July 24, 200817 yr Author I loved to know if it's a him or her too LOL - okay so Here is a story for you all hope you are ready it's a long, really long one - LOL - Nar I went to get some more feed and it just stuck out like teats on a bull - so to speak It was amoungst green ones and I had to have it, I have been wanting one for soooo long, and well I got him/ her from my local breeder. Lori, felt the bones but as it is young still have 50% chance of either sex mut leaning towards male .... Now to read up on them I know a few members here have some lovebirds care to lend me some advice LOL, so far I am treating him ( still yet to pick a unisex name) a Bigger budgie only new so she is in my p.c room with a radio on so that no nastys if any gets to mac Edited July 24, 200817 yr by Neat
July 24, 200817 yr Won't you see that little face! You just KNOW it's planning to take over the world.
July 24, 200817 yr SNOOKY ! What a cutie Neat ... I will look forwards to pics & updates on the Snookster. Looks like you are going to have some New fun on your hands.
July 24, 200817 yr Nice one Neat- I have a heap like that. Yep just treat it like a big budgie.Same greens and softfood; slightly different mix of seed although mine like the budgie mix :fear Will it be a tame bird or aviary?
July 24, 200817 yr Author I am going to try and tame it HOW EVER - The size of it's beak freaks me out!!! *ouch
July 24, 200817 yr I'm guessing from the chatter that it's a lovebird, but the picture wont download for me, I tried everything no luck. Like others have said if it's a Lovebird feed just as per a Budgie. If it's very young it should tame down very quick I have had them if kept by themselves, finger tame in a couple of days, one was real nice & tame, but the other one a female I suspect, as they are very hard to sex, wasn't afraid but you couldn't call it tame all it wanted to do was bite my hand…as you say beware the beak pretty powerful & more aggressive than a Budgie. Now that I posted the picture is showing up, it’s a Blue Mask Lovebird. Sex your guess is as good as mine. If you have some birds together the biggest & most aggressive are the females, but with just one bird, even though I’ve had them for more than 10 years I wouldn’t have a clue. DNA test is only sure way. Edited July 24, 200817 yr by Norm
