Hello from Canada! (eh)

Postby Skittles » Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:20 am

Hi guys!

I'm Lauren and am owned by two absolutely adorable Lovebirds: Skittles & Marley.

Skittles is 16 or 17 this year (I have to double check again haha) and is in my opinion, the world's PERFECT lovebird. She's snuggly, has enough personality to keep you entertained for hours and doesn't have a mean streak in her!

Marley turned 1 year on December 31 and I've had him from the age of 3 months. He's quite the opposite, he's very jumpy, doesn't understand that "Step up" means - go ONTO my finger and stay there. He'll decide to launch and run away in a panic (definitely puts my patience to the test). However, I am using Skittles as a learning crutch and he's slowly getting it. And I emphasize slowwwwwwwwwwly.

I look forward to adding my knowledge of lovebirds where I can :) and getting to know everyone!!!

~ Lauren, Skittles & Marley



EDIT: I have no idea how to change it, but I'm showing up as male :lol: Could a moderator change it or at least tell me how to? :)

Welcome to the forum!

That's a beautiful picture! And I love when birds preen eachother like that. :)
