LuLu's new friend KeKe

Yes I think I must have sucker written on my forehead.

We have had LuLu for some time now and since getting past the days she drives us crazy, with her high pitched chirping for attention, we have grown quite fond of her.

I have been wondering for a while if she would like a friend. I was hoping that if I did bring one home it may calm her down a bit. I happened to be in the pet store looking at a pair and noticing how content and quiet they seemed. It just so happened the next day when I came to work what was sitting there but another peach faced lovebird. I thought it was sure to be fate and took her home that afternoon.

Since then things have be quieter around the house and they both seem content to have company. I was an experience trying to cage them together and I am not sure that I will try that for a while. LuLu is definitely the dominant bird and wanted no part of someone sharing her mansion. So for now they sit side by side in their own private palaces and are content with the living arrangements.

I am not known for taking animals home as I have worked in vet clinic in the past for over 10 years and never felt the urge to need to. I guess these two stole my heart... the little clowns that they are! It as definitely been a crash course in bird care and behavior.
