I don't take anyone super serious when they tell me they're bringing me a bird. He just called and is on his way with a Lovebird. Looks like a Violet Black Masked Lovebird from the picture. I'll take some pictures when I get home. I haven't dealt with Lovebirds in years....we'll see how this goes....

Lovebirds are very entertaining! I've got two and we call them the "spidermonkeys" because they are partners in crime and crawl everywhere getting up to mischief.
They were pretty nippy with the other birds but have stopped that now. The budgie has befriended them :)

Beautiful! I love when any lovebird has any sort of blue in them. I just like birds with blue in them period....but then again i'm a bit biased :p

Yeah he's nice. What a sweetie pie! Are you going to let him fly around the house?

He seems to be very nice! I'll give it a try to see how he does. I was expecting to get bit when I was getting him out of the cardboard box but he just step right up my fingers. Then I released him into his cage, he ate then went to the swing. He's chirping a bit right now. He can't be out right now cause I have my baby tiels on me, they're preening my hair.....

I socialize the babies quite a bit when they wean, I usually have babies on my shoulder while on the computer. Unless they want to be nosey and get on the keyboard. Or chewing up paper and stuff on the desk. Babies are fun, but a lot of work. It's a daily thing. Good thing I love'em. I'm not looking forward to have 8 babies on me though, that would be a hassle....I like to keep the amount small so I get to spend quality time training them one by one. But unfortunately two pairs are going at it at the same time and it would be another 8 babies again by end of next month....:eek:

They love keyboard keys and paper. Rocky pulls keys right off, in a matter of seconds! He looks so cute when he's naughty...I know that's bad...but as soon as my husband says "no" he listens to him. He doesn't listen to me. He started chewing the coffee table and I'm like "how cute" and my husband said no and he stopped straight away :)

Lol yeah I know Mikey..I don't let him do it, but it takes him a millsecond to jump from my shoulder and then he has a key in his mouth :( He really needs some discipline lol

I know what you mean, when they're determined to get to something they will kept at it until they get what they want. These two babies haven't started that yet but we'll see....lol
