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

Being your first bird I'm sure you'll establish very quickly how intelligent and affectionate they are. Depending on the bird I've been told they have the emotional complexity and intelligence of a three to five year old child. Goodluck and enjoy the little ball of sunshine!

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?

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!

I'm so glad I read that, I was going to tell you to take that suggestion and name her Nugget. That is the perfect name!

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!

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.


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?
