I caught the bird bug

Was never a huge fan of birds.... Have never thought of keeping a bird..... Have never understood the joy of having a pet you can't take out of the cage to play..... Until I met Blue Pumpkin & Sweet Corn...... the 2 cute as a button peach-faced lovebirds that erased all my stereotypical perceptions of the feathered ones. Cuddly, adorable, beautiful, playful & intelligent little creatures that will bond with you over time..... Ya, I know... it's almost like I'm talking about some puppies, kittens or bunnies...haha

Sweet Corn passed away when he was about 7 weeks old..... And I'm still searching for a suitable mate for Blue Pumpkin. I've since gotten another male lovebird- Green Pea, a male Rainbow Lorikeet- WeWe (meant as a birthday gift for my dad) & a baby budgie.

WeWe (just eaten.....damn fat!!)

Green Pea

I started hand-feeding Blue Pumpkin & Sweet Corn when they were under 4 weeks old.... I'm still hand-feeding WeWe, the 4 months old over-grown baby Rainbow Lorikeet..... A lil troublesome perhaps, but it's lotsa fun too!!

Hand-feeding WeWe I enjoy teaching them tricks, scratching their chins, letting them perch on my shoulders and most of all...... I enjoy watching them clown around!! WeWe clowning around Green Pea pearched on my nephew's shoulder Yes, I've caught the bird bug......or more accurately, I've caught the Parrot bug!!!
