Hi. I am new here with a new baby male LB.

Hello all, nice to meet everyone.

I am May and I am from Toronto, Canada. I dont have much experience with birds, but have been looking at getting one for a number of years. I moved out of my parents house (a house of 4 dogs) and finally decided to get a bird. After much searching on the rehoming side, I found a little Lovebird that had stolen my heart.

So my little rascal is Zazu, he is a baby 6 month old "peach-faced but not really" Lovebird. He is a mix of 3 different colorations (Lutino, Dutch blue and Nyasa), but I love how confused be makes people and how he has a stripe across his peach face. He has been giving me a great deal of difficulty as a new and inexperienced owner but he has a hilarious personality that I can't help but love him over.

While he is a fantastic talker and apparently handled by his previous owner, he is absolutely terrified of hands and interacting with humans and even stepping up has been a huge issue (target training is fine though). Not sure if that counts as tame or not. I look forward to everyone's advice and sharing this journey I am going on with him.

Welcome May and Zazu, thanks for joining! Not familiar with lovebirds, but you may consider this thread helpful: http://www.parrotforums.com/general-parrot-information/49144-tips-bonding-building-trust.html

Welcome to you both! Zazu is adorable. Lots of great learning here...read, ask questions....great people and lots of experiences to share. Look forward to hearing more!

First thought that popped into my brain was “awwwww what a little cutie!” Welcome to you and Zazu

Welcome to you both! Somebody who sold you your lovie probably knows almost nothing about mutations and species. Your lovie is a hybrid between peach faced and Nyasa (if I wrote the name correctly). Dutch blue and lutino are mutations of peach faced and your lovie is none of them. Only one of parents was
