Love Bird.
We have a Blue Front Amazon parrot and a Love Bird. Have mentioned the parrot before. Guess the Love Bird feels left out, he bit me this morning. Doesn't hurt, to small to do any damage. The parrot can tear you up, if he feels like it.
My wife and younger daughter went to the pet store for supplies one day, this was a couple years ago. They came home with this little Love Bird, impulse buy. Daughter is is sitting in the Jeep with this little bird snuggling under her chin, wife has that sly grin, looks at me. What can I say? That's what her look said. Seems this little bird had a busted leg, his right leg sticks out to the side at a most un-natural angle. Nobody would buy this bird, well almost nobody would. Twenty bucks for the bird and a cage, the store owner was happy to see him find a home.
My daughter said the bird reminded her of me, the bum leg and all that. I sustained some fairly serious injuries about eight or nine years ago, walked with a cane and limped for quite awhile.
Birds will usually bond with one person, the parrot has chosen our younger girl. He likes everyone, he's crazy about her. The Love Bird picked our older daughter to be his favorite, he rides all around the house hanging onto her long hair, chirping with delight. When she turns real quick her hair will fly out to the side, he swings on it like a kid on a tire swing.
Whenever the parrot is out on his perch he feeds the dogs, considers them lower flock members I guess. They love him, the shepherd and him are real tight, they nuzzle noses sometimes. The Love Bird is aggressive, scared to death of the dogs. He bites their noses, they stay clear of him.
