My Flock Increased By One

[chseeads]

Went to the bird fair in Indianapolis today and ended up coming away with a peach faced lovebird.

Calling him (it) Nehi, after Peach Nehi (soda pop).









I'm letting him settle in to his new digs.... He was hungry when we got home and I got him set up, he had a bite to eat first thing.

He's about 5 months old they said. He's very skittish right now, but he's had a rough day....lol.... Dunno how docile it'll be once everything has calmed down. Hopefully he'll come around well.

My new flock member is very skittish and doesn't like to be messed with.... He seems to be adjusting to the new surroundings a little bit, as he doesn't run to the back of the cage immediately when you approach him and stuff anymore... But I dunno how well he'll tame down, I know it takes time, but I just wonder if he is just going to retain a wild streak or what....

Which brings me to a question.... If after time he doesn't calm down would it be better to just get him (it) a buddy to live with, and let them bond to each other for companionship? Would an untamed pair be alright just staying in their cage and enjoying each other (not needing out of cage play time) or what?

Hopefully he will tame down for I to have the same question about my love bird, but he does jump on to my arm when I open up his cage, My computer is located right next to his cage, lol! Good luck and Congrats

congrats on your new lovie! I would give this little a guy to come around and bond to you before you get another. And even if you do end up getting another lovie to be his friend, doesn't mean you will be able to cage them together. Lovebirds are pretty territorial and it's not as easy to just dump a new cage mate in there with them and expect them to get along. Though, at the same time it may work because he is still a baby.

But anyways, thanks for posting some pics. He's adorable.
