Name: Mango
Morph: Peach-faced lovebird
Age: 1 1/2 yrs (RIP)
Likes: Chewing cardboard, biting plants, chewing dirt (not eating, chewing), biting my feet, screaming, scratching painting, chewing paper, dogs (I repeatedly had to take him off the dogs I have no idea wtf he was thinking but he never got so much as sniffed at)
Dislikes: Food (was Not motivated by anything), rainbow bracelet (apparently terrifying), fingers and hands
Oddities: We’re pretty sure he was a boy since he never displayed any nesting behaviours, including gathering strips of paper (he preferred to just chew them) but he was pretty aggressive when we first got him. To get him out of the cage to clean it I had to wear some cloth gloves to protect my hands and he was separated from a sibling for aggressive behaviour (including injuries) and was probably traumatized. He was kept in what amounted to a glass box that children could reach in and tap at as they pleased, was absolutely terrified of hands as a result (pro tip; mittens! Or offering an elbow instead of a hand) but he grew out of this, from biting all the time to only a few times a day all the way to biting only once every few weeks!
Notes: His cage is being deep cleaned for it’s future occupant, who I haven’t decided a name for yet, but am a nerd, so probably something from Shakespeare
