Well, as some of you already know, I have a lovebird named Daisy! I'm not sure what kind of mutation she is, but I think it's a type of peach faced. Definitely common though. Her forehead will be orange and the rest of her face will be white with her body being green. Her wings were clipped at the bird farm I got her from so she's currently not flighted for now. At first she was definitely a "no touching" type of bird but after working with her for a bit, she tolerates petting but still hates being flipped onto her back or being grabbed. Bird toys are absolutely of no use to her which may be why she hates being in her cage so much. She's an extremely stubborn fellow who loves to chew everything I hold dear to me. But 'tis the life of a bird owner I suppose! And now, for pictures! Unfortunately, when I post them here, they end up way too big and cutting out more than half the picture, so I'll have to link them. Get ready for a whole mess of pictures!
The first day we brought her home, she immediately climbed out and on top of her cage to bask in the newfound sunlight: http://i.imgur.com/T6vjwxjh.jpg
First time eating from her bowl! http: http://i.imgur.com/rSwb9HZh.jpg
These were before Daisy found out how fun it was to chew on my laptop, mouse, papers, and fingers. Oh, how I miss those days...: http://i.imgur.com/arverw2h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/es2xP9zh.jpg
First of many encounters with the camera(which is also one of her favorite chew toys!): http://i.imgur.com/ABQMwidh.jpg
This was a few seconds after she'd tried flying out the window

Some of my favorite pictures are from when Daisy had a single eyebrow for a few days after her feathers dried like that. She looks so inquisitive: http://i.imgur.com/Rj4eEe0h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AohhALfh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JIy6HF3h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XIopZT4h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8On2JoBh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vXsD3Hyh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vM4t7tSh.jpg

Thanks for reading! And kudos to you if you got through all of those!

your daisy sounds like a darling little character.
Haha yeah, she'd been in a shadowed corner for so long, it was a totally new and awesome experience for her!
