I feel sad at one lorikeet that was the prettiest thing in the pet store. Bought an brought BACK more times than I actually know. All because of people who fell in love with him in the store but didn't do any research to know that the are LOUD! Felt so sorry for the poor thing as he was SOOO sweet.
Ok, off I go to soak my road-ridden bones. Happy entertaining (and buy some new running shoes!!). [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Thursday, April 02, 2009 7:16:48 PM)

Oh yes, lorikeets are extremely loud and they know it, LOL!
Waiting for my house guests to arrive. Cheeky friends of my husbands, it's the army logisitics corps sports week up here and they asked if they could stay cos they didn't want to sleep in a tent for a week LOL!

A lorikeet is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Like a cockatoo, though, they do get kinda loud (lesser degree of Fred). Almost got one when I went to get Kiko. Got her from an avian rescue place and the owner brought the lorikeet out. Splayed leg and I didn't think I could handle her. LOVELY, though!
Talking about the needs of the birds, though. Kiko will pout if I don't give her a headrub before she sleeps.
Ok, enough of this....I could go on with birds forever!

Awww that is awesome! Pets that interact with you are so much fun. My last experience with a bird was a rainbow lorikeet at the pet shop who decided he wanted to sit on my shoulder and play with my hair and clean my ears LMAO! So cute.

Ah they are lovely, Becks. Kiko has been my best friend for some 10 years.
Once someone asked me...what does she (they, really, as I also have Fred) do? Dumb freakin' question. They are smarter than the dogs, communicate better and are also creatures used to companionship. Kiko screeches when I am not in the room and Fred, well, he is a handfull. Talks! Makes a big difference. Especially at 6am. "Hello Fred!" First greeting of every day....

I couldn't live without my cats either, MG! Or my dog. They're my babies LOL!
Kiko is super cute Guido! I like birds but have never had one as a pet.

My older sis and I are in agreement that our parents lied to us about being also allergic to dogs. While the little one sets me off a bit (short hair), Calvin is not an issue. BIRDS would have easily been my first choice.
After all, Kiko stays with me when I break out my guitar. Calvin runs from the room!
