These two, OJ and Fiona, got adopted a while ago. We receive regular updates on how they're doing. They have had a great life in their new home.
Yesterday we received word that OJ had passed away. Fiona is very upset, as you can imagine. I don't really know what happened to OJ, but these birds, especially the lories, don't seem to be able to escape their pasts.
I don't know OJ's age. Maybe it was just his time. I'm pretty upset about it. Fiona was my baby and she loved me. OJ would tolerate me if I had Fiona. He'd bite me occasionally, just to remind me that he could. (Not that bites from a lory really count as bites.
We do have another black Capped Lory at the rescue. I don't know for sure if Livy is a male or female, but he and OJ would fight if they could get to each other. I suspect Livy is a male. I wonder if Fiona would take to him now?
