Hi all,
First, thank you for a great informational message board. It’s truly a goldmine of information. I have a female Dutch Blue lovebird named Butch. She’s close to two years old and very happy and healthy. I hope to keep her that way, but next month I will be getting a new puppy which is obviously a lifestyle change for both bird and owner.
I’m hoping to make the introduction and acclamation the least stressful and seamless as possible for Butch. I’m hoping you may be able to provide some insight on this as I’m sure many of you have other pets aside from birds.
Here’s a little back story on Butch: She was handfed as a baby and is very tame. She’s finger tamed and I’ve earned her complete trust, as she will lie on her back in my hand and let me pet her tummy with her little birdie feet sticking in the air. She rarely bites, but is very territorial if you give her anything resembling a box.
Thank you for your time and comments! :)
