@ cupoftea We had to boy lovies who eventually went to a home where they were the only birds and they could help students learn to play the piano. Marco was a very good little boy but lonely in a flock with no other lvies. Polo came home to keep Marco company and all he wanted to do was become a Quaker when he grew up. Polo stalked JJ to the point where I was afraid for Polo's life. Marco was quietly trailing Polo everywhere because he wanted his company.
When Marco and Polo went to live with Julie's mom, the comment my husband made was: "Wow, I neaver realized how noisy the lovies were". I'm not saying that the gccs (or anyone else in the flock) are quiet but the lovies "peeped" their way wherever they went. The gccs will whine (in a heart wrenching, really pitiful way) when they want something ... like out of their cage ... they can be noisy, do talk and have very strong opinions about everything. They are also known for what I call the "Mick Jagger" strut
- I swear they put their hands on their hips with their elbows sticking out, tuck their chins in to their chests, puff everything up (as much as possible for a gcc) and flare their tail feathers.
NB: I haven't seen Jagger be able to flare his tail feathers
