My dad and I went to a bird show today just to get millet and some more bird food for the finches....ONLY. We arrived back home with the food, the millet, oh and yeah, 2 gorgeous lovebirds. I must admit, the last thing I wanted was another bird to take care of. After Tommy passed, I decided no more birds for a while. The finches don't count because they are more for viewing than interacting and they are easy to care for. Nieko is a Dutch blue lovebird and Bindi is creamino lovebird. Both of them come from the same breeder. They were the only 2 in the cage and obviously got along fine. They are not shy at all. Bindi walks right up to Dakoda even when she is barking endlessly at her. I was a bit worried about how they would react around the dogs, but they are fine. Nieko stays away from Koda, but doesn't seem threatened by her. He just flies to the top of his perch away from her.
By the way, how do you keep a lab away from birds? Haha, it's in their nature to go for birds, really. Dakoda does have a natural instinct to chase any and every bird. She doesn't mind the finches much. She is a true bird watcher though, that's for sure! Dad's proud, lol
