IlF Alfie looks really cute
Jo, parakeets really are the sweetest birds. I'm so glad yours are getting along so well. I think I mentioned on facebook how we once got a parakeet and they told us at the store that it was a girl and I was young and naive then and didn't know how to tell the difference and two years later, on the day the parakeet died we found out he was a boy.
(sometimes we joke and say the shock killed him)
Parakeets are actually my favorite birds, but since Robby's death I'm not quite ready to have another one, and for now have turned to other birds.
I don't know if I metioned it on NW, but around half a year ago, a friend told me her friend was looking to find a home for two peach faced lovebirds and I badgered my mom into letting me take them. For a while they had random names as everyone had different ideas of what to call them, and then the female became super aggressive and nearly killed the male and we had to seperate them. At that very time my whole family was obssessed with
Avatar: the Last Air Bender and so we decided to name the female Zula, in reference to Azula, the Fire Nation princess with a nasty character
. And then to make it match, we called the male Zuzu. They have officially been Zula and Zuzu for four months and the names have stuck
They still live seperately, but recently they seem to have become more friendly and I'm hoping they will live together again. Probably around the next two weeks I'm going to try and put Zuzu back into the cage with Zula and see what happens
here's a picture of them
(every so often I let them fly around the room so they can stretch their wings and do some exploring, the lamp is their favorite place to sit
)
