For those of you who do not know, I first got Link for a Xmas present, he/she is great but very bitey!!! I thought Link was showing hen signs by stuffing paper in her rump, but she has only done this twice. In the mean time I had been reading all this great stuff about GCC's. So, I found a breeder that had GCC babies for sale. Then I thought, well if Link is a girl, I'd get her a boyfriend, since I was getting this GCC right??? Not that I would be spending any less time with her, but I just wanted her to have a buddy! Well, I went to the breeders house to pick out my new baby GCC, and she showed me this little lovie that she "thought from pelvic exam" was a male. Well, "he" was caged with his sibling that just cried and cried when we took him out of the cage!!! I felt SO horrible!!!! I didn't take my GCC home that day because he was just a baby but I took home Zelda(lovie) and he/she kinda gets along with Link(first lovie) Link is definatley the "head" bird!!! Well then the breeder kept sending pictures of the new GCC's and she had put the littlle "leftover lovie" in with the GCC babies. I knew they were all getting sold and this baby would be left alone again!!! So, I said I would take it! I had it caged with my GCC until yesterday, when I realized the GCC is bonding with the lovie instead of me! So, I broke them up, and it is breaking my heart, listening to them, and watching them......did I do the right thing???I know, I would have to eventualy split them, but it sems SO harsh!!!!!!!!!! I have the siblings caged together and they seem to be tolerating each other!!! The GCC has a huge cage but I just bought him a bigger one, so, I'm gonna transfer the lovies to (Merlins) the GCC's cage.
