Official Entry! I had been looking for a bird for a while, and I was in a local pet shop trying to decide what kind of bird I wanted. I was leaning towards a Caique, and then the owner of the shop pulled out a little lovebird called Pudding. She was adorable, very used to being handled and super cute! She had been with another family, but they had to move away and she was being rehomed. I went away to think about it, came back the next day to get her and was told she had already gone. Not surprised!
That is when the breeder told me she had some peach-faced lovebirds that she was hand-rearing. Did I want one of those when they were ready? I was like, hell yes! So, the first time I actually saw Salvador was the day I brought her home from the breeder. She came to me instantly and jumped up on my shoulder. And that was it! She used to sleep under my hair, and cuddle into my neck. It's funny looking back and seeing her dark beak and pale face.
P.S. Her name is Salvador because I thought she was a he, until we had a clutch of eggs back in 2023 haha

) working her as helper. Oddly she was so happy here. Her ego got such a big boost. She taught me how to crochet with helpful beak and talons. It was far more difficult learning computer with her around.
I take it that you'd like to make this one your official entry?
