I also got a bird when I went to the snake show!

I had a Lovebird back in the day. They are amazing pets. Loud, but tons of personality. Congrats, Robin!

Thanks Heather! Somewhere I read during my research, that if you play music softly for them during their developing months, they are trying to imitate the music, and will have a softer "voice" than if they don't have music playing softly for them. I'll let you guys know how that works out! LOL

I left for work today with the tv on softly for her to keep her company! LOL

I have read so far that lovebirds have the intelligence of a 2 year old. Does that mean I'll have terrible two's with her the whole time? :O

I keed - actually, there's supposed to be a month or two at around five or six months they they become incorrigible, and if you give an inch they take a mile - so I'm planning ahead for that!

She's adorible!!! I'm so jealous.

Yeah, I started calling her Nugget, Nug-Nug, Nuggers, not sure if Nugget was going to be my final choice - but I think that it will be! :D

Cool bird you got there, Robin. My grandmother use to have a love bird, it was a mean little thing but gorgeous none the less.

Thanks Jason! I do plan to try to curb any naughty behavior right from the start and have a well mannered little lovie! :)

She/He is beautiful......lovebirds are so pretty- I'm sure you'll have many happy years ahead. :D


I was just looking at some young Parrotlets today.....and boy are they CUTE! It makes me miss my budgie who died earlier this fall. But it may be time for a new bird? :P
