Lovebirds can be both fun and difficult.
Peaches was a female, constantly trying to build a nest, and very territorial over her cage.
(Males are more laid back, I am told.)
I had to watch what I fed her as she could easily get “heavy metal toxicity” [nickel or metalloid vitamins in food can do it] and she did not require grit in her food.
[It is darned hard to find food that doesn’t add grit. *UGH*]
There use to be a wonderful mom and pop pet store in the strip mall across the street from me, but then a big box brand name store came to town and killed it.
The mom and pop guy use to deliver bags and cans of Hills and clip kitties nails, if I would get a bird from him and have trouble he would come over.
Now that the big box store killed the mom and pop I’m kinda boycotting it, I miss my mom and pop. Maybe I’m better off with a fish, dang it. Until I get a cat of course.
