Oh so cute! I want a birdie! ^__^

[bernie_laraemie]

They are lovely!

(If you don't have bird experience, I would recommend getting one from a breeder that is hand fed and tame, otherwise they can be a handful. Note the five handfuls above.)

[jenisnape]

oh I've had birds before (Which is why I don't have any now...they are quite the handful, and right now I wouldn't have the time they require).
And yes, I would definitely go through a breeder. They can also offer so much more knowledge about the particular bird you are buying.

[jenisnape]

that was me haha ^^;

I had no idea a freshly bathed bird was so adorable. :-D

[bernie_laraemie]

The parrot_lovers comm and the like is usually overflowing with wet birdie pictures for this very reason!

They smell rather like wet dog.

[arhh]

Pretty birdies :) Poor Spot, can't get any :( What kind of bird is Chico?

[bernie_laraemie]

Chico is a lutino peach faced lovebird.

He's a beeb. He likes Half-Life as much as I do : )

[arhh]

LOL- he is very pretty. Very neon yellow. I thought love birds had to come in pairs or is that just an old wives' tale?

[bernie_laraemie]

Mm, they have to come in pairs if you don't spend every waking moment with them. Otherwise you can get one, so long as it can bond with you rather than a second bird. He's very much a people bird.

He's iridescent, actually. The white feathers (and some of the yellow ones on his back) are crystalline--they have a pearly look to them that a camera usually can't capture. Someone I know managed to photograph them on their lutino lovebird, and I'll send it to you when I get home. They're soooooooo cuute omg.

Also I have movement class. If you hear about some Hiroshima-kaplooey or Chernobyling from the direction of Ottawa, Canada, it was me. I admit it. I hate Movement so much. Especially since I am supposed to be exempted for being a cripple. OMG. I need to Twitter about this.

what cute birds! I have had cockatiels, budgies and small parrots. They're great.

[bernie_laraemie]

Every time I have an empty cage something feathered tends to find its way into it.

[phinnia]

you get more birds every time i turn around. and they're all beautiful. *hugs for you, birdseed for them*

[bernie_laraemie]

OMG it's only one. You must not turn around very much.
