Hi Just thought i would say hello
I've been kept by a few birds over some thirty years and find I they never stop being fascinated by me and visa versa. Lucky thing that. I find lovebird social dynamics incredibly interesting and fluid. I've had the privilege to live with many lovebirds, rainbow lorikeets as well as a few Jardine's parrots.
At the moment I just have two peach faced love birds keeping me enthralled. One has a very long long history and is very old, she must be at least twenty now. She has been in her time an absolute terror, a companion, a saviour , a wicked aunty, single mother and devoted parent in a threesome. She wears her feathers like a low hanging cape and is lovely pied green and yellow. The other has only been around a month, she is also a she and has had me in hysterics the minute she arrived. She's a shocking, pale neon, pastel green with a blood red face. She arrived to keep the old lady company and excels at doing that with unbelievable gusto. She is quite young and is an unbelievably good mimic for a lovebird. In fact for the first three weeks she only made sounds like a cockatiel and a telephone and seemed to want to say everything straight back at me. I have my suspicions that she was either raised from an egg by a cockatiel or bonded with one as tweeny chick.
Well thats my birdie story right now. I also love song-birds in the wild and as pets. I've never kept one but many people do around here. Our forests are full of them and their song is a tonic. At moment "white rumped shaman" have me in absolute awe in the early evenings. These are escaped cage birds that have settled and been around here for many years, such that most think they're native now. They have unique individual and regional songs that are spell binding, just as in the name "shaman".
