I got my start 3 years ago. started when I went to my friends candle lite party. and the end of the party her daughter, had two pet's she was giving away. so I told her I will take the lovebird.
it was strange because, just not less that a year ago. my husband had bought me Two birdcages. and I had no birds. they were used, but! we bought them for a great price. one was for a larger size parrot. the other was a flight cage.
so I had brought him home with me. at the time her name was Archie. she was told she was a he. then about 20 days later, I went and bought me another lovebird. "female". and they got along great! then there was a little to much eggs for one bird.
well that prompted me to buy two more lovebirds "males" and now I have and Aviary of lovebirds...
one Cherry headed conure, budgies, red rumped parrots, and cockatiels!
I have always been exposed to birds. my husband used to raise roller pigeons. and my daughter always had cockatiels, and budgies...
Birds are very addictive!! I think I need to quit collecting though. because even though, the majority of birds, are outside. there are still the ones inside. and they can be loud at times. but at least they do sleep through the night!
and that is my story...
