Well you are the lovie whisperer@Aubrey She's just so pitiful!
When Termie was a baby, I had to split antibiotic duty with my ex (his former owner) so he wouldn't dislike only one of us. Didn't change the outcome at all! The little monster has adored me practically his entire life.
Well, these guys seem to like me, at any rate. I wish I had magical lovie powers - like the ability to speak to them somehow so I could explain about medicine and such!Well you are the lovie whisperer
I haven't had to give Luna meds before (holy moly I don't even want to think about how much drama that would be), but clipping her nails is her least favourite thing. It's so distressing for her, being wrapped up a little in a scarf, and she struggles and screams as though the world is ending the whole time. The moment I let her go, she's makes a beeline for my neck to snuggle and be consoled. Breaks my damn heart.@Aubrey She's just so pitiful!

Magic lovie powers sounds amazing. "Really truly, bird, the raspberry is not going to kill you."Well, these guys seem to like me, at any rate. I wish I had magical lovie powers - like the ability to speak to them somehow so I could explain about medicine and such!
That's why I have someone else trim their nails! Too harrowing to think of that x6 (now x8)! Oh yes, medicine is such epic drama. It's very hard to be responsible for their distress, necessary or not. It's a good thing Miss Luna doesn't see you as being blameworthy for the evil trimming!I haven't had to give Luna meds before (holy moly I don't even want to think about how much drama that would be), but clipping her nails is her least favourite thing.

LOL!! The food conversations we would have! We'd definitely have some hot topics there. I'd talk about the berry hatred & discarding of greens as well, plus how they need to eat their pellets and give sprouts a chance!Magic lovie powers sounds amazing.

Adoration of the whisperer ..... Like I said@Aubrey She's just so pitiful!

Don't say that you're perfect in your Lovie's eyes@Aubrey OH BOY, I can imagine how well it works out to have the hated towel on your head!
While all birds are quite attentive and observant, I'm convinced that lovebirds are particularly sensitive to how they are approached. Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel certain that they somehow pick up on the fact that I accept and love them whether they bite me or like me or not. I habitually kiss and tuck even lovies I've just met against my face and neck (as long as they're not afraid). I'm not afraid of being bitten, though of course I try to avoid having them feel they need to bite and making any associations with biting being something they should do!
I'm thinking that being the crazy and very single lovebird lady is my future, lol. The people I've dated just don't seem to get how important these fluffs are to me. I'm getting too old (and am already far too imperfect) to find love anyway!
Uh huh, exactly - in the eyes of my lovies, not people! If I had to choose between never having lovies or never having a partner, though, I'd choose never having a partner! It may be a moot point at any rate as I'm a smart (and apparently odd) lesbian living on the coast of Nearly Nowhere who doesn't look like Barbie AND has geeky hobbies! Oh, and let's not forget that I'm "caretaker of the swarm"! I'm doomed.Don't say that you're perfect in your Lovie's eyes
And never say never
But you sure do have a great sense of humor. If I was a lesbian, I'd date youUh huh, exactly - in the eyes of my lovies, not people!

Thank you, that's quite flattering. I appreciate the vote of confidence!But you sure do have a great sense of humor. If I was a lesbian, I'd date you
Boo is definitely the worst I've encountered when I had to give meds, and at the highest frequency, too. It's tough. Very stressful because it's so important.I truly feel for you @fluffypoptarts I can't even imagine what you are having to deal with right now. I have to give Gracie 0.012 a day right now and she is hating it with a passion. This morning she spit it right back up and had me so worried. I am hoping tomorrow after her follow-up it will be the last day for her.
Today is her last dose. Yes!Sorry boo bear is still being a bear about meds. You said 8 birdies...did i miss something?
