About 4 years ago, when I first began breeding lovebirds, one of my first clutches contained some Dutch Blues and a couple of creaminos. Two of the DB's I sold to a guy named Mike, who re-named them "Ben" and "Gerry" aka the icecream. (We had called them Darcy and Tucker)
Anyway, Mike called me a week ago, and my first instinct was to panic (whats wrong, are they ok, who died etc). Mike had called simply to ask if I'd be interested in 'birdy sitting' for a couple of weeks while his family went to FLA on vacation. I'd birdie sat for him last Xmas too...
SOOOO, Guess who's sittin on my shoulders as I type this while I'm at work on the puter??? :happy: :happy:
They're so sweet and have retained their tameness and gentleness. They look wonderful and they're the only birds this guy owns, so Im ok with bringing them in my house. They won't be staying in the aviary, but in our living room.
Ben is the girl, she can throw you a mean bite if you don't pay her attention when she wants it. Gerry is so sweet and he cat-calls me when he wants to know where I am:) Ben is affectionate in her own way, ie: she remembered skritches immediately and paused for a few seconds to get a good rubbin behind her ear. Then, WHAM, I got the beak LOL
Anyway, I'll be on later tonight with more braggins' LOL
