I had been keeping an eye out for lovebirds at the RSPCA. A few days ago one finally popped up. I brought him (her?) home day. He’s very scared of people, but I think he’ll come around. My biggest concern at the moment is diet, as he doesn’t seem to care much for vegetables and I’m not sure he’s eating his pellets much. Time will tell.

My house has definitely become louder now that Luna senses another lovebird.

Congratulations! :starshower1:

Ziggy is beautiful! :swoon:

How is Luna reacting to hearing him/her? Do you think she will be friendly with Ziggy?

Hard to tell with her. She’s definitely interested, as is Ziggy, but she always perks up when she hears other lovebirds. She still gets excited when she sees pictures of Anakin, and she could be a bit of a bully to him sometimes to the point where I still sometimes had to put the partition into their cage. Even getting to that point took a good 3 years or so. Friendship is generally on her terms only. That being said, she’s calmed down a lot since getting suprelorin implants, so maybe she’ll play nice? I’m certainly not banking on being able to put them together.

Maybe :) That would be sweet. Either way, I´m sure she´s super happy having a lovebird to talk to again, no matter where their relationship leads :)
Please do keep us updated on the pair of them :loveshower:

Thanks all. We're going to the vet on Friday as I've noticed he breaths a little heavy and has a slight tail bob. Then yesterday he decided to regurgitate for himself (just once) and my heart kept into my mouth a bit after what I went through with Ani. Probably nothing, but I'm not taking any chances.

It's a cork platform I got from a vendor here in Aus. They don't do them regularly, so I couldn't tell you where to get them here anymore. Some of the AA vendors probably have something similar :) @Macawnutz ?

Never done one but I certainly have everything here to do them. :) You could message me if you are interested in purchasing one.

The vet gave Ziggy the all clear to meet Luna. Everything looked fine, except he has a twisted nail on his right foot, possibly due to something congenital. We will get bloods next year when I take all three in for their annual to check his liver. For now, nothing urgent.

I introduced them the other night. They both seem to get along. Luna was her normal bossy self. He’s definitely still scared of people and he’s much more flighty than Luna, but he is much more willing to land on me now that he’s seen I won’t eat him.
