First, I started looking on craigslist for some, if any, lovebirds. I kept thinking that I could find the perfect lovebird for the perfect price just right down the road from me. Well, I was wrong. Not only did I stumble upon some pretty pictures with no birds attached, but I also found myself corresponding with poor speller e-mailers. Aside from that, my boyfriend just kept sighing each and every time I mentioned the lovebird idea.
How could he just sigh? I am planning my future! I am expanding my household and this man is sighing?
With failed attempts from craigslist, I ended up searching for a local bird store. And the next day, I was off to the bird store!
(Bird #1)
So why did I buy a lovebird? To have a bird wake me up in the mornings with the sweet chirps. But, this one didn't chirp. In fact, I generally had to wake her up most of the time.
Then I noticed she was beginning to seem lonely... Awww... I need another one!
With the help of my dear friend and old roommate, we went to the said store to buy a second bird for my lonely peach face lovebird. This will solve all my problems... ALL OF THEM!
As soon as we got there, the guy knew why I was there. He immediately said, "No, if you get another one, they might kill each other." OH.
So what was my end result? Buy the adorable pair who are already "bonded" and return the first bird tomorrow! But in the meantime having three birds is a bit challenging, exasperating, and extremely frustrating. Too much chirping.
