I will start with my bio.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer Sept 2017, had double mastectomy Oct 31, 2017, chemo began Jan 2018. I was told I could no longer keep my bird, so I had to rehome my parrotlet (hatched May 15, 2016) that my husband bought as a gift for me - and he isn’t crazy about birds so this one was very special to me.

I gave my parrotlet - Noodle to my friend & she kept for 4 months & could not handle him so she sold him, after asking me if it was ok. I thought I was fine with that decision, but I wasn’t. I decided to go against drs order & bring Noodle home BUT that same day she had a buyer for him. I was devastated.

I know finding a good parrotlet is difficult so I was going to go the lovebird route & 2 weeks ago I found a baby lovebird that hatched Jan 16, 2018. He is a doll. I am still trying to name him.

NOODLE update: yesterday my friend called & asked if I wanted Noodle back because the family said Noodle is too LOUD - go figure, my obnoxious Noodle LOUD - of course he is!!! So yay, whoop, whoop, I can whip away my tears - NOODLE IS COMING HOME NEXT WEEK!!!!

I don’t know how Noodle is going to act with another bird in the house but I know there will be no interacting. Noodle would definitely injure the lovie.

P'lets and lovies have the biggest and the most fearless personalities. :)

It's part of what makes them so special...;)

I'm so happy for you that Noodle is coming home. Two little terrors will keeps you on your toes, LOL. I had a good friend that was having health problems and she had three poodles. She made a hard choice to find a home for one of her poodles. She found a home for the dog but then instantly regretted it. Long story short two years later the people that took her called my friend and asked if she wanted her back. So she got her little dog back just before Christmas Day.........best Christmas ever for her. Welcome to AA

What cute, sweet babies! Even if they don't interact, I hope they enjoy having another bird nearby for company.
