Hello everybody! This is my first post on the forum, and I thought that I should share my lovies here.

11791619_10152870006176783_2013714575_n.jpg 11791820_10152870006206783_1975837576_n.jpg 11798334_10152870006196783_287265483_n.jpg
This is Rainbow, she is 1 years old; a feisty little busybody. She packs a painful bite, thus I've donned gloves to handle her as you can see. She hadn't been socialized when i adopted her and all my attempts to do so till date hasn't been successful. She also seems to know the difference between a gloved hand and a bare hand. Never bit a gloved hand ever! She doesn't like bare hands -period.

Meet Michael (Michelle :p), he is 2 months old, tame and shy, never bites. I got Micheal when he was 3 weeks old, and he weaned about 2 weeks ago. Young little fella.

This lil Princess is Elsa! She/He is 4 months old, I got her a week ago. Elsa loves human contact and nibbles at my fingers on occasion. She is hyper active and very inquisitive, loves to bathe and loves to explore new foods. She also seems to love my gold rings. (and no, I'm not holding her by the head in the last photo, she's perched on my forefinger and exploring the 'hole' created by my thumb and forefinger)


These are my lovies (for now).

On a tangent, does anyone happen to know what mutations they are? Lovebird genetics is making my head blow up. ):

Welcome. Your lovies are beautiful. I have no clue about mutations. @Monica @Michaelg should be of some help in that area also @Anfsurfer .

Welcome! Rainbow looks like a cinnamon peach faced to me. Michael is a single dark factor white faced blue peach faced. Elsa looks like a single dark factor, single violet factor, white faced opaline peach faced.

I'm feeling the warm welcome! Haha.. They are just adorable aren't they? :)

And @expressmailtome thanks a bunch! I've been wondering if Michael's an opaline or not. (Sorry if I'm not making sense)

He does look that way in the third picture, but I was not positive.

Very pretty birdy!

Is that one of those orchid baskets? That metal is almost certainly unsafe. You should replace it with something intended for birds...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was wondering the same when i put it in last morning!
When in doubt, post to AA! :) If you need any swing suggestions, I can link you to several I like. Various AA vendors have them. Different materials, too.

Rainbow has started regurgitating for both Elsa and Michael! The feeding is only one way though. She preens them and nests with them as well. I wonder if she sees them as her own chicks. Anyone else experienced your lovies regurgitating for more than one bird?

Edit: she has never laid eggs before although she's over a year old. I'm just assuming that it's a she.
