horse!:blue2:

Very tolerant of hands in his cage, as long as those hands are not coming in his direction. Likes to come out for a fly and to look around. Seems very sweet. Have had first vet visit and awaiting DNA results. :)

Please welcome baby Murphy!

How dare you post this exciting news with no pictures!! ;)

Congrats on the new addition! I myself have played with the idea of a larger bird but yet I am content with my little cockatiels :)

Congratulations! How gorgeous :)
Lovie's were never my thing, but my daughter was determined. She spent a few years saving for the bird and all the bits and bobs, and he's come and stolen our heart! He's the king of our flock, beautiful and bright in colour, talks pretty darn well and snuggles under the neck, with all the cost and poop advantages of a smaller package. She's only 9 now, but it's going to be more than a little tough if she ever took him with her when she leaves!
