GreenBean – Our 2nd Lovebird!
KuKuNehNeh has been itching to get a 2nd lovebird for quite sometime already and it didn’t help that she laid eyes on this lovebird sitting pretty lonely in a cage with birds of other species at this shop we walked by 2 weeks ago. This greenish looking lovebird was as much as an outcast as Bluey was when we first saw her. KKNN has this strange attraction to outcasts which bothers me now that I realize how attracted she is to me.
Knowing that Bluey is still recovering from his toe infection, I advised her against purchasing another bird as it would probably cause more problems. She probably wanted to reach out to a nearby perch and shove it up my ass but she didn’t and reluctantly agreed to not buy another bird.
Fast forward to last Saturday and we were on our way to the vet to let her do a check on Bluey’s toe, we saw the same green lovebird again; this time in another cage full of lovebirds. But every other lovebird was in a pair and the poor little thing was again, the outcast. I hate to call it fate but there was definitely some strange connection between KKNN and the green lovebird and it seemed to be the friendliest of the lot in the cage.
And so, she bought the bird.
Introducing…
GREENBEAN!
Greenbean is quite the darling! She is about 4 months old which makes her a month younger than Bluey. Up till now, Bluey hasn’t been accepting of Greenbean and is acting very much like a spoilt only child of us and would constantly bully Greenbean by biting pretty hard on her legs or body whenever she gets a chance. We would separate them of course and right now they are sleeping separately in different cages.
Greenbean had her wings clipped as well and she was so fascinated when she first saw Bluey fly that she tried to emulate her and failed miserably and ended up bumping herself into furniture. Since then, she tries so hard to follow whatever Bluey is doing, like a sibling does to an older one. Getting bitten at hardly stopped her from trying to befriend the aggressive Bluey.
Ain’t Greenbean a beauty!
Can’t wait for her to build trust with us and start growing her wings back so that she can fly around like Bluey does!
