Hi everyone! I'm back!! I've just been SO preoccupied with other things and never had a chance to come back to this forum until now!
Well, Louie, my peach faced, is a very tame bird, lets you hold him upside down, steps up, doesn't like to land on me so much as being handled, but he never bites or anything like that. I recently adopted another Lovie who is something like Lou's Nephew/neice-haven't named it yet, though it was previously called "Sumo". S/he is VERY skittish, bites, doesn't like people even approaching the cage, etc, etc. Anywho, since I am SO out of touch with the Lovie world, I was wondering how I should introduce the two birds? Um....I haven't put him in my cage for him yet as the previous owners are staying with us and don't need/want their cage until they leave. I have "Sumo's" cage in the same room with Louie's right now so they can see and hear eachother, but I haven't really tried to introduce them. What do you guys think I should do? I want to tame him, but I don't have enough time to spend with each of the birds seperately right now; not until after school starts, anyway. Should I try to introduce them adn tame him at the same time? I dunno, I've never had to introduce two birds that tend to be agressive to new comers (only finches and doves, "community birds" as I call them).
