Are you going to be getting Boo boo a mate too?

Sorry you had to split your flock up. I know it must have been heart wrenching to do but I know Mr. Thumper and Diva are going to be keeping you very busy it seems.

I think Lola is a perfect name. Not sure how to add a link. @SandraK could you find What Lola wants from Damn Yankees.

Yes Boo-BOO's mate is next, after Xmas. That's the ironic part. The same breeder who sold me Miss Diva, also sold me BOO-BOO two years ago ( although BOO BOO is a WBC)

Here's the fun part. She warned me at the time that BOO BOO is a bully. Hes BIG, hes BOUNCY, and he forces his way.

Hes also a darling cuddlebug for the humans,, and the only caique who will hop on command for me. He doesnt truly realise that hes being a Bully, hes just being himself, but when I hear squeals of protest in the avairy, I know who is the cause.

So in general conversations with the breeder, I said I wanted 2 females. One each for Boo Boo and Thumper, but BOO BOOs mate must be a B*tch. She will have to be to share a nextbox with him and put up with his attitude.

You guessed it. She sent me Miss Diva thinking it was Thumper who wanted the BFH ( Beautiful thing from HELL)

So now what?

I need ANOTHER Diva for BOO BOO

Here he is - just being himself!

 

[SandraK]

Love that foot action! "Go away, he's MINE."

You've got to smile a little JP, you're always so serious ...

 

[Irishj9]

Lol concentrating on getting the pic. That's one of my favourite pic.

It captures boo boos personality perfectly.

Beautiful. Funny. Shameless

 

[SandraK]

Reminds me too much of my gccs - totally shameless!

 

[Irishj9]

Well just made it home after a 14 hour drive. Miss Diva doesn't know what to make of me yet lol

Why don't you let the BTFH have a choice between TFB and BooBoo and see who she likes best?
Keeping her happy will be the only smooth path to babies.

If I remember correctly they are different subspecies. Thumper is a green thigh and BooBoo is a white belly with yellow thighs. But I am pretty sure I will be corrected if I am wrong.

Looks like she's sizing you up JP.

 

[Irishj9]

Well she let's me change her food and water with no panic.
She just leans back a little like she don't want me to get too close.

Pretty normal reaction of any female to me, in my experience lol

 

[zoo mom]

Wow!

Great memory!

Thumper Fuzz Butt is one of my favorite nephews. I watched him grow up from an eggie. And was really worried about him when his parents quit feeding him and @Irishj9 had to hand feed. His sibling didn't make it

 

[Familyof12]

I'm in love with Caiques. They are so much fun!! Their personalities never leave me bored. I can't stop laughing at them! Thank you for sharing your photos!!!

 

[metalstitcher]

Best picture ever lol he has the foot down with the "Your in my shot"

Miss. Diva is very pretty but you can tell she is keeping an eye on you for sure in that photo.

How are things going with them now? Are they still having a mini stand off at a distance?
