Bluey The Lovebird – First Flight

This is too cute and I have to share it with you guys.


 

Prior to this video, Bluey had trouble hopping down a height of 10cm or less; so we didn’t expect him/her to actually fly upwards and onto my camera! Bluey probably had it in him/her and all it needed was confidence and enough curiosity.

10 Things A Guy Cannot Say When Owning A Bird

There are things a guy cannot say when he owns a bird like Bluey the Lovebird. The girls pretty much get away by saying the same things though.

For example:

“Do you want to see my bird?”

“Would you like to touch my bird?”

“Be gentle with my bird will ya!”

“Isn’t my bird very cute?”

“She likes my bird very much!”

“My bird likes being stroked around the head.”

“My bird is bigger than yours.”

“My bird like cozy and warm holes.”

“Look at how fast my bird grows!”

“I can play with my bird for hours!”


See what I mean? icon lol

When My Bird Ain’t Enough

KKNN has been clamoring for a baby Lovebird and it didn’t help that there wasn’t any stock for the creatures at Goodwill Birds Trading when we visited the popular and highly rated shop in December. They were plenty of beautiful adult Lovebirds there but she only wanted baby ones because she wants the Lovebird as a pet; and according to one of the friendly workers there, they don’t have an estimated time when they would get them because the baby Lovebirds come from their customers.

KKNN spent the week after moping at not being able to buy the bird and we resorted to calling up Goodwill Birds Trading every other day to check and also calling up other shops to check if they had any Lovebirds but to no avail. I had to appease her by offering to color my bird in the shades of a Lovebird.

Of course I didn't color my bird.... :p

 

I am quite the animal lover but I have never had the thought of having a bird as a pet whereas she had 3 chickens as pets before. My thinking is that cats/dogs make better pets as one would be able to walk them out without worrying if they are on the wrong end of the food chain and having them eaten up. I also feel that dogs/cats are more fun to play with considering their size and intelligence. But after reading more about the Lovebirds online through sites like Wikipedia, my perception of having a Lovebird as a pet has changed.

Here are some interesting facts:

  • They are actually miniature parrots
  • 8 out of 9 species originate from Africa
  • They are very affectionate and social creatures
  • They live as long as 10-15 years
  • They have the intelligence of a 3 to 4-year-old child
  • They can be toilet trained and be taught how to speak


Just last Saturday, we took a chance and went down to Goodwill Birds Trading and there was a dozen or so baby Lovebirds! KKNN was super elated and was super confused on which one of them to choose especially since the baby Lovebirds do not have fully grown feathers and it’s hard to tell how they will look like when older. We settled on a Lovebird after awhile and brought it back home with some supplies.

Introducing….. (for the lack of an imagination)…..

BLUEY!!!

Ain’t Bluey super duper cute! We spent a lot time cuddling him, playing with him and even more just staring at him over the weekend.

For all the ‘hims’ that I have used, we actually do not know Bluey’s gender because of it’s age. KKNN think Bluey is a girl and I think Bluey is a boy but gay.

What say you? Make a guess!
